Heatsinks are an essential part of a system for
enthusiasts. It is hard to choose the right one when you have
so many options available to you. There are many companies that
have taken air-cooling to the next level. Thermaltake is one of
those companies that come into mind when discussing heatsinks.
They have extensive line of processor coolers to choose from.
Today we will be taking a look at the Venus 12 HSF that claims
good performance and overclocking enhancements. Let’s see
if this HSF is worthwhile to purchase.
Accessories:
There were two fan controllers, one thermal sensor,
one installation guide, necessary screws, and a small pouch of
thermal paste.
Thermaltake has always included matching fan controllers
with every one of their latest heatsinks and the Venus 12 was
no different. Small bracket controller is made out steel with
the knob in the center and Thermaltake’s logo on the right.
Second controller that installs in a 3.5” drive bay is built
out of aluminum with the knob in the center and Thermaltake’s
logo on the knob. The aluminum controller is finely finished and
uses the color silver to add to its beauty.
All screws were included to properly install the
heatsink and the controllers. Thermal sensor and the compound
were added to closely measure and control the temperatures. The
manual, as always, was easy to understand and follow.
