We are happy with the performance offered by the Zalman CNPS10X Performa Black CPU cooler. Versus a realistic, direct competitor in the low-noise, mid-range CPU cooler territory, Zalman's 135mm-class unit actually manages to outperform the be quiet! Shado...

Solid cooling performance, Visually appealing if you want a more subdued aesthetic, Asymmetrical design offers perfect memory and graphics card clearance, Very good build quality, No ARGB lighting, which is great for those who see it as a gimmick

Abstract: As for Zalman CNPS10X Performa, we totally admire it. In fact, this product has only one drawback: unbalanced fan with “floating” noise level. It is up to you to decide how significant this issue is for your particular case, but it won’t be a problem to pair a 44.90-dollar cooler (which is an unusually low price for..
Affordable, Build Quality, Excellent Performance for a Cheap Cooler, Very Quiet, Not too big
Installation is a little more involved than other coolers, Availability
The Zalman CNPS10X Performa surprised me with its performance regardless of its cheap price tag. Even with less surface area and lighter materials, the Performa is still a very well made cooler for the money. Throughout the reviewing and testing, the...
Excellent Cooling, Dual Fan Capability Included, PWM Fan, Great price point,
None, Gold
