When you have a run off the mill system then the chance is fairly small that there is a case fan present. As there are quite a lot of heat emitting devices lurking inside your PC case it’s never a bad idea to get that hot air away from them. Both the TTC-SC04 and TTC-005 are coolers based on a thread-mill fan design, these produce a little less airflow at a little bit more noise than the conventional fan, but have the advantage of taking up less room. TTC-005  You’ll need two free PCI slots to install this unit, plugging in the 4-pin pass through cable powers it up, no speed regulator is included and the fan is running at maximum speed all the time. The noise increase is quite noticeable and if you have a silent system then this might not be the ideal addition. As it is placed at the bottom of your case, where there is little or no warm air you won’t see big (if any) changes in CPU temperature, case temperature will decrease 1-5°C depending on where you measure it. Overall a noisy solution for reducing the case temperature, only consider it if you don’t care about the added noise. TTC-SC04  You need a free 5.25” drive-bay and a free 3-pin connector on your motherboard to install this unit. The rheostat allows you to change fan speed between 1250-3000rpm, going from quite silent to loud. Changing the position of the unit between top/lower drive bays in a midi-case didn’t impact its performance, running at max speeds you can expect ~1°C temperature drop, nothing too impressing so far. The installation requires a bit more work than the TTC-005 but you’ll still have it up and running in less than 5 minutes. A more effective solution if you look at the results, the ability to change the speed of the fan is a nice added bonus, if you have a cramped case and no case-cooling then it can decrease overall temperature, but nothing spectacular. If you are a hardware enthusiast looking for the last bit of cooling performance then look elsewhere, these products are not aimed at this market. If you have want a plug and play method for reducing overall case temperature then these products are worth a look, the price is not particular high either, I’ve seen TTC-005 at ~$6 and the TTC-SC04 at ~$13. On the next pages you will find a more in-depth look at both products including detailed results and description of the test systems used ->  More reviews in this category can be found below: |
