Zalman takes a unique shape to CPU cooling with the CNPS9900DF. Unlike conventional dual tower coolers, the Zalman CNPS9900DF uses two rounded towers rather than the typical hard cornered variety. The front tower of the CNPS9900DF has one heatpipe with straight fins arranged in a radial pattern and a 120mm 1000rpm fan set into it. A 140mm 900-1400rpm PWM fan is positioned between the two towers for a push/pull configuration. The rear tower contains two heatpipes and, while the fins retain the radial pattern, they use Cross Bending Technology to maximize surface area. The three heatpipes of the CNPS9900DF run into a copper base, which sports a mirror finish on the contact area. Though the CNPS9000DF is a dual tower cooler, its unique shape allows it to fit in almost any application, as it stands only 154mm, and the set in front fan limits width to 100mm. To add to its unique appearance, both included fans of the CNPS9900DF feature blue LED lighting. The included mounting kit is compatible with Intel LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011 and AMD FM1/AM2/AM3 sockets."
