Review on Zalman Performa Performance Powerful Included by Eunu ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

The purchase has more than satisfied my expectations. Taken for 1,400, and an additional payment of 350 was made for the second Scythe fan. A structure like this one is ideal for me and provides me with reassurance. With fan speeds of approximately 800, an unoverclocked Phenom II X4 955 may maintain a temperature of between 34 and 35 degrees Celsius when operating in idle or office mode, respectively. After thirty to forty minutes of gameplay, the temperature in the game (FEAR2) remains between forty-five and forty-six degrees. A packed cooler had been there for the previous three weeks before that. And after all that, it was one heck of a cooker. There is simply no way to compare the two. In office mode, a temperature of forty degrees was only a pipe dream (at the same time, the number of rotations of the fan was less than three thousand; at forty-five degrees, the fan shrieked like a butchered pig and had more than four thousand revolutions). Typically, 42-47 degrees (47 degrees even while the engine is not running could work:)). After loading the game videos and the actual game, the temperature in FEAR2 was 55 degrees, and the fan noise was similar to the noise produced by an aircraft turbine. The number of revolutions was greater than 6600 (!) revolutions per minute. In general, a supercooler that comes at a very affordable price. The cooler had been chosen for a very long time, almost a month, before I found this alternative; I would even go so far as to claim that it is the best in its price category up until at least the year 2022. Installation is the only stage at which issues can arise, but if you are successful in installing it, you will be rewarded with a calm environment and effective cooling. Good luck.

Pros
  • 1. The box that the cooler is packaged in is both attractive and secure. Nothing shook or rattled when the table was tilted and shaken. Unless you were able to discern the sound of a bag of fasteners. 2. Mounts for all contemporary and non-contemporary processors. The availability of anti-vibration pads and mounting brackets not only for the conventional fan but also for a potential additional fan in the future. 3. a 120mm fan with a PWM control and an RC24P adapter, which brings the noise level down from 17-36 dB to 17-24 dB and allows you to run the fan at a lower speed. Although in theory my fan has not yet been spinning at speeds higher than 1000 revolutions per minute, it is quite effective (however, I also paired it with a Slip Stream 120 PWM). 4. The cooler is comprised of five copper heat pipes in the shape of a U, and these heat pipes are directly soldered to the base. The possibility exists to attach a second cooler so that it can be blown. Fits midi towers 180mm wide. 5. The cost is extremely reasonable. Why one would pay an additional nine hundred dollars for the Extreme edition is beyond my comprehension. The coolers are essentially the same. Performa has a smaller footprint and is not as aesthetically pleasing (but what difference does it make if the case is covered with an opaque wall).
Cons
  • 1. A screwdriver, which is required for attaching the cooler to the motherboard, is not included in the package. As a result, you should get a screwdriver ready in advance. 2. A thick thermal paste that is difficult to spread and, once more, possesses no observable properties. The package does not contain anything even remotely similar to what you describe. Paper has a difficult time spreading the paste, not to mention one's finger, which simply becomes covered in the substance.
