DH Review: Titan Vanessa Coolers

Zardon · Jan 30, 2006, 01:09 PM

The Vanessa series are supposed to be some of the most efficient and feature packed coolers available currently. Truly, the coolers are offering almost everything that you can expect from a CPU cooler. First of all, you can mount them on any socket currently available, so you do not have to worry if the cooler will mount on your motherboard or what will happen if you want to upgrade at a future date. They both feature speed adjustable fans for you to choose between performance and silence. And also they are carefully designed to enhance your system’s looks.

Nice review!!!!! Maybe I will look into buying one of these!

great job Grace, I must say they are interesting looking coolers and they seem to perform well also. A touch expensive perhaps.

I suppose I would most be concerned about the size of and the compatibility for most standard cases.

Good review. That's an attractive cooler, but it's pricey.

I hate the look of the thing but great review

Pretty darn good looking cooler

There is a typo though on the last page with the conclusion:

Cons:

• The large sizes an create compatibility problems

You forgot a C at the fourth word
Either than that, wonderful review, as always

I have question about this. I'm planning on buying this along with an Athlon64 X2. Well, I read in your review this HSF comes with it's own thermal grease, but I have a tube of Arctic Silver 5, and was wondering which would be better to use.

I would use the AS5 myself Golbeze, the included thermal grease is very nice but AS5 is proven to be among the best.

Alright, thanks. I'll use the silver then.
