Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Mateusz Rzeczycki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I put it on Phenom 2 945 95W 3.0Ghz. I did not try to overclock, because. and so it reveals 100% of my 4890. If you change the video card in the future, overclocking will be needed. And so to the point: On a boxed cooler 40s idle without load. When playing The Witcher, GTA 4 warmed up to 60-65s. What did the noise take place, despite the 2 operation of two 120mm case valves. With Zalman: 31-32 in idle, 38-39 in load in the same games. Moreover, it is not audible at all. By the way, I also cooled the motherboard radiator, which is important for me. 45s idle time and 55s load in games. Now 40s idle time and 45s load. Oh yes. There is a resistor in the kit for the cooler to work in quiet mode (maximum 1300 rpm). I immediately put it without a resistor for max. cooling, because. summer, heat, etc. In general, absolutely satisfied. Strongly recommended for purchase. Maybe someone will be interested: I overclocked the CPU to 3650 MHz (1.37v, 2400 MHz NB). In idle, the temperature did not change. After ping the stress test for stability, the S&M warmed up to 45-46s. Air temperature 28-30c in the shade. In games, almost the same 39-40s remained after overclocking. I didn’t even try to overclock on the box in such heat :)

Pros
  • Superior cooling. Definitely the best choice under $80 for its price. Silence.
Cons
  • It took a little fiddling with the installation. But if you follow the instructions, you'll be fine!
