Thermaltake ISGC-400 CPU Cooler Review
Thermaltake ISGC-400
Contents
ISGC-400’s design uses a horizontal heatsink with aluminum fins, connected to the base by six copper heatpipes. Over the base there is also an auxiliary heatsink that helps cooling. This system has an advantage do to the fact that it helps cool the components near the CPU, but the disadvantage is the hot air is not directed to the outside of the case, as on the tower coolers.

In a front view we notice the plastic heatsink caps on the heatpipes tips, also present on other models of this series.
Figure 5: Front view. In Figure 6 we have a rear view of ISGC-400, where it is clear the disposition of the six heatpipes.
Figure 6: Rear view.In Figure 7 we have a top view of the cooler. Note that the heatpipes are closer to each other on the outer side of the heatsink, because it is the area that receives more airflow from the fan. There is no heatpipe in the center, simply because this area gets less airflow.
