Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Bronze Award

Thermaltake BigTyp 14Pro is really a big cooler. Its performance is good, being able to cool down the cooler base by 8 oC and the core sensor measured by SpeedFan by 30 oC compared to the Intel stock cooler, when we had the CPU fully loaded. It looks very cool (in both senses), giving your system an "extreme cooling" looks, thanks to its 14 cm fan, the acrylic cage and the three blue LEDs.

Noise level with the fan adjusted to low speed is low, but not imperceptible. With the fan at is maximum speed the performance is even better, but the noise is very annoying.

But the big problem with this cooler is the difficult installation with Intel CPUs (unless your case have a window on the motherboard tray that gives access behind the place where the CPU is installed on the motheboard) besides the fact that it won't fit in small cases.

It is average priced compared to other high performance coolers, and you will get a performance similar to other good products on the same price range. So, buying this product depends more on your personal taste, how much you liked its looks and if you have a full tower case.
