Oh how I wish you included any of the Phantom Spirit coolers, or ID-Cooling Frozn A720 in your charts. Those truly give Noctua run for their money.
Anyway, have you ever considered testing your coolers by combining them with aftermarket fans? Like, I would really like to know how would G2 perform with a pair of Shark Force 140s, or a pair of SF Megacool 140s. Off the record I mean, I don’t expect you to include that kind of tests in your regular reviews. No doubt that would make testing process an absolute nightmare to complete.
I am waiting for TR to send me some of their coolers. Hopefully soon.
I have seen 3 reviews so far, and the fins rattle at full speed. What a joke from Noctua, 150€ for what?? The fan design is a copy/paste from a car fan radiator(peugeot 308), I just don’t see the value here(plastic washers, metal bits, an extra heatpipe, etc), maybe that screwdriver is the most expensive thing, it’s a trend these days for overpriced screwdrivers.
Excellent review very easy to follow and understand it, well done.
I’m leaning towards the G1 at apx 120 eur rather G2 at 180 eur.
I would really like to buy from a European brand, and i like the esthetic.
However, these are not made far away from TR factory…. Would expect made in Europe for this price.
Still, TR phantom spirit is 60 eur.
Oh! I’m very interested to learn where the Noctua and Thermalright coolers are made. Can you share your source?
I don’t have a clue 🙂
Noctua’s heatsinks are made by Kolink
