Very high quality and functional product

After a long research in various online stores as well as Internet forums, etc. I opted for the Zalman ZM-NC3000U Notebook fan. My claims on the device were functionality (cooling performance), noise and processing.

Let's start with the processing: The cooler itself is made of (high quality) Plastic, was being carried out very precisely. The fan is covered from above by a metal grid that seamlessly adapts to the plastic of the frame, leaving a very sophisticated look! In short, the processing is good, as I had expected much less and was really very pleasantly surprised!

To Noise: The fan seems to be supported very well, since no imbalance or vibrations are noticeable. What I personally find very nice, the possibility of the fan for a one and be able to turn but in addition also the speed can be continuously regulated, very fine. This fan is inaudible even at the highest level! In the notebook, which used to test I a SSD is installed, so the notebook itself is also very quiet! Ultimate Test here: Operating on the couch in the evening next to my wife, which already beschwehrt with me when the notebook the sound is a little too loud. The Zalman has not taken true, thus very clear to me passed test!

Now for the most important (for me) point, the functionality: What good is a super fan of processed, the (almost) also runs silently if it does not cool? -Richtig, Nothing at all !!! Not so the Zalman! I have several tests with Furmark (GPU load) and Prime95 (CPU load) performed with and without cooler. From the calculated mean values ​​is a joyous outcome for me was: When using the Zalman the temperature was consistently lower by 10 ° C than in the test without cooler! This is in my opinion a very good value as 10 ° in this area but it is a lot of wood. So here, too: test passed!

In conclusion, I can say that the 3 USB hub works without problems. The slope of the operating area I personally feel as very pleasant, because ergonomic! Whether you on the table, the couch or in bed using the Zalman also lap, it all works very well. Of course, the cooling performance is not so good if you cooler stand on a duvet / has are because he no longer gets so much air, yet is still a cooling capacity to feel and the hot earlier thigh thing of the past!

CONCLUSION: The Zalman ZM-NC3000U could convince me in every respect. Sure, there are cheaper cooler, but I do not think that they are in all respects so as to convince the Zalman.

From me an unrestricted Purchase Recommendation!

Edit at 13:04:12: A little update of my review of the occasion. A major gripe I have now but I found the mini-USB port is "bilig" processed and has now given up the ghost with me, because there are much better solutions !!! But since I still can operate on one power supply and the device exchange the connection itself I pull from only 1 star.
