## Long description

ZALMAN CNPS9X OPTIMA2 is a compact CPU cooler with a 120 mm PWM fan (800–1500 RPM) and hydraulic bearing, designed for effective cooling in desktop builds. The cooler supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets including the latest Intel LGA1851 and AMD AM5, and includes a black anodized top cover, chrome-coated heatpipes and direct-touch heatpipe (DTH) contact for improved thermal transfer. An addressable RGB lighting system is built into the white-matte blades to provide customizable illumination. The package also contains Zalman's ZM-STC8 thermal compound to improve contact between the CPU and heatpipes.
Advantages
The CNPS9X OPTIMA2 combines direct-touch heatpipes and chrome coating to enhance thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance while the black anodized top cover adds a uniform finish. The 120 mm PWM fan with hydraulic bearing balances airflow and noise, with a maximum measured noise level of 29.5 dB(A). Addressable RGB lighting integrated into the fan blades allows visual customization without affecting cooling performance. Included ZM-STC8 thermal compound reduces thermal resistance at the interface for more consistent heat transfer under load.
Suitable for
Desktop PCs requiring a compact tower CPU cooler
Systems using Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115x, LGA2066, LGA2011-v3/2011 or AMD AM5/AM4/AM3 sockets
Everyday use, office work and light to moderate gaming
Builds where quiet operation and ARGB lighting are desired

How to use
Install the cooler following the included mounting instructions for your CPU socket: mount the backplate (if required), apply a thin, even layer of the supplied ZM-STC8 thermal compound to the CPU heatspreader, position the cooler so the direct-touch heatpipes contact the CPU, and secure the mounting brackets. Connect the 4‑pin PWM fan header to the motherboard for speed control and the ARGB connector to a compatible header or controller to enable lighting. Confirm secure mounting and that the fan and lighting are functioning before closing the case.
Usage recommendations
For best results, ensure compatibility with your case and RAM height before installation; maintain regular dust cleaning of the fan and heatsink, and monitor fan speed via motherboard software to balance cooling and acoustic levels.
