## Summary description

The Zalman CNPS9X PERFORMA ARGB WHITE is an air cooler featuring a 12 cm fan that provides an airflow of 104.25 m³/h and a maximum air pressure of 1.43 mmH2O. With dimensions of 122 mm width, 76 mm depth, and 157 mm height, this cooler is designed to efficiently dissipate heat from your processor while maintaining a stylish white design with ARGB lighting.

## Long description

The Zalman CNPS9X PERFORMA ARGB WHITE is an air cooler designed for desktop processors, combining a compact white heatsink with a 120 mm PWM fan and addressable RGB illumination. The cooler uses four white-coated copper heat pipes with Direct Touch Heatpipe (DTH) technology and a fin array to transfer and dissipate heat efficiently. Its fan delivers up to 104.25 m³/h (≈61.36 CFM) airflow with PWM speed control and hydro bearing for reduced noise and extended lifespan. Dimensions of 122 x 76 x 157 mm make the cooler suitable for many mid-tower builds while the integrated ARGB lighting connects to a 5V 3-pin header for motherboard synchronization.
Advantages
The CNPS9X PERFORMA ARGB WHITE minimizes airflow resistance and operational noise through a Vortex Breaker Blade design and optimized PWM fan control. Direct-touch heat pipes reduce thermal resistance for faster heat transfer from the CPU to the fin stack. White-coated copper heat pipes provide improved thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance while matching the cooler's aesthetic. An anti-vibration rubber damper lowers vibration noise during operation, and the package includes a high-conductivity thermal compound (ZM-STC8) for better contact between CPU and heat pipes.
Suitable for
Cooling mainstream and high-performance desktop CPUs with up to 180 W TDP
PC builds that require a compact tower cooler with ARGB lighting
Systems where low noise and reduced vibration are a priority
Motherboards with a 5V addressable RGB header for lighting sync

How to use
Install the cooler according to the motherboard socket type, aligning the mounting bracket with the CPU socket and securing the cooler evenly to ensure proper contact of the direct-touch heat pipes. Apply the included ZM-STC8 thermal compound between the CPU heat spreader and the cooler base if a pre-applied compound is not present. Connect the 4-pin fan cable to a CPU fan header to enable PWM speed control, and plug the 5V 3-pin ARGB cable into a compatible motherboard header to control lighting. After installation, verify fan operation and monitor temperatures during initial system boot and stress testing.
Usage recommendations
Ensure sufficient case clearance for a 157 mm cooler height before purchase and install. For optimal cooling performance, configure PWM fan curves in the BIOS or motherboard software to balance noise and thermal performance, and periodically clean dust from the fins and fan to maintain airflow and longevity.
