Default Coolink Silentator CPU Cooler Review Comment Thread
After a strong showing with GFXChilla, we were excited to get our hands on another Coolink product. This time AkG takes a long,hard look at the Coolink Silentator which despite its odd name proves itself to be a pretty capable CPU cooler.

You can find the review here:

ENJOY!!!

Shhhh!!!!!!! Our push to average temperature readings for the CPU cooler reviews and TIM has also been getting some traction with other sites.

Great review as always. I thought tho it would get better temps, or at least closer to the Ultima 90. Maybe Im wrong to think that.

I talked to AkG about this and he was surprised as well. From what I see it is a combination of a weak fan along with a mere "three" (or six depending on how you look at these things) heatpipes.

I really enjoyed the $/degree comparison - I like seeing how far my buck goes and it was a really smart inclusion. I thought the entire review was very well written, testing methodology explained well and concisely, proper caveats included, and a few parts had the humour that I have come to enjoy in HWC reviews.

I already have my CPU cooler so I won't be buying this, but I know I will be watching for Coolink products in the future. Thanks AkG!

Thanks for an excellent and thorough review. I'm sold. Unfortunately after spending 15 minutes looking for a Canadian source for the Coolink Silentator I've gotten nowhere! The European site doesn't have a Canadian link.

Where can you get one of these in Canada? Thanks!

Steve
