I think they are all about the same. And, personally, I think they are all just about as useless. I have used a couple and have found that they really one add noise, not cooling. That's just my experience, for what it's worth.

I've always heard they don't do jack.

They're all the same: unnecessary. If you're looking to do something worthwild (i.e. not just pimping for looks) like get rid of a noisy graphics card fan, then grab a Zalman fan arm and throw a nice, quiet 7-volted fan on it.

I looked at the Zalman fan arm, but for the life of me could not figure out how it worked, or how you mounted it, or where it goes.

Nevermind, look at the Zalman site for a few minutes, I understand now.

The Zalmans are nice cause there are so many ways you can use the fans on them. I have a couple in older machines where I wanted to run a quiet NMB but didn't feel like wasting bigger sinks on them.
