Coolink Silentator Heatpipe Cooler Review Being a reviewer, Coolink has provided me with 3 different mounting kits and a required mounting kit (pressure springs and fastening brackets). These were for LGA 775, AM2 and K8 (754, 939 and 940). However, as a consumer, you must choose which kit you need before purchasing, as the Silentator will be available in one of these three varieties. Coolink also provide a mounting bracket for a fan controller, as well as a long steel screwdriver with a 90 degree bend in it. This is required for mounting in some cases, as the mounting bolt must be accessed from through the cooler itself (seen later). Some extra goodies include a 3-pin fan to Molex adaptor (in the event that you don’t have a spare motherboard 3-pin header), some thermal paste and a second fan mounting kit. The Silentator allows for two 120mm fans to be attached. Very generous. Finally, a lovely booklet is included with a rubbery case sticker. The book was the part that made me laugh – ...my computer is so silent that I can hear the snowflakes falling. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/silentator/ |
Will be present in next CPU Cooler roundup:) |
Excellent! When can we expect the new roundup? I have been looking into the Silentator and some web reviews suggest that it is as good as the Thermalright Ultra 120 and yet it comes with a good fan too! One observation about the last roundup: - Since there are heatsinks that come without a fan you need to establish a reference clip-attachable fan, as well as upward & downward recommendations on noise/cfm. I am not the type to cut fans and secure them with elastic bands, and I'm guessing neither are most of your readers. |
Won't swap out the globalwin, sorry, too many tests already completed :) but there are many alternatives to that fan which offer similar performance/noise. New roundup will be half/end August, as I'll be short on reviewing time the coming weeks |
they even supply the mounting kit for a second fan :o |
Well, I am not pleased with the Thermalright 120 forcing me to spend hours of researching for the ideal fan. Any suggestions (that don't require plastic bands...) for max performance with a no case set-up? The Silentator feels like a complete, high performing, not deaf-making loud product. |
you can buy the fan used on that one separately, or you can "mod" a globalwin, all it takes is a saw and 10min time:) |
As an expert which one between the: - Tuniq Tower 120 - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme - Cooling Silentator best suits an open set-up meant for some serious overclocking? |
Ultra-120 eXtreme, looking at cheer amount of heat pipes and tightly packed fins; |
Thank you jmke. I bought one and I have these 2 fans: - Xilence Red Wing 120mm - AcoustiFan: DustPROOF 120mm What do you think? Good choices? |
