There are, no doubt, literally hundreds of CPU cooling options on the market and pricing can vary widely. The Thermaltake Frio is positioned at a price point ($59.99 USD Suggested Retail) that falls in the middle of the CPU cooler market. The Frio’s performance makes the price a bargain when compared to other high end CPU coolers on the market. Something else to consider along the line of pricing is the fact that the Frio comes with all the necessary hardware needed to install it on all the current CPU sockets on the market. The inclusion of two 120mm fans just adds to the value of the Frio. There is no additional cost of having to buy fans or backing plates which are not included on some other high end CPU coolers, all the goodies are included with the Frio.
Pros
- Complete set of accessories including two 120mm fans.
- Easy Installation which can be easily altered for the paranoid amongst us!
- Single and dual fan push/pull installation options
- Beautiful aesthetics, pleasing to the eye.
- Great build quality.
- Price.
Cons
- Fan speed knob/dial should have a longer cable or PCI bracket option for easy access.
- Depending on application, alternative mounting options not in the instructions may be necessary.
If your looking for a major upgrade to stock CPU cooling without a major price tag, the Thermaltake Frio should be on your short list. Considering the price, performance, build quality, and bundled accessories it is easy to give the Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler an Overclockers Tech rating of 9/10 and our gold award.
