Thermaltake Launch Next-Gen Overclocking CPU Cooler Frio OCK
Thermaltake, leading DIY thermal solutions brand, launch their newest and up to date most powerful CPU cooler, the Frio OCK. Continuing the legacy of the award winning original Frio cooler, the Frio OCK is yet once again setting new standards in the industry. With a whooping heat dissipation capacity of 240W this powerful cooler is clearly leading the pack. Targeting particularly power users and ambitioned overlcockers, the Frio OCK comes with six 6 mm high-efficiency heatpipes that effectively transport heat from the base into two separate cooling towers. By adopting this dual-tower design the gap between both towers increases airflow and ventilation created by the dual fans.
Frio OCK's design approach captures and embodies currently prevailing computer game elements, in particular the shape and color scheme is resembling a firm and powerful bunker as inspired by the popular PC game StarCraft II. In doing so, Thermaltake is trying to bring virtual game visuals into every-day life, resembling a manifestation of the fictional within the real.
The dual-fan module is not only unique by its looks, but furthermore offers several practical usage advantages. Both fans are designed to work in tandem as a push-pull-combination where one fan pushes cold air over the tower fins, while the other fan on the opposite site pulls out hot air and then exhausts it through the cases back side. A convenient single fan speed control knob adjusts both fans in parallel to guarantee optimized airflow and maximize cooling efficiency. The 130 mm high pressure OC fans can be tuned between 1200 RPM for normal operation and up to 2100 RPM in OC mode and under mission critical circumstances when in 24/7 operation.
As usual with top-notch Thermaltake products, particular attention is paid to ease-of-use, convenience and an overall satisfying user experience. Therefore the Frio OCK supplies a universal installation kit which is meant to keep users future ready for current CPU sockets, including the recently launched Sandy Bridge 1155 sockets. It probably has never been easier to become a true Overclocking King in your own right.

- Setting new standards? Uh, where?
- Leading the pack? Okay... heh, pack.
- Dual fan layout unique? Yeah, I've never seen that configuration before...
- TT products and top notch mentioned in a positive way in the same sentence?
- Overclocking king because of that cooler. Yeah... no.
I do, and I tell ya, while the style may not be on point for everyone, there are a few things in this cooler that companies will be copying. Pretty odd for a manufacturer of crap to be setting the bar isn't it? Although I guess those who talk through the rear end really cant see what they are talking about now can they;)
Like the two fans. Whats so unique about them? 130mm dimension? That doesn't make it unique.
Also, claiming that one would become OC king just because of that cooler well I dunno, seems a liiiitle bit too confident, no?
The cooler might even really be the best damn cooler there is, but the way TT advertises its stuff, I just can't take that seriously.
But I don't think of TT as a total crap company. They make pretty good PSUs, I have a few and they kick ass.
BTW got a link to this review?
i want to see it with a full 240w load on it personally this review doesn't test that. the noctua is still king i am more curious how a dual fan xiggy compares or maybe an old TRUE dual fan
i bet my modded CM V10 would destroy it in temps but it has a diff tec in it.
Also that review is poop, and with no mention of ambients I cant even compare any of his coolers to each other:D
it can be THE BEST cooler in the whole WORLD but there's no way in hell i'd buy it.
