Unique Looks, Manually adjustable speed, Really quiet Fan on low, Outstanding performance, LED fan (I’m a sucker for blue LED’s)
Fan is too loud on high
The V1’s unique design wasn’t something that appealed to me when I first saw it. It is still not something that I look at and think, yes that is sexy, but on the other hand it’s not something that I am repulsed by. However its design obv...
Looks Great, Amazing Cooling, What Else Do You Need
Might Be To Tall For Some Cases
Simply put I liked this cooler, to expand, I liked it a lot, and can you blame me. Between amazing good looks, and the sheer cooling power it would be hard not to like it. To be honest though I did have one small problem with it, and it’s not a prob...
Thermaltake has a great reputation in the cooling industry, and the V1 is a good example why. The V1 didnt set any cooling records, but it wasnt more than a couple degrees off in most tests. A big selling feature of the V1 is its looks, this is a sh...
Abstract: Thermaltake have assembled the V1 heatsink from two radial copper fin sections which look like they were once intended for a VGA thermal solution.
One of the best air-cooled heatsinks Ive ever tested is Zalmans CNPS-9700 NT (reviewed here), and the ThermalTake V1 achieves the same performance. The V1 certainly does better than other heatsinks in our test platform, and totally blows Intels OE...
Abstract: Our headline refers to the unusual shape and design of the V1 cooler. The V1 is Thermaltakes only vertical tower cooler, made entirely of copper and sporting a host of interesting features. How does it fare in the cool and quiet sweepstakes?
Beautiful copper finish, Elegant style, Simple mounting, Fan speed controller, Blue LED fan, Decent performance
High price tag, Fan is loud on "High" speed, Performance could be better
The Thermaltake V1 is a beautiful-looking copper cooler with a unique styling and elegant flair. The design of the V1 gives it such a unique look that I believe that will be one of its greatest selling points. The installation was as easy to perform as...
Performance, Silence, Does not require removing motherboard to install, Fan speed control.
Intel mounting hardware is plastic, Installation documentation is weak.
The Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler proved to be quite a challenge with the installation however the results of the performance testing made it more than worth it. When installing the V1 be sure to take note of the heat pipe location, one side sticks out fur...
The Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler has style, elegance, and blue LED’s. Mmm… Blue LED’s… It’s built with such style and artistic flair that it almost looks better just sitting on your mantle. Initially, we were concerned with the performance of such a “p...
Despite the Thermaltake name and the V1s appearance and initial testing performance I was left disappointed by this review. The quality is very good, the heatsink itself is well made and the design concept seems sound. Put a fan between two banks of c...
