Zalman has silently introduced four new dual-tower CPU air coolers under its long-running CNPS series: the CNPS15X BP and CNPS12X BP, each available in standard and ARGB variants.

The flagship CNPS15X BP measures 126 x 135 x 159 mm and weighs 1,170 g. It employs six reverse direct-touch black-coated heat pipes, a 104-fin aluminium radiator with 9,997 cm² dissipation area, and is rated for 285 W TDP. Dual 120 mm ZM-XF120 fans operate at 600–2,000 RPM, delivering 71.14 CFM at up to 32.9 dB(A). RAM clearance is 44 mm standard, or 52 mm with the cut-out fin design.

The smaller CNPS12X BP measures 120 x 120 x 153 mm and weighs 750 g. It uses six nickel-plated copper heat pipes in a direct-touch design with a 260 W TDP rating. Its dual 120 mm fans spin at 800–1,800 RPM, achieving 74.62 CFM at 32.2 dB(A) — slightly quieter with higher airflow despite the lower TDP.

Both models include anti-vibration rubber dampers, an anti-bending reinforcement bridge, and support Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200/115X plus AMD AM5/AM4 sockets. Thermal compound (ZM-STC11 for CNPS15X, ZM-STC8 for CNPS12X) is bundled. Pricing and availability remain unannounced.
