Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Jon Higdem

I received this "Zalman CNPS 10X Performa Black" to install on my i7-6700K+ Z170 platform which is rated at 95w tdp and consumes more power when overclocked. The CNPS 10X is one of the best air coolers I've ever used, even better than some of the more expensive ones. Here is an overview. Good: - Very good performance. I stress tested the CPU and saw a 5 degree improvement (from 67 to 62) over my old cooler that cost more. Installation is pretty easy and the instructions are clear. Considering the performance, I think this is very important. wallet-friendly with excellent value for money. - The fan uses a 4-pin PWM connector, so the speed/noise can be adjusted via the motherboard/software. - Support for Intel and AMD platforms. (I only tested on Intel as I don't have an am4 system.) Another opinion: - This cooler uses a non-standard 135mm fan, which is much larger than the 120mm CPU cooler , which I have. (See picture.) Conclusion: I really like the performance of this cooler and find it very valuable. Highly recommended. Thank you for reading this review and I hope you find it helpful.
