because reviews only test for a view minutes in nice, big cases, with good 
cable managment. Reviews never test a cooler over a couple of month. AC gets 
good reviews, but if you don't clean the fan a lot or there is a lot of dust 
in the air, the FAN suffers a lot. Their open spindle is very sensitive.

I don't like Zalman. No way to change the cooler. Stupid fastening system, no 
pwm.
