Zalman FX100 Ultimate Fanless CPU Cooler Zalmans innovative new FX100 CPU cooler is designed to utilise natural convection where the heatsink passively transfers the heat to its surroundings. The hot air is then exhausted out of the chassis with the help of chassis fans or via natural convection through the top of a suitable case. Due to its passive & efficient operation, several factors that contribute to a shorter life span in electronics (such as vibration, dust, & heat) have a minimal impact, which makes the FX100 one of the most durable CPU cooler available on the market today. Features High performance fanless CPU cooler Black-pearl nickel plated Hexahedron heatsink Mirror-like base finish ZM-STG2M thermal paste supplied Optional 92mm fan can be installed Design: The FX100 comprises of ten nickel plated copper heat pipes as well as six separate aluminium fin stacks. Four of the heat pipes actually make direct contact with the baseplate, with two of these running up into the pair of internal fin stacks & the remaining two branching out to the four corners of the cube. The unique design of the fin stacks means that the FX100 can take full advantage of existing airflow inside your chassis from almost any direction. Passively cool processors up to 95W Most mainstream desktop processors these days usually have a TDP of 95W or less & the FX100 cooler is capable of passively cooling processors up to 95W. The FX100 can still be used to more extreme, cool hotter running processors up to 130W with the aid of an optional 92mm fan. Compatibility: The square design means that once fitted to the motherboard, the coolers heatsink won't obstruct the PCI-E x 16 slot next to the processor & this will allow for a regular graphics card (with a non-wraparound heatsink) to be fitted in the fastest PCI-E slot on your motherboard. The relatively standard height for a cooler of this size (157mm) will ensure that it is compatible with a wide range of ATX tower cases, but we would recommend a minimum case width of 185mm to ensure a guaranteed fit. As you would expect, the FX100 is compatible with all modern CPU sockets including LGA 2011 & it is supplied with Zalman's own high performance ZM-STG2 thermal grease which helps to maximise the heat transfer from the CPU to the base allowing optimal cooling performance.
