We have to give kudos to Zalman for at least trying something different in a largely stagnant market. While the Reserator 3 Max's design does bring about its own issues (such as difficulty replacing the attached fan), it's more interesting and...

Innovation in the closed loop liquid CPU cooler market is rare, with a sea of black lookalike units available from as low as £40 to just over £100. At £95, then, Zalman's new Reserator 3 Max tips the scale as one of the most expensive available, which...

The Zalman Reserator 3 MAX is an interesting cooler in the sense of its design, the actual benefits and implementation however are below par. So if you stick to a Core i7 processor and don't plan to overclock, then it's all good. The second you start to...

Last week we looked at of four all-in-one water coolers and found the performance results were quite similar, as were the coolers. With this thought, and some comments made, we started to wonder how similar the coolers really were. Remember, mom always...

It is no secret that Intel's new 4th generation Core ‘Haswell' processors run a tad warm and that most enthusiasts are looking for better cooling solution for their system. Most will go with traditional air cooling, where a few will want to move up to...

With nearly 15 years in the business, Zalman have built themselves quite the reputation. They have a loyal following thanks to their high build quality and innovative designs. I must admit, Zalman may not be the first brand that spring to mind when your...

Four new closed-loop liquid coolers seek to improve thermal performance in a number of ways. We certainly understand the benefits of these configurations, but can they out-do the reigning air-cooling champion, Noctua's NH-D14? Check out our benchmarks. ...

The performance is fairly good on this unit, the only major thing is the noise that bothers me. The fan is just a tad too loud and the pump makes too much noise for a watercooling setup. Installation was quite easy and straightforward and if you have...

Zalman ha colto nel segno, discostandosi in modo considerevole dalle controparti, creando un prodotto dal design unico e dalle prestazioni elevate. Nonostante l'estetica di un prodotto sia in gran parte soggettiva, crediamo che il Reserator 3 MAX, con...
