Thermaltake Frio Advanced

Thermaltake Frio Advanced and Frio Extreme Review

Thermaltake is a name in this side of the computer world that everyone knows. Most likely, when it comes to naming off companies that manufacture heatsinks, fans, cases, power supplies, water cooling equipment, and even HDD enclosures and laptop coolers, Thermaltake is going to be one of the first three names that pop up in conversation. Additionally, when it comes to Thermaltake heatsinks, the name Frio lights up in our brains as well. The original Thermaltake Frio came to us over two years ago in 2010. Its performance was noteworthy for its price and many chose it for their own builds. About a year later came the Frio OCK, beating is predecessor by clear margins in cooling performance. Now, we are pleased to get our hands on two new Frio models: the Frio Advanced and the Frio Extreme. Both coolers are currently available, though the price difference is large at $59.99 and $99.99 respectively. The Frio Advanced is a single-tower cooler with five 6mm heatpipes and two 13cm fans, while the Frio Extreme is a dual-tower cooler with six 6mm heatpipes and two 14cm fans. Both support all recent sockets and are rated for 230W and 250W of heat dissipation.
