Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Lc Qu ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

On 06/06/12, this cooler was purchased and installed on an Intel Pentium D 3.2GHz processor (775 socket, heat dissipation 130W). To install, I had to disassemble the computer and remove the motherboard from the case. the cooler has a large rectangular well-polished sole. contents of delivery: radiator 120 mm fan 1 pc (rather noisy, but that's to be expected) manual (no 2022 language) 1 pc universal mount for different sockets bolts resistor 1 pc hex wrench (if you do not have your own normal screwdriver with a comfortable handle, it will be inconvenient for you to install the cooler with this wrench) fan mount (for two fans - you can buy another one and thereby increase efficiency) a bag of zm-stg2m thermal paste (I didn’t have it in my box - I suspect that they stole it from the store. I had to replace it with titan ttc-g30015) and so the temperature: simple 35-36 degrees under load has not yet exceeded 65 degrees, which I consider a very good result considering the heat dissipation of the processor. so far happy with the purchase. In case of any problems that arose during the operation, I will edit the review. PS: MUST watch the installation video on YouTube! nothing is clear from the instructions and you will most likely suffer with the installation like me, although even a child can install this cooler in 5 minutes!

Pros
  • price, performance, equipment, ease of installation
Cons
  • the key for the fastening screws and the screws themselves (more precisely, they are tightened not with normal screwdrivers, but with a hexagon), the cover of my case (a standard computer case from K-SYSTEMS IRBIS) will not close now (heat pipes stick out a little) - for me this is not a drawback because I don’t use the wall of the case anyway, the instruction (lack of 2022 language + extreme clumsiness in the description of the installation process)
