welcome to my unboxing your first look at the CN PS 14 X 140 millimeter fan ultra quiet cooler from Zalman and socket LGA 2011 ready and can use up to three fans to additional fans available for installation that doesn't even mean anything okay moving right along to the side powerful cooling performance on a 40 millimeter pwm fan with low noise u-shaped dual heatsink excellent compatibility high performance thermal grease is included and it can be installed in mid tower computer cases is what I'm sure they meant to say it's like middle computer cases like middle-earth like if your computer cases like hobbits and stuff powerful cooling performance okay this this looks like most of the same stuff we already saw so why don't we go ahead and open this up this might matter the weight is Wow almost about two pounds actually that's outstanding and long life bearing okay long life bearing isn't an actual bearing type I wonder if then you like low ball bearing or like Hydra bearing or kind of daring so on one of my previous Zelman cooler unboxings I had said that I liked their mounting mechanism I think they've changed their mounting mechanism since last time I used it because it was a little bit challenging to get all the pieces sort of aligned and assembled and then and then going in terms of packing materials we're using a soft foam down here in the bottom so there's not much risk of damage and then this cardboard at the top is going to be pretty much all you need to protect this guy I like this right here this piece it seems kind of like unnecessary until you think about it in terms of if you've ever had a tower cooler with two towers before and what happens when you accidentally like bend them which is I've had this happen so this is good I'm a fan let's have a look at the overall design of the cooler so the obligatory finger shot is it shiny yes it's shiny not like the the 9900 max that we looked at before but it is shiny and honestly it's not really necessary for it to be a mirror-like finish in order to make good contact with the CPU in terms of heat pipes we've got sixty types these are smaller heat pipes but there's lots of them and the towers are nice and big so you've got a fairly dense actually you've got a fairly dense arrangement here so you're going to need a fairly high-performance fan in order to really generate the best performance out of this cooler however I do like the whole sandwich cooler design overall because it's all it always felt stupid to me back in the day that we weren't making any use of the air that's coming into the intake and we're only making use of the air that the fan is exhausting because some people think that and they're wrong some people think that the air that gets exhausted from a cooler that's like let's let's say let's say this part didn't exist it's just a fan blowing down onto heat sinks they think that the air coming out of here is already like the maximum temperature that could have been you know transmitted to that air it doesn't work that way I mean the air temperature might only raise a few degrees going from here with the through the fan and through the other side so yes this side is going to be slightly less efficient than this side in terms of cooling but it's a lot better than nothing so you're definitely better off I mean a swift tech did their stack series of radiators where they have you could have two radiators and the single air fans in between as long as you've got a high pressure high performance fan that is a beastly way to achieve more cooling surface area without sacrificing um noise because you can use one fan to do the work of two as long as it's high static pressure so it's a 140 millimeter fan you've got additional mounting hardware included right here for an additional two fan so this is actually has very very dense because it's using many thinner heat pipes and then a fairly dense arrangement here but you've got more of these that you can actually mount like I don't know it'll go on there somehow slicks trying to figure it out too but I don't think he stands a better chance I mean if I can't do it he can't do it I'm just bugging you it goes on here somehow yeah I really don't think it goes there I don't think that's it I think it's this one I think it's this one I'd probably like stretches over a fan somehow and it might actually be this way but everything would be hunky-dory somehow it would it would fit don't worry ah mounting hardware thermal briefs is included and Zeldin case badge and nice rigid backplate so that's one thing it does have going for it and I think that pretty much covers it so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at CMPs 14x from Zalman and don't forget subscribe to Linus tech tips from unboxings reviews and other computer videos and just in case you wanted something totally ridiculous with your CMPs 14x you can actually set up up to an additional 2 fans with the included mounting brackets to go with the one in the middle which means you've got a push pull push pull configuration on this thing making it like about as big as a person's head see check this out more performance more silence just generally more of everything so yes thank you for checking out this unboxing and sort of ludicrous application of a huge cooler from solvin actually this is slightly different than the 9900 in terms of mounting this was a little bit disappointing to me so this is the same so you'll you'll go ahead and you'll put these in under these screws you just loosen a little bit you throw this in here and then you tighten them back up and then you know it doesn't go there it goes in between and then you go ahead and you put these bolts through here and then once this like if the motherboard is installed in your case then this will be really challenging because this will be here or like here and then you'll have like this reg and you'll be trying to tighten it like this
