Thermaltake Announces Frio Advanced CPU Cooler
Thermaltake announced the Frio Advanced CPU cooler this morning, which is an updated version of the Frio and Frio OCK CPU Coolers that have already been on the market for some time. The original Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler came out in 2010 and it featured five 8mm heat pipes that attached to the base of the heatsink. We reviewed this cooler and found it to be fairly decent for when it was released. The new Thermaltake Advanced CPU cooler still has five heat pipes, but they directly touch the CPU and are just 6mm in diameter now. Thermaltake also changed the look of the cooler and added a larger 130mm fan. Thermaltake says the Frio Advanced CPU cooler can handle processors with up to 230W TDP.
Unlike the traditional welding between the heat-pipe with the heat-sink which created extra welding points acting as heat collectors on the heat-sink, the Thermaltake Frio Advanced consolidated the most up-to-dated CPU cooler technology using mechanical assembling on the heat-pipe with the heat-sink which provides a precise and direct contact for flawless heat transmission from the CPU to the heat-sink. Plus, the 5 x 6 mm heat-pipes with direct touch to the CPU surface and high density aluminum fins allow larger surface area that not only increased heat conductivity but also grant for a better heat dissipation. Moreover, the Thermaltake has also incorporated the Pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique to control the speed of the Frio Advanceds dual 13cm fans from 800~2000 RPM in favor of a smarter fan noise management for overclockers.
