Titan AMANDA Air/TEC CPU Cooler
 

Titan Amanda is a new cooler based on a little TEC (40W). At the beginning we felt something strange hearing that this cpu cooler used an air-cooled peltier cell to improve its performances. This time Titan understood the limit of this tecnology: a little TEC isn’t able to cool our processor if left alone in this heavy task! This the reason why Amanda joins two traditional technologies, TEC and Air Cooling, by the use of four heatpipes: a pair of them cools the cpu, the other pair cools the TEC chip which improves heat transfer from the cpu to the fins. Of course there are some compromises: Amanda weight over one kilo and it introduces addictional power consumption, around 60-70Watts under full stress. However, performances are similar to watercooling kits and much more better than ‘industrial’ watercooling kit, while noise level and price (around $100) are lower: this hybrid solution brought from Titan to us could be a good choice if we’re looking for performances.
