From Coolink we tested the silentator heat-pipe cooler, a fairly standard design yet a product that offers a lot of value. This cooler has three heat-pipes embedded mounting to a much smaller aluminum fin surface opposed to the others. There's a positive and negative to that. When it's not stressed it can get rid of heat much faster then the large bulky coolers. The downside to that is, once it reaches a maximum threshold where there's a lot of heat ..it will have more difficulties getting rid of it, look at that as a long queue line where it's more difficult to dispose heat, aka less capacity.

The Cooler as stated looks pretty standard, comes with copper CPU block and a silent SWiF-1202 120mm fan. The cooler has the same retention kits's applied to it as the Noctua coolers. After some investigation we noticed that there is a bigger company behind both brands called Rascom, apparently they joined forces. The product is compatible with Socket LGA 775, AM2 and K8 (754, 939, 940) processors. Notable is that we spot anti-vibration strips pre-mounted on one side of the cooling fins in order to dampen minor vibrations emitted by the fan(s).

Also a notable fact is that the kit comes with a fan controller, so though the fan already is really silent you can lower RPM. Obviously most mainboard BIOSes allow this as well. Overall this is a really good fan kit, though why they named it 'Silentator' ? Beats me :)

Installation

Installation wise You need to remove the mainboard, fit a backplate, then  at the front you secure two metal guides to the backplate. Then at the cooler block you fit two retention shims, and then you mount it together with two screws and springs.

A fairly good copper base, not mirror finished though.

Springs attached, fan in place .. we are good to go for testing.
