Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler Review
Conclusions
Contents
On one hand, the Thermaltake Silent 1156 did not achieve a good performance level, as it kept our CPU a lot hotter than a high end cooler and even a little hotter than a mainstream cooler. On the other hand, when compared to the Intel stock cooler, it kept our CPU more than 20 °C cooler.
It is easy to install and looks nice. The best feature was the low noise level, even when the CPU was under full load.
It is a relatively inexpensive cooler, so if you have a socket LGA1156 CPU and you want to replace the stock cooler with another one, that has better performance and a lower noise level, and you are a budget-conscious buyer that does not want to pay a small fortune for a top notch cooler, you can buy the Thermaltake Silent 1156 with no fear of making a bad choice.
