The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Excellent cooler, cools my i5 2500k by 5. In idle 33, under load no more than 55. Here I suffered with the installation, to be honest, I fiddled around, then there was not enough thermal paste, then I smeared it wrong, then I didn’t twist it to the end - always when I turned on the computer, the CPU Over Temperature Error came out (I warmed up to 86 degrees, and that’s it), although I set on the removed mother, but still it didn’t work out that way, because my hands are growing ahem . Well…

Pros
  • Cools perfectly; Quiet; Not difficult to install; You can install a second valve; The coverage is very even; 5 copper tubes; Mounting on multiple sockets.
Cons
  • Well, the thermal paste in the bag was not enough, I had it all on my fingers until I squeezed it out :D

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

I took it to a friend a long time ago, then he left a good impression, now he was collecting a server for work, he decided to take it. The base was hardly polished at all, the fan makes a disgusting sound, it was bought by bank transfer for a large amount, so it’s not an option to bother with an exchange. - After a while, it stopped "rattling", I think it developed.

Pros
  • Relatively cheap for its features
Cons
  • Mediocre base polishing, defective fan.

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

In general, a good cooler, it cools well - and this is its main task. good for overclocking. I took for 1100 kopecks - he costs his money for all 100! It’s worth taking the current, not all cases will fit, so be careful. Different pros: good cooler. idle temp ~30 degrees. under load 50-52 degrees on the intel core i7-860, while it overclocked to 200 MHz: = D! thermal grease from the kit. and this is in such a heat in the summer! With its cons. inconvenient installation. the fasteners from the…

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The alarmists, who are stunned by the installation of this cooler on AMD, are surprised. A little physical strength solves the problem (even your girlfriend can handle it. Although who are we kidding - if you read reviews about a cooler for 900, then you probably don't have it). Verdict: for non-fanatic overclocking it is quite suitable. With its pros. Phenom x955 overclocked to 4.1 Hz under a voltage of 1.44 keeps stable within 52 degrees (meaning the common CPU. The cores are individually…

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Installation is simple if you prepare a comfortable workspace on the table in advance. The main thing is not to overtighten the bolts so as not to strip the thread, I advise you to periodically turn the motherboard over and see how deep they go into the nuts. In my copy, the bolts are for a Phillips screwdriver, and not for a hex. In some reviews they wrote that a stub square is not needed (for Intel) - in my motherboard there is no way without it, the contacts stick out too much from it, it's

Pros
  • Price, quiet propeller up to 1000 rpm, good result.
Cons
  • I got a kit that comes without a resistor.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Great cooler. I bought it for socket 1150. I got up with a bang. There are no problems with fastening and I don’t even know where people have problems with this. The cooler is quiet, the stone is cold. The speed controller is missing. Even the presence of a resistor in the kit does not save the situation. I would like to be able to vary the speed from 900 to 2022, and not either 1350 or 2022.

Pros
  • Cools well
Cons
  • No speed controller

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

It was once a bargain at a price of less than 900, which is why it gained fame. Thermal paste lives 1-2 years, you should not forget to replace it. The stock cooler is too loud, for quiet systems you can change it to the budget Cooler Master O4-P2B-12AK-GP (you will have to modify it a little with a hacksaw) or the eminent Noctua NF-S12A PWM, both are inaudible up to 800 rpm with acceptable cooling. Mounting is not particularly difficult, but if you plan to shoot more than once every couple of

Pros
  • 5 heat pipes Solid copper sole A good thermal paste is included, you can apply a drop in the center of the processor cover, when pulled, it will be evenly distributed
Cons
  • Loud bearing in fan Inconvenient hex screws and wrench included

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I took an AMD FX 8230 box cooler to replace it. It became noticeably quieter. Temperature at 25 C in the room: idle - 35 C, load - 42-48 C. I have not tried to overclock yet, but I think there is a margin for overclocking. I had to suffer with the installation: remove the motherboard, remove the original cooler pad, install the one that came with the cooler, and the most difficult thing was to screw the cooler to this pad. The kit comes with a small briquette of thermal paste, it was not enough

Pros
  • Efficient, quiet.
Cons
  • Installation of this cooler will require some skills, the cooler comes with a little thermal paste.

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

It has been working for 10 (!) years. First, it cooled the Core i5-2500K overclocked to 4.3 GHz, now it cools the i5-7600K without overclocking (4.2 GHz in turbo boost). The acceleration of this processor is no longer pulling, even insignificant, it can not cope with the heat sink. But here we must take into account the relatively cramped case and the closely spaced hot GTX1070.

Pros
  • Appearance, reliability, well dissipates heat.
Cons
  • Poorly designed mount. Moreover, both the cooler itself to the motherboard, and the fans to the radiator. In the case, changing the fan is generally hell, these thin metal brackets all the time strive to jump out of the holes. But outside the case, mounting fans does not cause problems.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Core 2 quad q8200(@2625MHz) temperature of cores in load 45-48С (S&M, LinX, AIDA64 extreme) With an open lid, 25С in the room, plus a gtx480 stove nearby. In idle time 30-34 (With the cooler turned off, it jumped to 42 for one core and the same 30-34 were installed again, did not load: D). One 120mm cooler on the back cover (blowing). Chieftec Midi Tower. Its pros: Compatible with different sockets. Bolt fastening. No noise at 1500RPM (of course noticeable at 2K) Got cons: It turned out to put…

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I took the cooler to order, it cost me only 1172, at that time it was practically the only offer for this money, I am very pleased with everything neatly done and packaged, it now works in silent mode 970-1000 rpm, the noise is almost inaudible on the general background, without modifications, even outperforms the extreme version, which cost almost 2 times more, in general, Zalman, that says it all.

Pros
  • One of the best price / cooling offers, I considered more expensive and multi-platform coolers (for cooling an overclocked processor) so as not to change everything en masse during the transition, it does its job perfectly.
Cons
  • Not all cases are compatible when the cooler is oriented with a fan to the back wall, my invin did not fit the PSU, I had to deploy the fan to the PSU, there is perhaps only one way out, a good case.

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

I attached a second exhaust valve to this cooler, oddly enough it works, because with one fan 3-4 degrees more! As a result, Q9650 / 1.35V / 4GHz = t 35 in idle, no higher than 62 under load and at the same time the fan speed is 1000 rpm. It's not very bad in my opinion. In general, there are coolers that are not worse, for example, from Scythe, but again they are more expensive.

Pros
  • High efficiency for not big money (for coolers of this class).
Cons
  • Yes, they don’t exist in principle, it’s big, of course, but you can’t get away from it.

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

Transferred from Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 to new Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell. And so the old one froze with overclocking by 30%, it was possible not to turn on the cooler. with the new i7-4770K, when overclocked to 4.5MHz in the AIDA64 program, the temperature rose to 70 degrees during the stress test. idle 28 degrees indoors 22-23 degrees. I was lucky with the processor, it turned out to be cold, some of the 4770Ks do not overclock to 4.5MHz with super-duper coolers like the Thermalright…

Pros
  • Price, weight, effective.
Cons
  • I have no.

I bought a Hyper TX3 cooler to replace the master. The cooler master is not dead. The noise was simply unbearable. After 2 hours of computer operation, it barely maintained the temperature at 40 degrees at 2200 rpm and it felt like a rocket test room. I read a couple of dozen reviews, several articles and settled on Performa. I tell you: Installation took me at least an hour and a half. I had to completely clean the mother, pull it out of the case and pretty much tinker to screw this cooler to…

Pros
  • Excellent cooling. Great price!
Cons
  • The setup is disgusting!

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Stands on 3770k, overclocked to 4.2 GHz, not scalped. Linx AVX warmed it up to 80. Without load, the temperature is usually 30-35, when all the cores are fully loaded with something like lightroom, up to 60-70. The cooler at first just put pressure on the brain with its noise, I thought I would not stand it and buy noctua for 1k. I put silent mode in the BIOS, it became better. Either the grease in it smeared after a while, or I got used to it, but now I don’t notice it anymore. Only when…

Pros
  • Normally cools a moderately overclocked processor Screws, not plastic latches
Cons
  • Noisy standard cooler at high speeds

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Cools my quite hot intel haswell very well. For Haswell, as it turned out, boxed coolers are no longer enough; they heat up under full load at 90 degrees. With Zalman at minimum speed no higher than 50 degrees. Brilliant result. With minimum speed, it is suitable for both i7 and amd 8320 without uber overclocking to 4.4-4.7Hz. If you remove the resistor, then the noise will still be minimal.

Pros
  • Lots of copper pipes and a great radiator. Complete resistor for speed reduction! You do not need an expensive gaming motherboard for such a simple function. Silence and excellent cooling are provided!
Cons
  • Hex bolts frayed nerves. Without a screwdriver with a complete key, this is not easy.

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

To be honest, after a careful examination and reading the instructions, it was decided to take (among other components) to a specialist, so that the installation would be successful b / m. It's about the problematic installation. The specialist grumbled that such coolers reduce the life of the processor - O_O, O_o?! But it is still premature to make such a diagnosis. In the rest, it suits very, very well.

Pros
  • Quiet. Cools the 3570k well. Acceptable price.
Cons
  • Not seen yet, other than, well, not a small size. You can't put a second fan - it won't fit into the case :(

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

A good cooler that perfectly cools the percent. Someone wrote that the standard fan is noisy, but this is not noticeable in my system. I have three fans on the vidyahe buzzing quite audibly. When I bought it, I thought that it would not fit my mother, but there were several mounts for different sockets in the kit, so there were no problems. The kit also comes with Zalman's proprietary thermal paste and a sticker on the case. I took it three years ago at a discount for 900, but now I got excited

Pros
  • Does its job perfectly. He even approached my old mother.
Cons
  • Installation requires patience.

The perfect product for any user!

Has pros: I bought a boxed intel i5 3.0 After assembly with a native cooler, the temperature in the BIOS is 66 degrees with a maximum working of 72, which of course did not please me. (a survey of friends confirmed that this is normal for boxed coolers with such a percentage). Well, yes, it’s probably normal for Word and the browser, but I want 3D toys :) I chose this model as a replacement. For a long time I have not been pleased with anything like this cooler. The guys in the zalman know ho

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

This cooler cools the Core i5 2500K overclocked from 3.3 GHz to 4.6 GHz. The temperature is not higher than 70 degrees in the LinX test, which loads the processor to the maximum. With the BOX cooler, it heated up to 100 degrees. These are temperatures at 4.6 GHz. V_Core - by default. In idle time it freezes, about 26-28 degrees. :)) Who cares about the results of the cooler at the standard processor frequency - 3.3 GHz, then with the native BOX cooler it warmed up to 85 degrees at boot, with…

Pros
  • Excellent cooling Low noise Huge radiator Possibility to install 2 fans Price - for this money this is a generosity from the manufacturer
Cons
  • Be careful who has a large fan on the side cover of the case, for example, due to the high height of the Zalman radiator, the cover simply did not close without a little intervention. I had to grind off the mountings of this case fan a little (5 minutes of time). My case is not small and not so simple - Aerocool Vx-e Pro LE
