Conclusion
This is one impressive piece of equipment. Its well engineered with quality parts right down to the screws and brackets. The concept of ‘thoughtfulness’ has been driven through from an installation and configuration point of view. The Riajintek cools our old core two duo 6300 down very well and does that with ease. A three degree temperature differential is nothing to be sneezed at and even when the price points are different (the TSIS being double the price of the Brocken) then we have a possible winner indeed and especially considering the price point.
However as usual there are the downsides. The most obvious is the sheer dimensions of the tower and fans make the installation of memory a difficult process indeed and one has to explore these options before purchase. However with a large heatsink on any product of this type, then this is always an issue. The only other issue was the lack of a ‘daisy chaining’ on the fans in order to only take up one fan port.
The Raijintek is one beast of a cooling solution and by our results it performs very well, also the nice extra touch of coating the entire tower with zinc, both helps the product to look good and protect the fins, unlike the Noctua D14
All in all a well thought out product.
Pros:
- Good protective packaging
- Quality accessories
- Zinc Coated
- Solid feel throughout (and we are not just talking about the weight)
- Interesting concept
- Great dual fans with the notched blades.
- Did we say quality? Then we will say it again Quality, Quality and Quality
- Performs very well
Cons:
- It could cause RAM spacing issues with your motherboard
- Lack of daisy chaining for the fans.
