Fans sound like a car engine when on high, Multiple clearance issues during installation
Overall the Frio OCK is a powerful cooler. While it can achieve some pretty good temperatures on high fan speeds, it’s just quite annoying to have your case sound like a car engine. I recommend using the fans anywhere between low-medium speeds to get t...

This cooler has kind of been a mixed bag. We initially ran into some problems with installing this unit but it was very quickly remedied by Thermaltake. In terms of performance it actually managed to perform just as well as the Swiftech Polaris. In our te...
