https://www.techpowerup.com/265147/zalman-releases-cnps20x-twin-tower-cooler-300-w-tdp Zalman has now achieved global availability of their CNPS20X twin tower cooler, an air-cooling solution designed to dissipate up to 300 W of heat from your CPU of choice. The Zalman CNPS20X features loads of heat transfer technologies, including RDTH (Reverse Direct Touch Heatpipe), an evolution of the now ubiquitous DTH (Direct Touch Heatpipe) technology applied to its six heatpipes, alongside IHD (Interactive Heatpipe transfer Design) for increased thermal performance (Zalman claims this last technology brings improvements in heat dissipation in the order of 20x).
Not only the heatpipe design has been touched upon, though; the company also employed what it calls a 4D corrugated fin design, which means the fins themselves have contours (imagine a honeycomb shape and you're close) that improve heat dissipation and airflow. There's a stack of fins built out of copper, which are located close to the center of the airflow to improve heat dissipation further.
Zalman's Dual Blade impeller technology is also employed here, which the company claims concentrates airflow instead of dispersing it along the outer channels. The company says they have employed a biomimetic design principle to their fans, inspired by spider legs, and achieving reduced vibration and noise on their fan operation (besides the usual gains in employing fluid dynamic bearings). The CNPS20X also features RGB lighting compatible with Razer Chroma. The CNPS20X is available at a pricing around €90.
Personally I like the design. I have used Zalman coolers many years ago and the quality was always very good.
