The red led business of the fan is subtle. It's actually quite small for watt cooling. The 'be quiet! The case may help with all the fans keeping the CPU temp down this low.
It is very quiet, love the design, and red LED is a nice addition. Cons: Seen some complaints on the install, there, black holding clips have to be installed with the bolt in them, and then slid onto the lower bracket, otherwise you will wonder why they did not provide long enough screws.
Once I got that right, and followed the same bolting pattern for the socket for my , it worked just fine. Not really any cons to speak of, just make sure you have a wide case, it stands over 6 inches high. Overall Review: I would use this fan again in another build, the only thing better that would be considered would be a liquid cooling solution.
Pros: Right, so I'm sure you're reading all of those "waaaah! It's so hard to 1nstallll! If you've never opened your pc case before then yes, this might be hard. It's a breeze. Mounted it on an i3 and my without issues. Further, she keeps it netflix and chill, never going above 38c on the fx with 4. Cons: Bit on the 'spensibe side, but water cooling is worse at this price point.
She did beat my old cooler master by up to 15c so you're getting what you pay for. Overall Review: Few parts can stand the test of time in the technocracy. This is the exception. Buy it now and bathe in the crimson light of the PC Master Race. Add to cart. Price Alert. Add To Wish List. Are you an E-Blast Insider? Get Educated. Thanks for your thoughts! As I said, I'm a noob at this. Googling for how much RAM to put in a build like this hasn't gotten me much more specific info than "more is better".
A friend advised me to put my money in RAM, and I figured, why not go all the way on that? But if it's a not necessary to have more than 12gb, and b just might cause me grief in dealing with the kinds of memory problems I've come across in some threads, then 12gb might just be the way to go.
Yep, i believe what your friend meant when he said "put my money in RAM" was "faster" rather than "bigger" but that depends on what mobo you have.
I have 12 gigs in my server because, its just that a server and running 3 OSes at once. Great -- I'll go with 12gb. V-Shaped Dual Heatsinks Two independent heatsinks are designed in a V-shape to minimize air resistance and optimize airflow, providing the best cooling performance. MLS Multi-layer Slit Fin The Slit fin optimized for movement reduces resistance of air flow and covers wider surface area for heat transfer, which allows maximized heat sink function.
Adjustable Fan Speed Included resistor cable RC56 adjusts input voltage, allowing user to control fan speed and noise. Tilt fin design Optimized the angle by tilting the fin, helps to increase the airflow , minimize the noise. Optimized heat dissipation structure Down blowing type design Through emitting the air straight from the fan to the mother board, it cools down not only the CPU but also the components around it.
The stock fan was tested at various voltages to represent a good cross-section of its airflow and noise performance. The tests were performed with a voltage controller, which is our standard procedure. Of course a Zalman CPU fan at 12V is a sonic force to be reckoned, creating a symphony of turbulence and whine that sounds like a swarm of tiny, very threatened bees. However, the fan droned and was very breezy with plenty of turbulence.
At 32 dBA it was still unacceptably loud. Our ears detected a bit of hum and whine, but the bulk of the noise was the result of turbulence. The noise level however was excellent at only 16 dBA. The fan exhibited a slight low-pitched hum, but other than that it was fairly smooth.
The cooler also passed some vibrations through the board to our testing platform. The amount of vibration varied depended on how much of the backplate made contact with the platform surface.
Properly installed in a case there should be enough clearance to make this a non-issue. It is also superior to the Thermaltake SpinQ. When the fan is undervolted to 5V it generates 16 dBA, the same noise level as our reference Nexus mm at 12V.
They represent a quick snapshot of what we heard during the review. These recordings are intended to give you an idea of how the product sounds in actual use — one meter is a reasonable typical distance between a computer or computer component and your ear. The recording contains stretches of ambient noise that you can use to judge the relative loudness of the subject.
The recording starts with 10 second segments of room ambience, then the fan at various levels. The CNPS fan, like others from Zalmans, is poor acoustically and spins far too fast for our liking. The large gap between the fan and the rest of the heatsink only exacerbates problem.
Continuing to recycle the same heatsink with various tweaks and tricks can only garner so much improvement. Yes, Zalman, your CNPS coolers were revolutionary — classic products on the cutting edge of silent computing.
For that, we thank you from the bottom of our silent hearts. Time to move on.
