With several different CPU socket types currently on the market, it may be
difficult to right a decent third-party heatsink that will meet a power
user's overclocking and cooling needs. While there are numerous cooling
solutions available, Zalman's CNPS10X Extreme might be one to consider with
its support for LGA 1156, 1366, 775, AM3, and AM2+. They also threw in a
removable fan controller that can be mounted outside of the case. Let's see
if this heatsink can take the air cooling crown away from its older brother
the CNPS9900 LED.

Quote: "This heatsink exceeded our expectations and its universal
compatibility will make it even more appealing to high-end users and other
PC enthusiasts looking for a strong air cooled heatsink solution. The
layered fin array and black-pearl nickel plated coated definitely added to
its asthetics and overall craftsmanship. The unique fan controller is
definitely a staple for Zalman and one I'm sure they will continue to
produce in future heatsink products."
