Titan TTC-NK35TZ
- Intel S775 / AMD AM2/939
- Heatsink : 571 gram (499 gr without fan)
- 900~2800rpm 92mm PWM fan
- ~€18


We tested the AMD only version 3 years ago, not much has changed since then, there’s a new mounting for S775, a metal clip for AMD platform, the fan is a new design, 92mm PWM (TFD-9525H12ZP) which measured 2651rpm@12v ,1128rpm@5v, you can swap the fan if you have a flanged 92mm available.

The design of the heatsink is straight forward, 3 U-form heat pipes joined in a copper base transport heat to the aluminum fins. The copper base shows clear signs of machine lapping but is flat. Inside the package you’ll find a small tube of thermal paste to help work away the imperfections.

It’s compact size and light weight makes it ideal candidate for push-pin installation, straight forward and good enough for a solid fit.

The Titan TTC-NK35TZ is priced very competitively, below €20 the only real competitor is the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro:

The stock fan is noisy at full speed, which was expected, performance of the NK35TZ is on par with the Freezer 7 Pro, although at full speed the performance/noise ratio is not as good; undervolted the outcome is more promising, here the Titan is quieter than the Freezer 7 while only trailing by a measly 0.5°C.




In summary here are the strong/weak points of the Titan TTC-NK35TZ:



+ Acceptable performance/noise balance
+ Easy Installation
+ Very competitive pricing
