SilenX EFZ-120HA5 CPU Cooler

For a while now, SilenX has mostly been off the radar of enthusiasts, as the company's focus has been primarily on silent coolers and not on extreme performance cooling. Today we are looking at the EFZ-120HA5 which is a silent cooler with triple direct touch 6mm heatpipes and is listed as LGA 2011-compatible, which means we can have a new X79 system without the noise associated with a performance cooler. With a price tag of $32.99 presently this could be quite the bargain for anyone looking to build a new quiet high performance system. Now let's take a look at the performance and quality of the cooler as we get it installed. The packaging for the SilenX cooler is well laid out with some key specs and marketing language with a cutout so we could see the cooler before ever even opening it. The internal support is a plastic clamshell style which contains all of the components, and everything looked like it would stay in place no matter the shipping condition. The clamshell also helps contain all of the accessory pieces very well as the plastic is molded to hold all of the accessories in place.
