Welcome to my unboxing and overview of the Zalman Resurator 3 Max, what they're calling their ultimate liquid CPU cooler. So how could they call it ultimate when it uses a single 120mm radiator? Zalman has done some unique things with this particular cooler that I actually really like. So number one is they are using an all copper microfin design for the CPU block. You can tell that, okay, here, hold on. First things first guys, this is not your average Asetek OEM or Coolit OEM unit. So there, that's one thing that Zalman's done that I really like right off the hop is they've actually tried to do something different, which is cool. They're using a copper microfin design for the CPU block here. So it's got a nice copper base on it like that. And you can see it does have a little bit of sort of Asetek lookingness to the shape of it. So it uses like a puck sort of design for the pump and CPU block, which are a combo unit and then it uses retention ring, hold down base things like this, but they're mounted a little bit differently. So they actually go on the bottom here, screw into place and then mount to your motherboard like that. So Zalman includes their usual sort of many, many bits and pieces mounting hardware that I'm not a huge fan of to be perfectly honest, but if it gets the job done and their manual is reasonably easy to follow along with, and I don't mind too much and it usually is, then we get to, wow, look at this thing. We get to the unit itself. So they're using quarter inch tubing and they're using that nice super flexible non-evaporative stuff. I don't know if you guys know this, but most tubing is somewhat porous, which means some of the fluid will evaporate and this stuff is not very porous at all. Next up is they are using a nano fluid, nano particle fluid inside. So instead of just using water with some glycol, which is what we're typically used to seeing in these because of its anti-corrosive properties and its anti-freeze properties, which is great for shipping all over the world, they're using a completely different approach that may actually contribute to better performance. So I want to finish up with the block here where they've got a nice shiny Zellman logo as well as a blue LED element here around it. They've got a three pin right here, so that's going to power the pump as well as monitor the RPM when it's installed on your motherboard. And then let's move up to the radiator. So the radiator uses a very Zellman looking design here. So it actually looks kind of like their CNPS 9900 series where they've got sort of what look like curved heat pipes, but are actually water channels in this case that go around the outside. So there's actually a dual radiator design here that's kind of masked by the fact that there's this plastic shroud on it. So there's an inner one and an outer one, both of which are going to benefit from the airflow from the single 120 millimeter fan that's on it. Now, one thing I don't like about it is you typically do get better performance out of a radiator if you are shrouding the outside of the fan. So you're focusing the airflow through the fins. However, Zellman sort of figures they've achieved good enough performance in this fashion. If you do want more of a traditional fan on the back of it, you can actually mount it using these screws on the back here. So you can have it mounted in a push-pull config. The one fan that's on there now is powered by a four pin PWM connector right there that comes out of the back here. Oh, another thing guys, it should be noted that that other fan will have the same drawbacks where it'll be able to pull air through gaps here. So it's not actually forcing all the air through the fins. So just like the one on the front. However, for something like this, it can have sort of all the cool looking design elements in the world. This is a blue LED fan as well, just so you guys know. But if it doesn't perform well, then whatever, right? So guys, stay tuned. We are going to be doing a performance review of this particular CPU cooler. And I'm really excited for you guys to be able to check it out because I really want to see how it does. It's very, very thick. It's got a ton of surface area. It's got nice copper construction for particularly this part here. Yeah, I'm really, really excited to see how this goes.

Let me know how you think this is going to perform compared to other more traditional sort of cookie cutter OEM designs for these pre-filled liquid cooling units.
