Thermaltake Silent Tower Cooler Results
Let's have a look at what dual fans can do for us.
Conclusion
The Thermaltake Silent Tower most certainly surprised me.
It showed it had gusto and cooled neck and neck with two excellent comparison
coolers. What I want to emphasis here is that the Silent Tower performed
as it did while generating 21dBA of sound as opposed to the 76 CFM fan on the
comparison coolers that was louder than hell. Style and performance really
shine with Thermaltake's latest cooler. This is somewhat dimmed by having
to remove the mainboard to install it, however given the Silent Tower's size,
that cannot be helped. Thermaltake gets kudos again for innovation that
mixes intrigue and functionality. Pros Universal application to P4, K7, K8 and
Socket T. Strong performance. Ability to add in a second fan for improved
performance. Quiet operation. Very innovative design. Ability to channel air toward a case exhaust
vent. Hippest looking cooler on the block. Cons Compatible only on boards with holes through
PCB around processor socket. Installation is inconvenient and time
consuming. |
