Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler Review

The Silent 1156 (Cont’d)

To remove the fan, you just need to unhook it from the heatsink. In Figure 7, you can see the Silent 1156 without the fan, with the clips installed.

In Figure 8, you can see the 90 mm fan that comes with the cooler. It has a four pin connector, which means it supports PWM automatic speed control. It is screwed to a plastic frame that makes it easy to put on and remove, which is excellent if you like to clean your cooler periodically.

In Figure 9, you can see the base of the cooler, which is made of pure copper. The surface is smooth, but not sufficiently polished to be mirror-like.
