What can I say except I am impressed, the cooler was silent and performed well and was just as it said on the packaging. I did expect higher temps on the load side of things but I was proved wrong and the cooler managed a very impressive 43.5 under loa...

Thermaltake has been around for only seven years, but every one of them has been spent turning the heads of the hardware community. From the original Golden Orbs effective cooling at near silent levels to the current array of water and air coolers, Th...

Huge size may not allow it to be used in smaller cases, Lengthy installation process, Base was not very flat or smooth, Can be expensive unless you find it on sale...
The Thermaltake Big Typhoon certainly is a monster in both size and performance, and it even does well in heavily overclocked systems as long as you have the space for it. It is already compatible with the latest CPUs from both camps, and it might eve...

In the line of overclocking, one of the most important things, if not the most important thing after stepping, is cooling. Without it, you could find your processor burning out in minutes; with it, higher clocks can be achieved at the same voltages. To...
Thermaltake has put out a powerful contender in the air cooling field. It managed to beat out (theoretically of course, but no doubt true) the stock AMD heatsink by a solid amount despite being half-starved for air. That being said, as tests continued, we...

After seeing a sink as large as the Big Typhoon, we’re left to only reminisce about the days of heatsinks with small fans and soldered fins, way back when a 92MM fan would have been considered extravagant, even by the standards of the overclocker...
With the ability to keep your system incredibly chilly at low noise levels, there’s not much left to desire after working with Thermaltake’s Big Typhoon. That being said, there are a few points and issues that need to be discussed before any e...

This stunning heatsink sports the typical copper base, six heat pipes, and a gaggle of aluminum fins that hang over the processor zone. A 120mm fan—the biggest in this roundup—sits atop this dense apparatus, blowing down air to carry heat radiated from...

Looking for an air cooler that can actually get the job done? If you have the space, youll want to checkout the Big Typhoon.
Its been a long time since an air cooler has impressed us, and the Thermaltake Big Typhoon delivers in a big (no pun intended) way. Weve seen massive coolers before, but in the past, not even the biggest coolers were able to power past the Koolance...

With the 120mm fan removed, you can see the top of the densely packed aluminum fins. Something that makes the design of the Big Typhoon unique is that it is large enough to be designed as two heatsinks in one! The aluminum fins are actually arranged in...

I did not start out disliking this heat sink, as I said, I’ve owned many Thermaltake products before and they’ve all been well designed and easy to install. The Big Typhoon to me, seemed to be designed to feed the desire to have heat pipes...
