ZALMAN CNPS3100-GP is a high-performance CPU cooler designed to provide exceptional cooling for your computer's processor. It features a large, pure copper Flower HeatSink (FHS) with a gold plating, which effectively dissipates heat from the CPU and helps to maintain optimal operating temperatures. The cooler also includes a 92mm fan that can be mounted in various locations to provide optimal airflow and cooling.

The CNPS3100-GP is compatible with a wide range of CPU sockets, including Intel and AMD processors. It is also designed to be compatible with virtually all computer cases and motherboards, making it a versatile cooling solution for a variety of systems.

1) Zalmans CPU Coolers do not generate noise and vibration in Silent Mode.

2) The heat dissipating material of the Flower HeatSink (FHS) is 100% Aluminum or Copper.

3) Separation of the FHS from the CPU fan prevents transfer of the fan's vibration to the CPU.

4) By utilizing a 92mm fan, both the CPU and the motherboard chipset are cooled.

5) The cooling fan can be mounted at any desired location, making it compatible with virtually all

computer cases and motherboards (Note: computer cases that have the power supply covering the

CPU cannot be used).

6) CPU can be cooled to a temperature sufficiently below the temperature required by the CPU

manufacturer in Silent Mode.

7) Zalmans CPU Coolers enable very stable operation of a CPU in an OVERCLOCKED environment.

* If you try OVERCLOCKING, please make sure that the fan is in Normal Mode.

* Zalman Tech. Co., Ltd. is not responsible for any damage to systems or CPUs caused by CPU

OVERCLOCKING.

1) For a noiseless computer, a Noise Prevention (NP) Power Supply, a NP HDD, a NP CD-ROM and

a NP VGA Card should be used together with this cooler.

2) Zalman affixes a Computer Noise Prevention System (CNPS) Mark to each of its parts and

components used for noiseless computers.

3) For a high-performance NP VGA Card, it is preferable to use a VGA FHS.

4) When buying a new VGA Card, it is recommended to buy a VGA Card without a fan.

1) Spread the thermal grease thinly onto the CPU core’s surface that comes in contact with the FHS

as shown in FIG. 2.

2) Install the clip across the FHS as shown in FIG. 2

3) Hook the short leg of the clip onto the socket first, then hook the long leg on by pushing the hole

in the leg with the heatsink installation tool or an ordinary screw driver as shown in FIG. 3.

4) If you need to reinstall the FHS, remove the clip by inserting the heatsink installation tool into

the clip’s hole and pushing outward, as shown in FIG. 4, or inserting an ordinary flathead screw

driver into the clip’s slit and pushing outward, as shown in FIG. 5.

1) As shown in FIG. 7, you can freely place the fan and the bracket in any desired location with

the FB123. Therefore, place the fan in an ideal location as shown in FIG. 6. You can also place an

additional fan on the FB123 to maximize the cooling of the VGA Card as shown in FIG. 8.

2) Screw on the FB123 firmly at the VGA Card slot hole and the expansion slot hole next to it with

the included bolts. (Caution! The included bolts are of two types : inch-sized and mm-sized.

Use the appropriate type for the slot holes.)

 Connect the noiseless connector (RCXX) to the FB123 fan’s 3-pin connector. Then, connect

the noiseless connector to the motherboard’s CPU fan connector (3-pin) as shown in FIG. 9.

Note 1) The separate speed noiseless connector will be on sale afterwards (See FIG. 10). Refer to

the manual when using it.

 Turn on the computer after the assembly is finished.

 If an alarm sound is generated to indicate that the rotation of the CPU fan is slow after the system

monitoring program starts to operate during booting of the computer, please unplug the noiseless

connector from the fan and set “CPU Fan Detected” to “Disable” in the BIOS settings, or set the

slowest rotation of the CPU fan in the system monitoring program, to less than or equal to

1500 RPM. Then, reconnect the noiseless connector to the CPU fan connector.

Note 2) Some motherboards do not boot if the RPM of the CPU fan is not measured. In this case,

please boot the computer with the Cooler fan in Normal Mode, i.e. after removing the

noiseless connector. If the BIOS settings are updated, Silent Mode can be used by

reconnecting the noiseless connector. For information on updating the BIOS, please refer

to the motherboard manufacturer’s web site.
