A Roundup of cheap coolers for powerful processors (SocketA): Q1-2`2003
Titan TTC-D5TB(F)CU35
Last year, we reviewed the TTC-D5TB(TC) cooler made by Titan. It appealed to me primarily by its superb exterior and low noise levels (owing to the fan of variable rotation speed). So once I heard of the release of new TTC-D5TB(F)CU35 model, of course I bought that for tests.
At first glance, the cooler makes little difference from the predecessor: the fan is colored black, not silvery. And no sooner had I removed the protective film from the base than
I immediately noticed a copper circle around 3 cm in diameter and 6 mm in thickness (as per the manufacturer's data). It's just this circle that's responsible for taking heat off the processor core and distribute it over the aluminum radiator (whose design remained unchanged) as quickly as possible.
The processing quality of the base is above all praise. What I especially liked is that the copper insert has an ideal contact with the aluminum part.
The radiator has a small bulge in the central area.
Another difference is that the fastening clip has a hook for all the three socket teeth (not for one as is the case with TTC-D5TB(TC).
These don't matter much though, since the cooler mass is not great on the whole.
On the cooler, there is a 80 mm fan of 2800 rpm rotation speed. The noise level that's generated does not exceed 32 dBa, with the air flow being 37.57 CFM.
Unfortunately, the fan does not offer a thermal sensor and can't change the rotation speed depending on the processor temperature.
