Martin Nordén, one of many hard working co-workers here at NordicHardware, has taken a look at the Zalman ZM80C-HP cooler. Many of you might recognize this product name, as we have reviewed another version of this cooler before; the ZM80A-HP.
The ZM80C-HP is shortly both a passive and active cooler for graphics cards. A few differences between this “C” version and the earlier “A” version are that “C” is made of aluminium and facilitates installation of a 80mm fan.
“I must say that I was positively surprised by this product. Zalman has really thought about everything, it is compatible with most of the graphics cards and everything that you might need is enclosed. It also looks brutal and cool, not to speak about the performance that showed to be much better than the original fan. The installation went quite easy, although it was a bit tricky at some places. The heatpipe is great and doubles the total area which heat can dissipate from.”
