Zalman CNPS10X OPTIMA

An air cooler standing 160mm tall rated to dissipate 180W. Noise is specced at 17 dBA; socket compatibility spans AM5, AM4, LGA1700. That rating covers upper-midrange CPUs at stock and mild overclocks. At 160mm tall, verify case cooler clearance — mid-towers typically allow 160–170mm.

Its $26.34 price tag places it squarely in budget territory. Drop it into the PlanMyPC builder to check compatibility with the rest of your parts and compare current CPU cooler prices across retailers. Warranty coverage follows Zalman's standard policy — confirm regional terms on the listing.
