Zalman CNPS 5X Performa PURECOPPER/ALU 92MM Fan CPU Cooler LGA1156 1155 1366 775 AM3 AM2 FM1
Cons:Mounting hardware are just simple clips, which seems okay for the light weight of this cooler. Would have preferred better hardware to make sure it's all secure.
Pros:Quiet. Lightweight. Clears RAM (Corsair Vengeance with tall heat spreaders). Cheap. Comment:
Dropped my idle temps from 40 to 35c, and load temps from 60c to 50c (ambient temps around 26c). Noise is bearable if using a fan controller or PWM control. At full speed it is fairly audible but not annoying nor does it drown out conversations or music.Installs easily without having to remove motherboard. Retention bracket is made of plastic and can wear out if you remove the heatsink repeatedly.Annoying that the retention bracket covers the CPU socket lever - you have to remove the bracket in order to access your CPU socket. But a minor gripe.Running Intel Core i7 860.For the price it's a no-brainer. Get it. |

Zalman CNPS 5X Performa PURECOPPER/ALU 92MM Fan CPU Cooler LGA1156 1155 1366 775 AM3 AM2 FM1
Cons:Peut devenir assez bruyant à pleine vitesse.
Pros:Pas cher.Bonne qualité de fabrication.Bon système de montage autant pour Intel que AMD.Assez silencieux.Efficace malgré ses petites dimentions. Comment:
J'ai acheté ce refroisdisseur pour remplacer le HSF stock sur mon i3-2120 qui était bien trop bruyant. Pour le prix payé c'est un bon refroidisseur et il est capable de plus et pourrait être utilisé sur les processeur i5 sans problèmes. |

Cons:None
Pros:Great PerformanceRelatively QuietEasy to MountAffordable Comment:
Just bought this heatsink for my Core i5 2500K j 4.2GHz and I've seen a drop of 20C on load which is pretty significant for a heatsink at this price range.. I'd highly recommend getting this.. |

Cons:variable fan speed noisetricky to install inside the case
Pros:quietnarrow (doesn't hang over the memory)short (for a fin stack type)pushes air towards rear Comment:
Originally I was just looking for a quiet fan to replace one which was getting noisy, then I saw this for only a few dollars more. Even if this fan, which is not replaceable, wears out down the road, it won't be expensive to just buy another one of these.I don't do any overclocking so I don't need anything bigger. The heat transfers up the stack efficiently as evidenced by the warmth of the upper fins.While the fan is fairly quiet, the fact that the speed fluctuates up and down as needed brings the noise to your attention. I would have been happier if it was limited to 3 or 4 discrete rotational speeds.For the price, it earns the full 5 stars.I ordered a second one yesterday :) |
Actually quite disappointed in purchase...photo #2 shows a smooth all copper base to this cooler...when I received mine it has three roughly flattened copper heat pipes embedded into an aluminum block. Forget about lapping it to a smooth surface..the differential between the copper and aluminum surfaces is unreal...wish I had bought something else, but was misled by photo on NCIX.
