what that actually stands for speaking of which I think I still have one of the first like Enthusiast grade products that I ever bought see if I can find it ah yes no this isn't ah this isn't the one I was thinking of the first one I bought was actually a cnps 7,000 which was the original uh flower from zman this is a 7700 the only difference being that it uses a 120 mm fan and the other one that I had was a pure copper one that weighed a ton cool really well well for back in the day anyway okay okay so cnps case noise prevention system or something along those lines uh if I'm if I'm wrong if I don't remember exactly correct please please do leave a comment and let me know but either way we've come a long way so this is a liquid cooling unit liquid sealed water cooler for easy installation and freedom from maintenance built-in pump within water block minimizes tubes therefore increasing reliability that that is actually true more joints is more points of failure micro fins made of pure copper inside the water block provide excellent heat transfer so that is referring to the block right here durable and long-lasting tubes are easy to bend allowing easy installation if these are the ones I think they are then that much is true as well low profile water block design enhances air flow inside the chassis this hey this can be a factor guys like check this out so over here this is my uh IV Bridge test bench and you can see here that um the vrm coolers so around here on the voltage regulation modules do require some active air flow so when you have a fan on here they obviously get some however if you have a big bul bulky water cooler what that can do is it can actually impede the air flow around the CPU socket area uh causing it to overheat which can cause it to be less stable so if you have a nice low profile CPU water block then you should be less likely to run into any difficulty with that so here we are comes with a pwm fan that runs at 2,000 RPM at full speed inside we find some foam we find a users manual which uh looks pretty straightforward okay then we find the unit itself it's got a bit of a different look now this is an acch oem unit so if you guys are familiar with what that means you'll know that it means you've got uh a fairly bog standard set of mounting hardware so you see here these are all labeled 775 11 56 and 1366 are all on there you can see we've got uh AMT retentions right here we've also got our Intel hold down here and then with these clips right here I believe it should be compatible with socket 2011 or LGA 2011 so you got all the various oh it might be this one Whatever you've got all the various retentions that you need for 775 fm1 1156 1155 1366 2011 am3 am3 plus am2 am2 plus pretty much whatever you need comes with a zman fan pwm fairly long wire on it so you can run that to wherever it is that you need to go seems to be a fairly sturdy construction compared to the fans that you usually see included with these uh prefabbed water cooling doodads a little plastic cover here and we find something that looks pretty familiar at this point so one key difference that we find is that it does use the more rubbery style of tubing what this does is this minimizes the amount of evaporation that can occur compared to ah these ones over here these kinds of uh more plastic tubings they're also much much easier to Route so

thin wall tubing means you are more prone to kinking whereas having a thick wall tubing means you are less prone to kinking there's no performance Advantage either way but it definitely gives you more flexibility in terms of like if your CPU socket happens to be here or here or here or here like here then no big deal now you've also got some more installation flexibility where you're using uh rotating fittings right here so you don't have to worry about any leaks or anything like that you've also got pre-applied thermal compound this is air good quality thermal compound so if this is the first time you're installing it I wouldn't recommend replacing it with something else you're going to want to just go ahead and install that right on there it's only if you take it off and need to reapply it you need to clean both your CPU and the surface and then uh reapply thermal compound now for the radiator we see it's using a thick style radiator so you're going to see better performance than you would with a thin 120 mm rad although not quite as good as you'd see with a thin dual 120 mm rad like the one over there on the h 100 that's running on my IV Bridge test bench and I think that pretty much covers it as far as other installation tips go the last thing I do is whenever possible you want to install it with the barbs up on the radiator sorry pardon me uh barbs down because what that means is any air pockets will be isolated here rather than constantly cycling through your Loop and making noise as they pass through the pump which is contained in the CPU block here and I think that pretty much covers it thank you for check checking out this unboxing and First Look video at the Zan cnps 20 lq don't forget to subscribe to lus Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and
