Titan Fenrir and Skalli CPU Coolers Review

A Closer Look at the Titan Skalli

To us if you can find two decent 100m fans and have a desire to swap out this cooler’s quiet and good looking fan you are most likely going to have to fabricate your own rentention clips from wire stock. That may not sound too hard but we really wish this cooler had mounted either a slightly smaller 92mm fan (and had accompanying smaller clips) or at the very least included as second set of these odd ball clips. On the positive side, the Skalli is a large dual U shaped 8mm thick heatpipe cooler and unlike its bigger quad wielding brother the Fenrir, the tops of the heatpipes have been capped in metal to give a very nice and clean look.


Since the Skalli is of a relatively small stature, it needs to rely on engineering to overcome its limitations so it is nice to see that the surface of the fins should help reduce the work load of its single fan.


Moving onto the base we were once again impressed by the level and quality and workmanship on display. Both the large metal brackets and heatpipes are polished to a mirror; however, where there are only two 8mm heatpipes to wick away heat from your CPU so we have to wonder if this cooler would be better suited for older (and smaller) CPUs like the venerable 775.


As with the Fenrir cooler the 100x25mm fan which accompanies the Skalli appears to be an “in house” design made by Titan. This case-less fan is labeled as TFD-10025LL12ZP and is (like the Fenrir’s) marketed as a “Z-Axis” fan. Titan states it runs between 8000-1500RPMs. At its maximum speed this oddball fan is rated to move a moderate 46.58 CFM and do it with 1.27mm (0.05inch) of static pressure; all things considered this is fairly impressive given its size and speed.

With its ability to go as low as 800rpms yet max out at a moderate 1500rpms, this fan (on paper) sounds like it has been built from the ground up to be powerful enough, yet quiet enough to perform well in a variety of situations. We just wish it had either been slightly smaller (at a more typical 92mm) or larger (at 120mm) as either solution would have allowed for easier replacement with aftermarket fans; fans which may be more suited to your needs better than a “jack of all trades” fan like this one.


On the positive side the fan on the Skalli is 4 pin PWM capable and just like the Fenrir’s its wires are finished in a nice braided sheath. This combined with the fan's strikingly handsome chromed blades does make for one heck of a setup.
