Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Li Kai ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I bought this miracle yesterday, put it on AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE (did not drive the percentage) instead of box silence and calmness. I got into the case 180 mm calmly, about 1 cm remained. As for the temperatures on the box. cooler was idle 30-32 degrees. in loads: in games for about 2 hours and in the AIDA64 stress test for about 1 hour it reached 55 degrees. on this Zalman, completely different values ​​​​in idle time 25-27 degrees. in loads: games and stress test AIDA 64 did not rise above 40 degrees for 2 hours. This is at 1950 rpm. in min. while the room temperature was 30 degrees. It's a bit noisy at these speeds, but tolerable. Having lowered the speed by setting in the BIOS: set Q-Fan Speed ​​Fan to ignore the cooler speed and set it to Q-Fan Mode - Performance is now from 800 to 2022 rpm. in min. depending on the temperature of the processor. After this setting: idle - 27 deg. in the same loads - up to 45 degrees at cooler speeds up to 1300 rpm. in min. saw no more. Let's see what happens in the summer! The temperature was measured by the cores because on the cover of the processor. My temperature is always 2-5 degrees. less in load. COOLER INSTALLATION: The motherboard on some cases must be removed, but this is not a problem, I removed it at the same time and cleaned it of dust. The cooler mounting plates were not bent, although the instructions show that they are bent, I tried to put them with even plates. I tightened one bolt on the first plate, then pushed the second plate on the other side - twisted 2 bolts - diagonally and so on, pressed all the bolts to the end, nothing complicated (the plates themselves sagged a little, but everything is in order), the key and the bolts did not stick together , the campaign was a normal assembly. So that you can put with even plates. I installed such a cooler for the first time, the installation took about 30 minutes, look carefully at the instructions, if there is no YouTube to help you. I advise everyone! Get it, you won't regret it, especially for the price.

Pros
  • One +++++
Cons
  • For me they are not.
