Thermaltake Launches Jing Silent CPU Cooler
Thermaltake, leading DIY thermal solutions brand, launch their latest CPU air-cooler specifically developed for silent operation while maintaining a maximum of cooling efficiency, the Thermaltake Jing. Its name is derived from the Chinese, representing "Silence" and carrying with it the concepts of comfort, excellence and exquisiteness. The universal socket support makes it compatible to all computer processors currently available on the market. With a maximum cooling capacity of up to 200W and an almost un-audible noise level of 16 dBA at a fan speed of 800 RPM, the Jing CPU cooler is the ideal solution for noise sensitive users expecting uncompromising performance.
Unlike traditional up-side-down air flow designs, the Jing utilizes a tower side-flow design to optimize cooling performance. To attain maximum cooling performance, Thermaltake's Jing adopts 5 Φ6mm high-efficiency heat-pipes conducting heat from the Nickel coated mirror base directly into the cooling tower which is made of 41 0.5 mm thick specially designed aluminum fins to increase the overall thermal dissipation area. The two preinstalled extra silent 120 mm VR fans can be manually adjusted between 800RPM and 1300RPM according to differing user needs. Through their inhale-exhaust reverse fan design a greater airflow is achieved resulting in enhanced thermal performance.
By utilizing a particularly thin fan enclosure frame which is open to all four sides, noise generated by the airflow is reduced as much as any possible. Additionally a recess in the cooling fins at the entry and exit points of the airflow creates something similar to an air-cushion, giving the air an optimized angel to stream into between the cooling fins while at the same time reducing noise development even further. All of these measures make the Jing CPU cooler Silent by Design.
The Thermaltake Jing CPU cooler is available at a suggested retail price of US$59.99.

The fans are easily replaced and the green part on top is removed by taking out a few screws.
It isn't a bad cooler. It handles my i7 @3.6ghz fine and i'm sure it would handle it at higher speeds but i'm very picky about temps.
Essentially what iam saying is if two adjacent fans are blowing air in opposing directions will there not be trapped heat in the center of the heatsink and hence cause the temps to rise.
I would say watch the video if you don't understand how that works.
EDIT:
Friggin onedub is a bitchin' ninja.....:laugh:
EDIT: they dont even use the same cooler under all the plastic;)

And holding its own is just a nice way of saying this doesn't suck that bad.
The fact that you consider all solid bases the same says a lot about your level of ignorance regarding air coolers.
@seenkypeet: Any proof that the Jing is more efficient than the Frio. Alot of people with selective reading around here. :)
Funnily enough on Frio's presentation video they've displayed it mounted on a cpu and not on some heated piece of metal.
Please get your facts straight, learn some proper English and manners and come back with something half decent.
Yes it's not precisely like sticking it on a cpu but guess what it still does the job! You get a comparison between coolers with precisely the same thermal load.
Did no one else get taught how to do scientific experiments ?
*edit* I was really expecting this to be a frio with different fans, after some image comparison it's nice to see TT not being cheap for once XD Although I still feel they could do even better and adjust the fin layout some what : ]
Scientific yet worthless. Wanna know why: because every cpu is different from another and assuming all could be simulated through a uniformly heated piece of metal is scientifically wrong and secondly a real cpu doesn't spread its heat uniformly because the cpu die is much smaller compared to the ihs.
Although I'm pretty sure most won't get it heres how real heatsink testing looks like:
lab501.ro/racire/arhitectura-hdt-intre-dezamagire-si-miracol
Oh just someone intelligent. My business is the non stupid.
Also it's not worthless you are measuring thermal performance, that is it.
You don't need a CPU to measure thermal performance.
Hell you can test the thermal performance of a heat-sink by heating up a metal block to obscene temperatures sticking it on the heat-sink and seeing how long it takes before its safe to pick up ( I use my heat-sinks to cool down things I've welded/cut sometimes lol)
As-long as the comparison is there ( it is) that's all that is necessary, that they all receive the exact same thermal load spread across the exact same area makes this an extremely fair and accurate way of measuring thermal performance.
My only gripe with it is that they should have a "over-clocked" heat as well ( I didn't spot one, could be trippin') Since heat-pipes are often designed with a specific heat range in mind ( to hot and to cold turns them into regular pipes)
If I were in a lab this would be how I would test thermal performance, not by using a heat source that has inconsistent thermal out-put.
That would be stupid, and if I submitted those results to say a manager or another company I'd probably loose my job or get a talking to at the very least.
*edit* Thought I'd let you know that heat-sink manufacturers do infact test on hot-plates before they test on actual CPU ;)
And considering the v-10s price the review ranks it lower than many other coolers.
Out of the coolers that tweektown have tested it is in fact 7th.
Oh by the way, heatsink testing! Super controlled.
Whats the point of super controlled testing if the results don't reflect reality. I want to see actual cpus, thermal paste imprints, positioning tests, stock settings and overclocked ones. Also an apples to apples fans testing.
