Real-time pricing for Thermaltake CL-P0456.
Thermaltake CL-P0456 BigTyp 14 Pro Quiet Copper Heatpipe Universal CPU Cooler for Intel LGA775 AMD AM2 AM2 and Socket 939 Electronics LGA775 AM2 939
Amazon: $64.99 Newegg: $64.99

Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Although having a simple design, Akasa Nero showed to be an excellent CPU cooler. Its cooling performance was slightly better that Thermaltake BigTyp 14Pro with its fan at full speed, with the big advantage of being quieter and cheaper. Compared to the Intel stock cooler, its performance was highly superior.

Nero has a very conservative looks for current standards with its black fan, no LED's and a discreet (but big) heatsink.

Noise level is, with no doubt, one of the strong points of this cooler. With the CPU idle it is almost inaudible, thanks to the very low fan rotating speed. With the CPU fully load the speed triples, beind audible but still at a very confortable level.

Its installation is simple, although we had to apply a lot of pressure to attach it to the motherboard. Other good point is the easy fan removal, which helps when you need to make your periodic cleaning.

With all this strong points and costing less than other coolers with similar performance, we are really happy to give Akasa Nero cooler our Golden Award seal.
