4. Installation Requirements
CNPS11X Extreme CNPS11X Performa
1) Space Requirements
2) Air Guide Removal
3) Cooler Orientation
100 mm
137 mm
155 mm
The cooler’s installation requires an unobstructed space of 137mm(width),
100mm(length), and 155mm(height), with the CPU as a central reference point.
Please check if components such as ODDs and PSU protrude into the required space.
Air guides on enclosures must be removed before the cooler’s installation since
they protrude into the cooler’s required space.
As shown in the diagram below, it is recommended that the cooler be installed so that air
ows from the cooler toward the enclosure’s rear exhaust fan to be released.
※Recommended cooler orientation may differ according to the motherboard model.
