i was looking to put the zalman aio in my prodigy pc to silence it a little more than the stock cooler and since linus unboxed it and said that said he would give us a review the i might buy it but since he never did i figured i'd ask on the forum. for the price though i might as well get an h100i but i've had problems with the leds failing and the fan controller making my fans grind so i was looking into something new if any of you have had any experience with this compared to an h100i please tell me. but remember i am looking to silence my build a little more so if it is loud let me know 

 

in case you dont know which one i am talking about it is this one:

Just get a corsair hydro series and replace the stock fan(s). The stock fans are loud and not that good.

TTL and Linus both did an unboxing, said a review was coming URGENTLY...

Never happened.

AFAIK - No reviews AT ALL are out....

 

 

Talk about making their customers hold out even longer....or change their damn mind.... bad for business much?

There may or may not be benchmarks from a trusted source coming very soon. I would wait for those.

 

I can tell you the min RPM on that zalman cooler is 1100 RPM which is quite high and you can't change the fans.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

I have not seen a single review of this cooler anywhere, so I cannot recommend it. You will probably be better off with an air cooler, and using the money you saved to buy good, quiet fans.

 

@LinusTech can you tell us what happened to that "upcoming" review?

dang.... i will just wait until i decide to see if a review is up but i was hoping post my build log as soon as i got it 

@Ghost do you know if the low noise adapters that comes with noctua's fans are compatible with this or does it do more harm than good like with the h220 fans
