Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler Reviews
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: ![]() By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Thermaltake Silent 1156 CPU Cooler (Personal Computers) I'm pretty busy and normally don't have time for this sort of review posting. But this cooler delivered so effectively, I thought I should take the time. I previously used both the original Intel stock cooler and another Thermaltake CPU fan (model CLP0555). Both were very subpar. I had constant problems during gaming where my CPU temp would spike from ~30 degrees to about 55-60. Installing this fan did the trick. My non gaming temps dropped about 10 degrees (currently running 22-23 on both cores) and during gaming it holds around 35 degrees. The fan is also much quieter; about as quiet as the best Zalman fan I had on an old AMD Toledo 939 box I used to own. I've about 20 years experience in building PCs from component parts. This fan does the trick and is worth the $ to upgrade from an Intel stock cooler. I also think you would be hard pressed to do much better than this fan. Any alternative probably wouldn't vary much in price or performance. Also, I have no...

Since it is a two-year-old PC (running Intel� Core i7-860), I didn't want to spend too much, as I will, likely, want to upgrade to the next generation CPU next year. I replaced my case fans (Antec 300 stock fans) with Nexus D12SL-12BL 120mm fans. I did a bit of cable management to improve airflow, etc. I first bought the Cooler Master Hyper TX3, but found the 1156 mounting pins extremely flimsy, and the cooling performance sub-par. I am going to use it for my AMD-based file server. I searched for an alternative, inexpensive cooler, and decided to buy the Thermaltake Silent 1156 cooler. What a nice surprise this turned out to be! Everything was significantly better than the TX3: the packaging, the fan, even the fan cord. The mounting pins were sturdy and extremely easy to use. I applied the supplied thermal compound and mounted the fan without much effort. The fan takes up surprisingly little room in my case;...

I was considering a water-cooled option but my mid-tower is a bit cramped for space and I didn't feel like spending a lot of money after having sunk close to a grand already. With CPU temperatures running @ 57 degrees centigrade while idle, I took a chance on Thermalake's Silent 1156 and I'm glad I did. I used Arctic Silver thermal paste on the heatsink, pressed the push pins into the motherboard and crossed my fingers - Installation was relatively easy. After powering up, I was amazed to see an idle temperature of 39 degrees centigrade! After a week of computing, the CPU temp had dropped considerably, once the thermal paste had spread out from the rice-sized dot I placed on the CPU. Here's what I'm reading on both cores as I type this review: Core #0 - 32; Core #1 - 39. Idle temps are now @ 24 - 27...not bad at all. The real test is when you run... Read more |
