Thermaltake Contac 29 CPU Cooler Review

As I said on the previous page, I am definitely satisfied with the Thermaltake Contac 29. It is lightweight, affordable, and quiet; yet it extends very similar performance to coolers that cost nearly twice. However, since the cooler is small, its performance can fall apart in extreme situations, such as a fully loaded, overclocked i7. While temperatures remained acceptable through every test, the jump between idle and load in the overclocked situation was noticeably larger than the difference in the stock testing.
