ThermalTake ISGC-400 (CL-P0540)

Zitat: The ISGC-400, as well as other coolers with a similar design, did not perform well on our tests. In the ISGC series, it was better just than ISGC-100, but it was worst than ISGC-200 and far worst than ISGC-300, the best of them. Its noise level was not bad, but it was also not one of the quieter we tested. Talking about price, it is an expensive cooler for the performance it offers. Its only advantage is the fact it is shorter than the taller tower coolers, and so can be a reasonable option for someone with a slim case and is looking for a cooler better and quieter than the stock one, with no budget restrictions. But if this is not your case, forget about ISGC-400, there are better and cheaper coolers on market.

Zitat: Zalety: + Jeden z najwydajniejszych schładzaczy horyzontalnych w teście! + Szeroko rozstawione blaszki sprzyjają cichej pracy wentylatora Wady: - W ogólnym rozrachunku wydajność poniżej oczekiwań - Niska opłacalność zakupu

Zitat: + Kühlt das Mainboard - Mäßige Kühlleistung

Zitat: Pros: + Great cooling and airflow + Very quiet even on high setting + Easy to install on AMD boards + Uses new ISGC fan Cons: - Interferes with tall memory When it comes to CPU coolers, every degree counts - especially when overclocking comes into play. While it might seem like a small difference, that little bit can mean having a stable overclock or a fried processor, which no one likes. The ISGC series coolers have great cooling designs and do their jobs well. The ISGC-400, when compared to a stock AMD heatsink, blows it away - especially on the overclocked tests, where the stock heatsink did not cool the processor well enough to keep the system stable. When comparing the ISGC cooler to other aftermarket coolers, it came in around the same. However, when compared to its kin, the ISGC-300, it did fall behind just a bit; which, like I mentioned above, when dealing with temperatures every degree counts. Because of its design, the ISGC-400 also restricts tall memory from being installed with it, in any of the memory slots. However, with the lessened height of the ISGC-400, compared to the ISGC-300, you will have no problems installing it in a mid-tower case that has fans on the side panel. During testing, the cooler was nearly silent - even at the highest RPM. Overall, this is a very nice CPU cooler and will do a great job keeping your precious components cool during those long frag fests.

Zitat: Beide Thermaltake Prozessorkühler haben sich wacker geschlagen. Wirkliche Schwächen konnten wir keine feststellen. Die Geräuschpegel lagen auf vergleichbarem Niveau anderer Highend-Kühler, wie zum Beispiel dem Scythe Mugen 2. Zudem zeigten beide ISGC-Vertreter eine sehr gute Fertigungsqualität. Einzig die Lüfterhalteklammern des ISGC-400 waren etwas zu weit auseinander gebogen. Der ISGC-300 konnte sich im 12 V-Ranking sogar auf Augenhöhe mit dem Thermolab Baram in Verbindung mit einem unserer Scythe Slip Stream-Lüfter setzen und das sogar bei geringerem Geräuschpegel. Dadurch hat sich der Thermaltake ISGC-300 den "Effizienz-Award" verdient.
