Zalman ZM-F3-FDB & ZM-SF3 120mm Cooling Fan Review

Introduction – The Zalman Brothers

To be honest with the community, it’s been a few years since Zalman has really “wooed” me with their cooling products. Although, Zalman and I do go far back to when I originally started building PCs. Around the year 2006 Zalman brought fans to the consumer market which were incredibly well priced, performed very well and offered the users more features and accessories than we had previously come to expect, especially for its price bracket. Those features, rubber fan screws and 5v resistors cables, are almost a standard on any product we see on the market looking to offer itself as a quiet solution for your computer needs. Let’s see if Zalman can have such an impact on the market again with its new fans featuring the Fluid Dynamic Bearing & Ever Lasting Quiet bearing, along with their previous noise reduction options.
