Thermaltake SubZero4G TEC for P4

Test Bed

And the results are...

Conclusion

I for one am very impressed with the SubZero4G unit.  The kit does exactly what it is supposed to do and more.  Initially, I thought this was going to be a super cooler type unit, then when I saw all the stuff on the box and in the manual about how quiet it was, then, the short convection fins, I lost my expectations.  Now seeing the SubZero4G beat out the Tt Spark 7 by almost 5 ' C, I really am surprised.  Not only did the performance of the unit shine but it did so at a minimum of noise.  I want to underscore this, it is EXTREMELY quiet.

The only down side to the SubZero4G TEC Cooler was its price.  $150 is a lot of dough for many.  In spite of this, I can say now having tried out the unit, personally I would not have a problem spending that kind of money for the novelty, performance, and quiet the SubZero4G offers

I do not yet have information on a release date but you can be sure that Xoxide, Case Cooler, and Sidewinder will have them in stock.

As an aside, we have the AMD version of this unit here and you should be seeing that review in a few days.
