Review: Thermaltake Extreme Giant III Cooler

**MIG-31** · Apr 1, 2004, 10:03 PM

After getting a first glimpse at this recent addition to Tt's VGA cooling line, it doesn't take long to notice that it is quite appropriately named. One big chunk of metal! How effective is it though? according to the guys at OCFaq, very. Pity about the noise factor though.

"The extra-switchable blower has an annoying high-pitched whining sound coming with it, but when switched on it really gives you much better overclocking results. Running at maximum, the Giant III gives the same maximum overclock as a watercooling solution. I would even say it is a good thermal solution with some voltmodding."
