Opening up the box we find that there are two fans included, one a 120mm fan, and the other a rather large 140mm fan.
Also included was a very simple installation guide for common Intel and AMD sockets, although some of the diagrams were not as clear as they could be.
The heatsink itself is certainly very different to your standard air CPU cooler, and has 5*8mm copper pipes as well as two quite large heatsinks perpendicular to each other. While it is a bit of a beast, it should still fit into most cases, although we expect it might be quite tight once the two fans have been fitted.
Both heatsinks have been made up of very dense aluminium fins, and the 5 thick heat pipes are equally spread out through the heatsink. This allows a lot of heat to be transferred to the very tips of the fins and hopefully with the aid of the fans should allow good thermal performance.
The Titan Fenrir Siberia Edition CPU Cooler comes with a lot of accessories, allowing you to install this CPU cooler on Intel LGA 1366/1156/1155/775 as well as AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1 sockets. There is also a dual-fan cable allowing you plug both fans directly into the CPU fan socket on your motherboard.
They look great in pictures, but I dont like the opposing style coolers like this. they are huge and just take up too much space. no need for it. especially with these results. my £20 cooler is comparible.
Those style of coolers are on a road to nowhere. Its great they cool the board, but most case fans are designed to help with that. I dont like large coolers like the D14 either however, as they are too restrictive. thats why coolers like Corsair H100 are so great, they CPU socket is hardly covered at all, so loads of room around it for the build.
