#27791 Posted on: 09.01.2013 23:08:52 Yeah exactly. Anything passive usually requires decent airflow inside, with that review i had 500R with two fans at front spinning plus rear exhaust too. This cooler is ideal if you arent gonna be overclocking and wanna keep noise down as much as poss! Sent from my GT-I9100P using Tapatalk 2

#27925 Posted on: 12.01.2013 15:04:15 Great review as ever Mish, shame it can't take overclocks too well but for a passive cooler it did great. Seems like a good product, would still rather take a 212 or a T4 though.

#27936 Posted on: 12.01.2013 22:31:48 Small market though, for it's size you could get a much smaller cooler for a HTPC or LAN rig whilst it's inability to overclock makes it a poor choice at an enthusiast level, so really it's for the silent gamer or the high end HTPC I guess?
