Zalman Zet 5

[Firegod]

Seems interesting, just seen this:

• https://www.guru3d.com/story/zalman-launches-zet-5-circular-sideflow-cpu-cooler-for-high-tdp/

TDP rating up to 200W with hydrodynamic bearings.

Wonder how it will perform. Certainly looks different!

I like this. I had one of these years ago but this new version is interesting looking, hope it can perform well enough.

That's a name i haven't heard of in a long time! Glad to see they are still around.

How do you replace the fans?

I can remember the Zalman flower coolers

How do you replace the fans?

It doesn't look like you can as they are fixed with magnets and have a unique set of contacts for power.

This looks like it probably isn't going to be cheap and Zalman coolers in the past tended to suffer from noise so it will be interesting to see how this one reviews.

They should have enclosed the open area where the heat pipes are.

How do you replace the fans?

If they do not make replacements you would have to rely on their RMA service, or bin the cooler.
