Today we are checking out the latest CPU cooler from Thermaltake, known as the Jing, and yes we know, yet another wacky sounding product. The name is derived from the Chinese, representing “Silence” and carrying with it the concepts of comfort, excellence and exquisiteness. So how silent, comfortable, brilliant and beautiful can a CPU cooler really be? Read on to find out...
The key focus of the Thermaltake Jing is to deliver an almost silent CPU cooler that still provides maximum cooling efficiency. Thermaltake claims that when the fans are wound down to just 800 RPM, the Jing puts out an almost inaudible 16 dBA. Despite this extremely quiet operating volume, the Jing is said to be able to cool processors capable of throwing out 200 watts of heat.
That said, given the size of the Jing we do not have trouble believing that claim. In fact the Jing heatsink is a similar size to that of the popular Thermalright Venomous X and Prolimatech Megahalems, both of which cost $60 US just for the heatsink alone. The Thermaltake Jing on the other hand sports a pair of impressive looking 120mm fans, each armed with fan speed controllers. More over, the universal socket design makes the Jing compatible with all currently available processors. However such a huge heatsink paired with dual 120mm fans cannot be cheap given the pricing of the competition. While the Jing may not be affordable, it is actually quite good value at $60 US given all it includes. Already this new Thermaltake product looks to deliver in terms of features and value, though we will be unable to determine its true value until we take a look at the performance figures. With that being said, let's first check out the Jing in more detail before seeing how it handles itself. |
