normal model, nothing special
16 February 2014 
I bought it as an inexpensive cooler to replace the noisy complete cooling system that was purchased along with the processor. Well, what can I say... So-so SO, very far from the title of a masterpiece. Only suitable for situations like mine where there is no need for special cooling. It’s not entirely clear what’s wrong with the material. It says here that it is copper, and it looks like copper. However, I read online that it is actually aluminium with a copper coating. I don't know, too lazy to check. But if this is the case, [censored] should be a shame, they always seem to have made good coolers, without any tricks.
Despite its compact size, it is quite effective (slightly better than a complete solution), although miracles should not be expected. Doesn't make much noise during operation. The installation was not too difficult, I did it quickly and without lengthy reading of the instructions.
As they say, I bought it first and thought about it later. After all, when the fan makes noise, it will not be possible to change it. This means that the entire cooler will have to be replaced. Although, considering its cost, this is not too scary, it’s just unnecessary fuss. The base is not very level, but this does not seem to cause any problems.

The cooler is excellent! It doesn't make much noise, but it cools well. Low, there are copper heat pipes. Installation is very simple, the kit includes everything you need. Manufactured by Zalman.
I liked everything.

Low profile design

The Zalman CNPS2X heatsink has a cupped shape, and the fan is recessed deep into. This was done to ensure that the cooler height was minimal - 27 mm. Therefore, this design will be optimal for computers with compact form factors - HTPC and Steam Machine.

pure copper

The fins, single heatpipe, and pad are made of copper, which conducts heat much better than aluminium. The tube is in direct contact with the processor and is twisted into a ring along the contour of the cooler, giving off heat to all fins evenly.

Quiet fan

The Zalman CNPS2X spinner has a diameter of 80 mm and a rotation speed of up to 2600 rpm. Turnovers, it seems, are not small, but the noise level, thanks to the blades twisted by an arc, does not exceed a moderate 23 dB. And then, the propeller will be accelerated to the maximum only on six- and eight-core AMD processors. Whereas on less hot Intel chips, which are usually used in compact computers, the fan buzz will not be heard at all (anything below 20 dB is not audible from a closed PC case). Given all of the above, this miniature cooler is best suited for building compact form factor computers based on Intel chips.
