Overall, we are very impressed by the performance on offer by the SilentiumPC Fera 5 Dual. This £30 CPU cooler punches well above its weight in terms of AM4 cooling performance. And it does so whilst feeling like a quality item that we would associate with a price tag at least £10 higher than what the unit actually sells for.
Batting in the same cooling territory as the physically larger and more expensive 135mm coolers that we have tested recently is impressive from the Fera 5 Dual.
As far as downsides go, the only notable gripe we have is that noise output from the 120mm PWM fans at full speed is pretty loud. The units are not too bad, but they’re certainly noticeable when pushing at full pelt.
Thankfully, though, the Fluctus 120 PWM fans have an excellent speed control range with semi-passive operation. So, it is perhaps a little harsh to call noise output a major downside.
At less than £30 and with the cooling performance and quality workmanship on offer, I am pretty blown away by the SilentiumPC Fera 5 Dual. You get great thermals, excellent fan speed control, a superb warranty, easy installation, and stellar aesthetics.
This really is an impressive product, and I would have no hesitations in making a strong recommendation.
The SilentiumPC Fera 5 Dual is available for £29.99 at Scan.
