Model overview based on user reviews
The Zalman CNPS14X is a quiet and efficient cooling solution for processors, offering excellent cooling performance with its 140 mm fan and six heat pipes. Users appreciate its ability to maintain low temperatures, even under heavy loads, with one reviewer noting their Core i7 rarely exceeds 50 degrees. However, the cooler's build quality is somewhat rough, with sharp edges that can cause injury during assembly, and the mounting system is not the most convenient. Additionally, its large size may not fit all cases, especially those with a top PSU. Despite these drawbacks, the cooler is praised for its powerful cooling without unnecessary noise and is considered a great choice for those seeking a quiet system.
Pros
Cons
Want a quiet system that won't heat up even under heavy loads? Then buy this cooler and you won't go wrong. Despite some shortcomings, I think it's simply magnificent. Taking into account the quiet video card, I got a very quiet computer that doesn't interfere with sleep at all, although it stands right at the head of the bed. Very quiet, but at the same time provides really good cooling. If desired, you can install additional 140 mm fans and then the efficiency will increase even more. But I don’t know who needs this, I didn’t need it with my Core i7, the temperature rarely rises above 50 degrees. Although, if you like overclocking, then you will probably need something more interesting. The build quality is somewhat rough and ungainly. You can simply cut yourself on the plates if you move carelessly during assembly. The sole could have been polished more thoroughly. Also, the mounting system is somewhat inconvenient, I did not immediately figure out what was what, and the instructions in the kit are simply useless. The dimensions can also be mentioned among the disadvantages, but this is more of a design feature. However, do not be lazy and make sure in advance that this fan will definitely suit you and will not interfere with anything.  XXX-One: use Zalman CNPS14X month or more |
Bought, installed, and no problems: a 4-core Xeon retooled for socket 775 and overclocked to 3.94 GHz hasn’t heated above 50 even once in 2 years. Of course, the cooler is additionally equipped with two 120mm fans at 1500 RPM!!! Very powerful cooling without unnecessary noise !!! Build quality Price Not the most convenient mounting system, but reliable There is no possibility to replace the standard fan, but no complaints in 2 years of use Overall dimensions do not allow installation in a case with a top PSU and may not fit in every case width-wise Vadim Rapeyko: use Zalman CNPS14X month or more i recommend it should buy |
