ZALMAN TNN 500AF manual CPU Heatpipes, VGA Card Heatpipes, Northbridge Heatpipe

Heat Transfer via Heatpipes

Virtually ever-lasting heatpipes transfer heat away from the CPU, VGA chipset, and Northbridge chipset preventing system crashes due to over heating.

-CPU Heatpipes

Heat from the CPU is transferred to the heatsink plate through 6 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in diameter. The six heatpipes can transfer up to 150W of heat from the CPU - sufficient for the hottest CPUs on the market. The CPU Block Base is made of pure copper to ensure the highest cooling performance.

-VGA Card Heatpipes

Heat from the VGA Card is transferred to the heatsink plate through 3 heatpipes each 6 millimeters in diameter. The three heatpipes can transfer up to 75W of heat from the VGA chipset - sufficient for the hottest VGA cards on the market.

- Northbridge Heatpipe

Heat from the Northbridge chipset is transferred to the heatsink plate through a single heatpipe, 5 millimeters in diameter. This heatpipe can transfer up to 20W of heat.

Heat Transfer via Rear-mount Thermal Blocks

When the Rear-mount Thermal Blocks are installed on the back-side of the motherboard in line with the position of the FETs (Field Effect Transistor) and the Northbridge chipset, each can lower the FET temperature by 10 to 30 and the Northbridge chipset by 5 to 10 .
