Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Goro Suzuki ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

Apparently, you will have to buy a separate fan with a larger range of speed control, put it behind the radiator to blow it out, and hide the regular one to hell. With its pros. Pretty low weight by today's standards. Good fastening, the cooler is fastened with 4 screws to the backplate, and it is impossible to overtighten or undertighten, the screws enter the bushings and abut against them when tightening, so the tightening force will be adjusted. Cools well for a reasonable price. I installed it on Socket 1155 quite easily without removing the motherboard, the window in the chassis of the case rocks! Cons: Perhaps this applies to my copy, but the top plate dangles very freely on the heat pipes, it is poorly pressed. The fan covers the 2 front RAM slots on my Asrock Z68 Extreme3 ​​Gen3 board, full size memory won't do, low profile will do. The fan cannot be rearranged without disturbing the air circulation in the case, because Ears for fastening it has only one side. The fan itself is somewhat noisy and even with a resistor rotates at a speed of about 1200 rpm, which is excessive, the speed control range is not wide enough. A truly quiet computer with a standard fan will not work.
