Thermaltake V1AX CPU Heatsink

Performance Summary & Final Conclusions:

The Thermaltake V1AX performed well. I could not recommend it for someone wanting an extreme overclock, but it certainly is a huge step up from the stock heatsink. It can handle a modest overclock well, and when the fan is set to the lowest setting it’s silent, which to some can be more important than the speed gained from an overclock. Coming in at around the $50 mark it’s a pretty decent value heatsink.

• Pros:
  • Good value of price vs. performance
  • Good socket compatibility
  • Silent on lowest speed
• Cons:
  • Pushpin Mounting system
  • May need to purchase different socket mounts
