Phanteks
has been making fans for a while but this one os certainly special. Next to the
Intel stock CPU cooler it looks small. Jimmy Thang reviews the new small and
quiet CPU cooler which is great, but only in some circumstances. A big plus to
the cooler is its size, it can easily fin into HTPCs or Home Theater Personal
Computers. They are small computers that are usually connected to T.V.s and
used for viewing movies or shows and light weight applications. When compared
to the intel stock cooler it looses in thermal tests by several degrees
Celsius. In conclusion, it is quiet, small and will fit in HTPC chassis, but
the intel stock cooler cools better. Jimmy Thang gave it an 8 out of 10.
In
my opinion i do not agree with Jimmy Thangs review. Although the cooler is
small and quiet it should not have gotten an 8 out 10. However, if it was a 7
out of 10 I would of agreed. The cooler clearly can beet a simple stock intel
cooler, now this is ok if you were going to do a small HTPC build but if it was
a full size PC i would not agree. He should of stressed this in the article.
Also i would give it the 7 and not a 8 because of the problems they ran into
when installing the cooler. In conclusion i would recommend this article if you
are planning on building a HTPC and need to do research on a CPU cooler because
of its in debt review of the cooler and the valuable information it provides.
