Conclusion
Thermolab’s Baram 2010 has a UK price tag of approximately £35 Inc VAT. Although this would need to include an extra £10 or so as the cooler is not supplied with a fan, or if you want to follow Thermolab’s theory of having the ‘best performance at dual fan’, you’ll be spending near an extra £20 on two decent high static pressure fans, putting this cooler in the same price region of the Cogage Arrow.
Regardless of price, the Baram 2010 is a very nice and effective heatsink. You are supplied with kits for all current major Intel and AMD platforms which are as simple as pie to mount. The secure thumb screws and washers, and the included 4 fan clips for dual fans give the end user all they need for easy installation. Performance wise, we are quite pleased with the results as it handles our overclocked and over-volted system very well topping no higher than 74C. At first the Baram 2010 was no higher than 66C during the first few minutes ahead of the Cogage Arrow! However as time went on and the stress testing continued, the cooler couldn’t handle the heat much longer, but still ended up only 7C behind the leading cooler.
Overall, the Baram 2010 is a simple yet very effective heatsink and receives 8/10 with a Silver Award!
