Hi

I read a few reviews on the Zalman past and it seems to have similar peformance to AS5. I find it much easier to apply. Another QX6700 I set up with a Tuniq tower and the Zalman stuff runs at 50 deg full load which I dont think is bad.

The system is very quick

Render in Carera, Bryce, Poser and Truespace.
