The Zalman CNPS 11X Extreme has cool factor, there is no questioning that. You take it out of the box, and it definitely sparks curiosity and a “this thing is really cool” reaction. The shape is definitely different. The feel of it seems...

Zalman really has it going on with the new 11X Extreme. The five composite heatpipes and the innovative design allow its fan to provide some excellent cooling with very reasonable acoustics. Really, the only complaint I have about the 11X is the...

Man kan köpa den här CPU-kylaren för runt 50 $ vilket är ett skapligt pris eftersom Noctuas kylare kostar en hel del mer. 7X å andra sidan presterar utmärkt och eftersom man kan köpa den för 30 $ kan det vara...
