Thermaltake Big Typhoon CPU Cooler Review
by AkG     |     April 30, 2008

E4600 Temperature Testing

Idle Temperature Results


At stock speed the Big Typhoon idles with the best of them; however, when the thermal loads increase, the Big Typhoon’s numbers get slightly worse. The numbers are far from bad (and are still better than the Silentator’s numbers), but they are no longer as good as the Ultima 90’s or Scythe Copper Ninja’s numbers. All in all, still a good showing for a CPU cooling solution that has been on the market for 3 years!


Average Load Temperatures


At first the Big Typhoon’s numbers only make it a mediocre performer, however as the temps increase so does the speed at which that big, yet very quiet Hong Sheng fan rotates. This increase in RPMs helps propel its overclocking results to a very impressive second place. When one takes into consideration the fact that the Scythe Copper Ninja is over 1KG in weight, a mere 3 degrees Celsius difference is not that big a deal.
