Thread: The Zelman, or in general

In common, would a CPU cooler's performance decrease if the copper is nickel coated? Would the Zelman CNPS9900 LEDa make a good combo Silverstone raven rv02, since the fans are blowing the same way?

The simple cause of why I asked the first question is the looks way nicer, but I am not so sure about the performance if its worse, then ill just go with the regular version.

In universal, would a microchip is cooler's presentation decrease if the copper is nickel coated? Would the Zelman make a good combo Silverstone raven rv02, since the fans are blowing the same way?

The simply cause why I asked the foremost query is the looks way nicer, but I am not so sure about the performance if its worse, then ill just go with the usual description.

Why are you being paid a Zelman in the primary rest they suck that's the truth, get the core contact freezer. Check out this. Zelman coolers do not suck. Heck, for the longest time, Zelman coolers. According to that chart the V8 scored well, but as I keep in mind in THW tests it didn't perform well. I am glad to see my towards the top. Pretty impressive for a 30+ dollar cooler but it did take some work to get it there, I by now had the extra 120mm fans on hand so they're not built-in in the price, but that is a factor too.

Any person lapping a HDT kind of cooler, you improved knows what you're doing and when to stop or you can cut the copper pipe walls too thin.

Nickel plating does not reduce presentation. Nevertheless, the Heat pipe Direct Touch feature of some coolers does provide some minimal cooling performance. Case in point, the Scythe Mugen 2 has a nickel coating and it is one of the better performing coolers in the range.

Now my variation stuck between nickels coated CPU cooler and a non-nickel coated computer chip cooler will not, in the big picture, make that much difference to the enthusiast over clocker. If you plan on extreme OC'ing you would be better off with water cooling anyhow. Also, there are many other factors like the brand and type of TIM, ambient temps, and case airflow that effect how well a CPU cooler performs. You can have the best CPU cooler in the world but poor case airflow and high ambient temps and it won't make a difference.

Do you want performance or looks?

Almost any OEM cooler will be decent and outperform the stock cooler. The Zelman should be ok but, the Zelman will not be in the top 10 from a performance point of view.
Read this comparison article which uses the same fan to compare coolers. The Zelman has an integrated fan which is a negative from my point of view it start.

To reply the creative query, copper is a very good conductor, and a thin zinc coating should not have a negative effect. It is helpful to resist copper corrosion.

My attention was attractive unique is as pretty does If you are over clocking, there's no point buying the "looks" cooler because it sucks and it typically costs more. When the core makes contact with freezer is only after rebate it pretty much kills the competition. A "looks" cooler is usually above and has performance less than cooler. In the end, it's pretty sad.

Essentially both the make contact with freezer and shadowy knight are so close in stock performance it doesn't matter which one you go with as far as the OP is concerned he just needs to decide what he's actually after looks or performance. Well since the OP appears to be MIA.

Even though the Zelman he scheduled looks good it is far from the best performer and the already listed review tests prove that.

However its limitations should be the biggest negative in even considering investing money in it and I'm speaking of the internally mounted Zelman specific fan, it completely kills your fan swap choice options.

Zelman is finally stepping away from that looped heat pipe idea with their recent release of the CNPS10X Extreme, but they are unfortunately presently way behind the performance 8 ball.

If I was intending to spend the Zelman’s cost range in money I'd be getting the Thermal right 120 Extreme with 2 120mm fans, however it would be a lot cheaper to go with either the CCF or the Xiggy HDT line.

I have a Xiggy the novel S-1283 cooling my system, however it certainly isn't stock as far as Xigmatek is worried, the heat sink base has been lapped and she is sporting 2 120mm fans one as intake one as exhaust, those modds increased the cooling performance by 10C.
