Thermaltake Frio14 Silent CPU Cooler Review

We compared the Thermaltake Frio 14 CPU cooler to a couple of competing models on the market- the Arctic Cooling A30 and the Dark Rock 3. It is worth noting that both comparison coolers are brand new, meaning that there is no dust, dirt or damage that could possibly affect the accuracy of our recorded results.

Our charts show actual temperatures of the CPU rather than delta temperatures.

Ambient temperature was maintained at 22°C.

Frio14 Temperature

As you can see, the Thermaltake Frio14 performs admirably. Idle temperatures were kept at a steady 28 degrees while load temperatures managed to stay comfortably under the 50 degree mark. In addition, the cooler held its own against the more expensive Dark Rock 3 from be quiet!.

An impressive result for a cooler that only costs £30.

  1. I have a bigger cooler, and looks exactly like this, but it’s from cooler master, and dose a pretty good job keeping my cpu cooled.

  2. Whats an “Low Noise Cable?”

  3. It uses 7V instead of 12V which reduces the RPM, which makes the fan even less noisy.

  4. You can make a review of the Thermalright Archon SB-E X2? Thank you
