Frequently Asked Questions - CNPS17X ZALMAN

Which sockets are compatible with the Zalman CNPS17X?

The CNPS17X is compatible with most Intel sockets (LGA 2066, 2011-v3, 2011, 1700, 1200, 115x, 1366, 775) and AMD sockets (AM5, AM4, sTRX4, sTR4, SP3).

Is thermal paste included?

Yes, the cooler comes with Zalman ZM-STC8 thermal paste pre-applied on the base.

How to install the CNPS17X on an Intel LGA 1700 socket?

Use the included Intel mounting kit. Attach the backplate, place the brackets, and screw down the heatsink. Tighten the screws in a cross pattern for even contact.

What is the maximum noise level of the fan?

The maximum noise level is 32 dB(A) at full speed (1500 RPM).

Can I control the fan speed?

Yes, the fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing automatic speed control via the motherboard or software.

What is the maximum RAM height compatible?

The heatsink does not overhang the RAM slots thanks to its asymmetrical design. Modules of all heights are generally compatible.

How to clean the Zalman CNPS17X?

Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from the fins and fan. Avoid solvents.

Is the cooler compatible with overclocked processors?

Yes, it can dissipate up to 200 W TDP, suitable for most moderate overclocking. For extreme overclocking, consider a more powerful model.

Does the warranty cover shipping damage?

No, according to the manual, Zalman is not responsible for damage during transport. It is recommended to remove the cooler before moving the PC.

Can I replace the original fan?

Yes, the fan is attached with clips. You can replace it with a standard 140 mm model with clip mounting (not included).
