Zalman CNPS9X PERFORMA PLUS ARGB - CPU Cooler, Black

The Zalman CNPS9X PERFORMA PLUS is a tower-style CPU cooling unit designed to manage thermal loads up to 220W TDP. Its primary structure consists of aluminum fins integrated with copper components for efficient thermal transfer away from the processor surface. The cooler assembly maintains a total height of 157 mm, with overall dimensions measuring 122 mm wide by 77 mm deep, ensuring compatibility with many standard ATX mid-tower chassis configurations.

Heat dissipation is managed by a single 120 mm fan utilizing a Hydrodynamic Bearing system, rated for a mean time to failure (MTTF) of 40,000 hours. Fan speed is regulated via 4-pin Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, allowing rotational speeds to adjust between 600 RPM and 2000 RPM based on temperature input. At its maximum speed, the fan achieves an airflow of 69.12 CFM and a static pressure of 2.01 mmH2O, with a noise output specified at 29.7 dB.

The unit includes all necessary mounting hardware to support a broad range of modern socket platforms, including Intel LGA 1700 and LGA 1851, alongside current AMD AM4 and AM5 systems. It also integrates Addressable RGB (ARGB) lighting into the fan housing, which operates independently via a dedicated 5V 3-pin connector.
