Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Mateusz Wysokiski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

When encoding video with an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor running at 3315 MHz and cooled using a basic system from AMD rated at 125 watts, the temperature reached an unacceptably high 62 degrees. At constant maximum load, the temperature barely rises beyond 50 degrees with this cooling system. I didn't waste any time and switched out the branded fan for an Arctic Cooling F12 PWM model. Silence! Installation went off without a hitch, although you will need to take out the circuit board. Just having one person write the key is not sufficient; another person is required to have hands. Incorrect; he added one; the key had sufficient length. The only part that has to be broader is the casing, and the memory slots can overlap. After I had finished installing this cooling system, I removed the additional cooler from the chipset, which was also one that I had previously installed. Very happy, although if you want silence, the fan that comes with the furnace needs to be turned off.

Pros
  • Wonderfully calming
Cons
  • native fan
