ThermalTake Jungle525 AE
At first glance, the ThermalTake Jungle525 AE cooler is a hypertrophied replica of a boxed cooler.
In particular, the dimensions of the radiator and fan have been increased, with the shape of the latter somehow changed:
Technical specifications of the fan are as follows: dimensions - 90x90x25 mm, rotational speed - from 600 to 3700RPM, air flow within 10.3 to 63.51 CFM, noise level from 15 to 46.5 dBa.
Upon the copper base of the cooler there is a pre-applied layer of thermo paste which is protected by a large plastic lid.
Thus, there is a guarantee that on transportation the layer of thermo interface will not get smeared over the box. By the way, the box with the cooler looks like this:
There is nothing else inside but the cooler itself. The processing quality of the base is decent enough (although grinding traces are visible).
The very first start-up of the cooler was deafening: at the maximum speed, no comfortable work at the computer is possible. And we can't forcedly reduce the rotational speed - the fan has a 4-pin connector. As a result, reduction of the rotational speed is possible through the motherboard's features only. In fact, I don't think the user will ever have the need to reduce the rotational speed - even at the maximum speed the cooler fails to cope with cooling the Pentium4 660, and stable operation of the system under load is possible only due to the features in charge of protection against overheating embedded into the processor (Throttling and Thermal Monitoring 2).
Another problem of the cooler is in the design of the radiator: power air flow is simply reflected from the fan and directed upwards. That is easy to detect if you put your hand closer above the cooler.
Pros:
Cons:
- Inconvenient procedure for cooler removal;
- The cooler fails to cope with the job of cooling processors of clock speeds at 3.6 GHz and higher.
