Zalman FX100

Zitat: When compared to traditional air coolers, there´s no question that Zalman´s FX100 is poor value for money. Noctua´s monstrous NH-D14 , for example, costs £15 less but knocks 24°C off the FX100´s delta T value for our LGA1155 overclocked rig, even with its fans running at their ultra quiet low speed. For just a few extra quid than the cost of Zalman´s cooler, you could also net yourself Corsair´s H80i , which is a cinch to install and produces excellent temperatures, even with its fans running quietly too. Quiet isn´t silent though, and that´s naturally where the FX100 stands out, and the fact that it´s able to (just) cope with our overclocked CPU is impressive. Naturally, we´d still recommend an air or liquid cooler if you´re overclocking, particularly if you´re running a hotter Ivy Bridge LGA1155 CPU. At the end of the day, it does what it says it can, as the FX100 can cool a high end CPU with no moving parts and no noise (and less dust accumulation as a result). It serves a tiny market, but it´s able to outperform costlier competition from NoFan and has less clearance issues too, so if silence is your highest priority, it´s certainly worth a look. We´d still prefer an ultra quiet cooler like the NH-D14, however, as its temperatures are far healthier.
