I'm surprised to see how little newer coolers have evolved. My ancient Thermalright Venomous X is still within 2c of those.

Thanks for the review, guys.

About Frio Extreme: I still don't understand why all the companies trying to copy Noctua D14 unnecessarily? :pfp:

I've been saying similar things to myself about how coolers haven't changed in the past several years. And yes, that D14 copies are out there - however the Phanteks is the only one that's been done correctly: it's actually an improved copy
