I chose the cooler for a very long time. For I changed the platform from AM2 to S1155 and the main criterion was the height of the cooler. The case remained regular and, according to estimates above 160 mm, nothing would have fit there. After reading the reviews on the CNPS line, I chose the Zalman CNPS10X Performa. Prior to that, I installed case valves from Zalman in all sold computers - they really liked the low noise level. This SO was no exception. I put it on the motherboard for a long time, because the paper instructions, and the video on the site does not give a complete picture about the installation of plastic washers under the mounting legs. Through brainstorming, the correct sequence was found. Prots smeared KPT-8, just there was no other at hand. I successfully lost the paste from the kit. I did not install a resistor, although it is quieter with it, but the fan does not always start. So, in a stress test on the i5-2500K, after overclocking from 3.3 MHz to 4.1 MHz and an hour and a half of load, it shows a stable temperature of 46 degrees. No load 42-44. There is only one valve. He refused the second, because one is more than enough. Summary: I give the cooler 5+, it is especially suitable for those who have a narrow case, because the main height of the tower cooler is about 200 mm, this one is 160.
