We'd like to thank our friends at Thermaltake for providing the Frio universal heatsink for our review today. There were a lot of good qualities about the Frio that I think will appeal to basic users and overclockers alike. The easy of installation and s...

Performance:The Thermaltake Frio CPU Cooler did its job well, at low and high speeds. The temperature difference compared to the noise difference is very considerable, but if you need that extra few degrees for piece of mind, it isn't an unbearable amo...
It's great to see Thermaltake finally moving away from using gimmicks to try and sell coolers, and moving into the realms of less is more. There's no wacky designs and no fans with 40 different colour LED's. The mount is so simple I think even my little s...
Abstract: Thermaltake have finally produced an excellent high performance heatsink worthy of FrostyTech's Top 5 Heatsink chart. All it took was two fans, five 8mm diameter heatpipes, a 1kg mass of metal and a little concentrated effort. ...

The Frio easily lives up to its name by keeping our system's i7 860 downright chilly throughout all of our testing. At stock speeds, it handily matches the competition while being absolutely silent. When we overclock our processor, we see the Frio real...
At $60.00 the Thermaltake Frio represents a very good value. You’d be hard pressed to find a heat sink on the market today that offers this level of performance along with two fans for the less than $70 dollars. Even comparing top offerings from other ...
So, has Thermaltake managed to create a true super-cooler? It s difficult to answer this question definitively. On the one hand, Thermaltake Frío is a really highly efficient cooling system that can cope with decently overclocked quad-core processors j...
We've seen a lot of coolers, and we're sure to see even more as time goes on, but the Thermaltake Frio has made a very good impression on us. It can be very quiet when it wants to be, being barely audible on an open air case, and it can be a loud monst...
