s An overclocked Sandy Bridge E is probably not something Thermaltake even had in mind when designing the Frio OCK, and it is hotter than just about every modern CPU out there (with perhaps the exception of Ivy Bridge which has its own issues when over...
The Thermaltake Frio OCK is well designed and performs exceptionally well. It definitely manages to keep up with some of the best coolers on the market today. ...
Abstract: A lot of people think it’s a little odd that I happen to be Hi Tech Legion’s “cooling guy”. I mean, really, cooling isn’t something people typically get overly excited about, but you need to understand some things. After my parents pitched me over the ...

Abstract: The cooler weighs over a kilogram (1093grams) and comes with two 130mm fans arranged in a push-pull configuation that scale from 2100-to-1200RPM. Behind all the unncessary fan shroud is an aluminum fin tower split down the middle. ...
Abstract: The CPU cooler is probably one of the most important parts of your computer system; it's what keeps your CPU cool and working great. Today for review I've got the Thermaltake Frio OCK CPU cooler which is big and bold with styling based on Starcraft II act...
I was thrilled when Thermaltake said it would be sending two coolers for us to test, knowing full well what each is intended for. This gave us a chance to show each side of the cooling story and allow readers the opportunity to decide what's most impo...
