Prolimatech Armageddon CPU Cooler Review

Conclusion

There are a lot of great things we love about this cooler. It performs very well using silent or high performance fans, the ability to mount two 140mm fans for push-pull, the great build quality and superb looks. Another thing we loved about this cooler was the mounting kit, in this reviewers opinion one of the best on the market with its ease of installation, but also very effective with lots of pressure. The slight issue we have though is its price. As mentioned earlier, the branding of Prolimatech has become a premium icon in the cooling business and thus a high price will have to be paid. That said £55 is £55. That is a lot of money for a CPU cooler with no fans. If you wanted to do as we did with two 140x25mm fans, in total you’d of spent in the region of £80. When an air based CPU cooler gets into those figures, you might as well opt for a low cost water cooling solution that will be just as quiet but above all more effective. If Prolimatech were ever to drop the price down by a decent £15 or include in their price an effective 140x25mm fan, then this cooler would get a well deserved Gold Award from us, but instead is awarded with high Silver and 8.5/10.
