Jet engine-inspired CPU cooler designed by Zalman now available in Korea for under $60, showcasing a captivating design.
Introducing the Zalman Zet5 CPU Cooler: A New Contender in High-Performance Air Cooling
The Zalman Zet5 CPU cooler, inspired by jet engine technology, has entered the market, promising strong cooling efficiency and relatively low noise levels compared to traditional air coolers.
The Zet5, with its turbine-style fan and heat dissipation design, offers competitive cooling performance for mid to high TDP CPUs. Its optimized fan and aerodynamic design result in moderate noise levels under load, making it a quieter alternative to many conventional tower air coolers.
Comparisons with other air coolers suggest that the Zet5 stands out for its balance between cooling efficacy and acoustic comfort. It is positioned among premium air coolers such as Noctua's NH-P1, known for silent operation, but the Zet5 may have slightly higher noise due to its emphasis on stronger airflow.
The Zalman Zet5 is now available in two models: black and white. The black model is priced at 77,000 KRW ($55.60), and the white model is slightly more expensive at 79,000 KRW ($57.00). However, there is stiff competition in the air cooling market, with some models offering great performance at lower price points.
It's worth noting that prices for the Zet5 CPU cooler are expected to rise after August 25, but the exact increase remains unknown. As of now, Zalman Zet-series samples have not yet started arriving in the West.
The Zet5 comes with a manual, mounting hardware, thermal paste, and a promotional pass. However, the specific features and benefits of the cooler, as well as the included accessories, have not been detailed in the available information.
The Zalman Zet5 was first showcased at Computex in May, and it was also presented on Jet Wing style stands by Quasar Zone. Despite Quasar Zone's unboxing and hands-on time with the cooler, they did not delve into the performance aspects of the Zet5.
In summary, the Zalman Zet5 is a promising addition to the high-performance air cooling market. Its innovative design offers a balance between cooling efficiency and noise levels, making it a solid alternative to other top air coolers in the market. However, potential buyers should be aware of the upcoming price increase and the lack of detailed information about the cooler's specific features and benefits.
