Details

The FX70 falls at first glance, something conventional , and at first seems to be a classic representative of current Tower cooler . Six nickel-plated heatpipes blackish – silver project more than 16 cm in height and also wear a nickel-plated block of aluminum fins . However, from the incorporated Zalman details results in the special properties of the FX70 .
 
So it is striking that between the Fins a relatively large distance was allowed to let pass the existing housing in the airflow unobstructed. If the fin density is higher , you would have to use a fan, which ensures a sufficiently high static pressure so that the airflow passes through the heat sink.
 
If you look closely , also noticed that the slats are aligned slanted , in the inner region as well as on the front and back of each in the opposite direction . Zalman calls this arrangement Twist fin design and achieved in this changing orientation of a reinforcement of the natural Konvektionseffekts , after which heated air rises to the top.
 
Notes: As with all passive coolers is recommended necessarily an active ventilation of the case , which generates sufficient airflow to carry away the heat from the FX70 from the computer case .
 
For cooling of high-performance Intel processors for socket LGA2011 or LGA1366 and AMD CPUs with more than 80 watts TDP Zalman recommends only the use of one or two additional 120 mm fan , which produces clamps for attachment of a standard specimen with 25 mm frame depth in the delivery are included.
