Thermaltake BigTyp 14Pro CPU Cooler Review
Introduction (cont’d)

Removing the "cage" we can have a clearer view from teh heatsink. Six large U-shaped heatpipes come out of the base from both sides and each side gets to a radiator. This is a very amazing design, working as a true 12-heatpipe system.

Are you adept of cooler polishing? On this model there is no reason for that: BigTyp 14Pro base is extremely well polished, acting like a mirror. In Figure 6, you can see the perfect reflex of a screw we place in front of the base.

On the top part of the base we can see two slots where where the clip for AMD CPUs fits. For Intel processors it is necessary to fasten two brackets (shown in the next page) in the holes we see in Figure 7.

In Figure 8, you can see the fan and its frame. It uses a three-pin power plug, allowing you to connect it to the motherboard, so you can measure the fan speed using hardware monitoring programs.

On the fan power cable there is a small potentiometer where you can adjust fan speed.
