Three months after we tested the CNPS9900 MAX cooler from Zalman TechCo, Ltd., the Korean company rolls out its new product which is named CNPS11X Extreme. It is neither a continuation nor a development of any existing product series as you can infer from its model name. It is positioned by the company into a category of its own in terms of cooling performance and price. To be more specific, Zalman claims the CNPS11X Extreme to be the ultimate and compromise-free cooler which is more efficient and more expensive than anything the company has ever produced over its 12-year-long history. Let’s see if this cooler can really impress us with its performance.
