Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Candra ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect product for any user!

I bought it, installed it yesterday, it took quite a while. With the analysis and collection of the entire computer, it took probably more than an hour. The paws that press the cooler to the bottom plate are shown in the instructions as bent, but in real life they are even, they bend like springs. And pretty tough. It is difficult to put on the screws, it is scary that something will burst, but the board did not seem to bend, thanks to the powerful plate at the back. The height of the cooler just entered. Processor Phemom II X4 965, the case is quite old, not very well adapted for different quirks. There was a rather old cooler, albeit with heat pipes. The idle temperature was around 53-55. With new fan 32-34. Under load it was 65-70 easily, now it is in the range of 40-45. At the same time, it is not audible, now all the other coolers are audible. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase, now I will not even change the case. Yes, you can put a second fan on the radiator for through blowing, but with such temperature indicators, it is not necessary yet.

Pros
  • Quiet, efficient, sane instructions, albeit in English. Reasonable (for me) price.
Cons
  • Saved thermal paste, barely enough to smear. It is also not clear what to smear, even with a finger, and it is thick. Hell fixture. I practically closed one of the memory slots, I doubt that even a low-profile module will fit there.

Some pros: Fits well and dissipates heat well. Cons: The fan turns well, but not quiet, even with a resistor it makes a hum. I had to replace.

Pros: Cools well, reasonable price. Some cons: The stock cooler is noisy at high speeds.
