The 120mm PWM fan at the center of the CNPS14X spins at 1350-950RPM and draws power from a single 4-pin motherboard fan header. Each of the six, 6mm diameter copper heatpipes are soldered to the copper base plate and extend from the base up to the top of the twin towered, 157mm tall heatsink. Each aluminum fin measures 0.4mm thick and is spaced ~2.0mm apart.

The fin stacks are 140mm wide, 48mm deep and the first fin is elevated 40mm above the CPU socket. Heat pipes are positioned side-by-side at the base plate and rise up through the fins on a 10mm pitch. The base incorporates a 5-2mm thick copper base plate.

The usable area of Zalman's CNPS14X copper base plate is 34x35mm. Looking from the top down we can see the center 120mm PWM fan, the black plastic support which joins the two fin towers together and the two rows of copper heatpipes.
