Looking for a great CPU cooler that won't empty your wallet? The CNPS 10X Performa by Zalman fits the bill nicely
The Zalman CNPS10X Performa features a tower type aluminum heatsink fin configuration with a solid copper base. The heatsink fins are linked to the base via five copper heatpipes. The unit includes one 120mm fan and has hooks to add a second.
Installation is a bit complex due to the multiple types of mounting brackets included, but once in place, the Performa remains mounted solidly. This cooler easily bested our stock Core i7 fan, keeping our rig well withing temp limits.
If you want a great cooler that works well, but is in the $40 range, the the Performa is for you.
