## Long description

The Zalman CNPS13X BLACK is a 120 mm air cooler designed for efficient CPU cooling in desktop systems. It combines a hydraulic (hydro) bearing fan with Zalman’s RDTH (Reverse Direct Touch Heatpipes) and black-coated copper heatpipes to reduce thermal resistance and improve heat transfer while maintaining low noise and long service life. The cooler includes an Addressable RGB top cover for customizable lighting via a 4-pin ARGB header and ships with Zalman’s ZM-STC8 thermal compound for improved contact between the cooler base and the CPU.
Advantages
The hydraulic bearing fan provides quieter operation and increased durability compared with standard sleeve bearings, while shark-fin annular blade geometry reduces airflow resistance for lower noise. RDTH heatpipe design and black-coated copper heatpipes increase thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. PWM fan control adjusts speed automatically to balance cooling performance and acoustics. Anti-vibration rubber dampers reduce vibration noise during operation.
Suitable for
Cooling mainstream desktop CPUs up to 240 W TDP
PC builders seeking a compact 120 mm cooler with ARGB lighting
Systems requiring low-noise operation and long-lasting fan bearings

How to use
Install the Zalman CNPS13X BLACK on a compatible CPU socket following the motherboard and cooler mounting instructions. Apply the included ZM-STC8 thermal compound to the CPU heatspreader in a thin, even layer before seating the cooler base. Connect the fan to the CPU\_FAN or SYS\_FAN header with PWM control for automatic speed adjustment. Attach the 4-pin ARGB connector to an addressable RGB header to enable lighting control and synchronization.
Usage recommendations
For best results, ensure case airflow is adequate (intake and exhaust) and reapply thermal compound after several years or if the cooler is removed. Verify clearance for RAM and other components given the cooler’s height of 159 mm.
