TOUGHAIR 510 CPU cooler (CL-P075-AL12BL-A), from Thermaltake
With asymmetric aluminum fins, four direct-touch heat-pipes, and dual 120mm high static pressure fans in push-pull configuration, this CPU air cooler supports Intel / AMD processors up to 180W, keeping your powerhouse running cool and stable even in the heat of gaming.
TOUGHAIR 510 is a single tower duel fan designed air cooler with 4 heat pipes running through the fins, the U-shape heat pipes increase heat circulation creating better heat dissipation in your system and supports up to 180W.
Enhanced 120 mm high static pressure Fan
TOUGHAIR series utilizes high static pressure fans, which leverages the TOUGHFAN 12 design and boosts the fan speed to 2000 RPM, providing a new level of cooling performance to our CPU cooler.
The fin is designed with an asymmetric structure that allows larger air intake through the fins. This design lowers the air turbulence and straightens out the airflow making it easier to disperse heat from the fins, delivering superb cooling performance.
4 x Ø6 mm heat pipes directly touch the CPU and thermal paste. The U-shape design creates perfect circulation for better CPU cooling performance.
TOUGHAIR Series are designed to fit Intel and AMD sockets including the following models:
- Intel LGA 1200/1156/1155/1151/1150
- AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2/FM1
Pros: Looks cool Pretty easy to set up
Cons: Despite the ease in installing the fans I installed both fans backwards. Think instead of venting heat, I'm pulling heat in... so I'm thinking some clarification in the manual is needed.
Overall Review: The whole unit looks super cool, but is beyond bulky. It's added heft makes managing the power cords/pins and whatnots a nightmare even with small hands and long fingers. Beware the top left corner! But the motherboard I chose is partially to blame because it also had some bulky bits that made a tight corner even tighter. Combined though! My his knuckles scrapped and the back of his hand torn up. Blood sacrifices were made and I cleaned up the chunks of flesh that got wedged into the supper cool looking thermal core. Also draw back, the bulkyness of the unit blocks the first of the secondary ram slots. So I guess when I do a RAM upgrade, I'm upgrading my first two sticks with no thoughts of ever have 4 sticks of ram. Not unless I want to make an offering of my own... ...I need another helper.
