An In-Depth Look

The CNPS3100 heatsink was specially designed for a socket CPU. That means it can be used for most AMD, Intel as well as VIA CPUs. But what about Slotket users? Will the CNPS3100 heatsink fit at all? Read on to find out!

Zalman really knows how to market their products. They are among the few manufacturers who place some importance in their coolers' packaging. The CNPS3100 even comes with a high quality 10-page manual!

Opening the box reveals the manual, the flower heat sink, a Zalman fan, the 'noiseless' fan connector, a heat sink clip, some screws and the thermal paste. Everything was packaged nicely and it goes to show how professional Zalman is. Bravo to them. ;D

Everything out of the box

Wondering why the User's Manual looks like an ICI paint catalogue? Well, take a closer look. It actually shows the colour changes of copper over time. Useful information! :D
