Thermaltake ISGC-100 CPU Cooler Review

Real-time pricing for Thermaltake CLP0537.
Thermaltake ISGC 100 Universal CPU Cooler - Socket LGA775/AM2/AM2 92mm Fan CLP0537
TigerDirect: $44.99 CompUSA: $44.99
PC Connection: $43.09 PCUniverse: $37.35

Conclusions

Thermaltake ISGC-100 is a very quiet cooler and can be installed on SFF (Small Form Factor) cases. Besides this we could not find any good thing to say about it.

It cooled our CPU a little better than Intel stock cooler under full load, but in idle state its performance was worst than Intel stock cooler. We were expecting more from it, because of its heatpipe design, copper base and a 92 mm fan. And not forgeting that, according to the manufacturer, this fan can offer 15% more airflow than "common" CPU coolers. But even with all this features its cooling performance was awful. It does not have a "cool" looks and it is not easy to install on Intel CPUs.

But the worst thing is its price, too high for the achieved performance. We can find cheaper options with better cooling performance and still producing a low noise level. So we cannot recomend this cooler, unless you have a SFF, a low TDP processor and you are only looking for a cooler that is quieter than the cooler that comes with the processor.
