When shopping for a heatsink to keep that processor nice and cool, the amount of choices offered by various manufacturers can get quite overwhelming. Titan is almost certainly not among the names that first come to mind. In fact, I had never heard of them until recently. The company has been designing and manufacturing cooling products since the early 1990's, so while they are new to us, they definitely have experience in the cooling department.
They chose to make their entry in the consumer market on our continent with the Fenrir, a tower heatsink. It feaures four U-shaped, 8mm heatpipes and direct touch technology. That means the heatpipes actually make contact with the processor so the heat can be dissipated quicker. The design is similar to other coolers offering very good performance so it'll be interesting to see if this newcomer can stand out.

EDIT: so how does this match up to the fenrir? according to some guys review on that page, his i7 is at about 40 degrees, and this thing does a little more than 100 CFM on full power. which is better?
Reviews done by customers on NewEgg and any other retailers are often far from accurate. With that said, 40C under load is impossible for an air cooled Core i7 and the noise generated by a 100 CFM is nowhere near tolerable
However, aren't all of those on load temperatures pretty high? I mean 68 degrees at load on the stock sink seems mighty high. What is the unsafe temp level for CPUs? I would also assume OCing to 3.8ghz should be done with water cooling, but 77deg? That seems dangerous... Let me know the error of my ways
yes i could see that but i wasnt sure if the other fans that were being compared were one of the best or not.
well i think it might be possible if you have a strong and cool airflow in your case. that way, the 101.2 CFM the CPU cooler pushes would be cooler air, and hence be better at dissipating. and i think the cooler was at thirty something for the noise level. either way, i dont mind such noises. i like them (im not crazy...im special
Believe me, it isn't
I'll try to get a noise meter for the next review
hey zertz, regarding you and the other reviewers who post here, when you guys first had one or two posts, i just thought you guys were just more new members. you guys should have some kind of tags to go along with the users, like (reviewer) or something.
