| 8.4 | The Zerotherm BTF92 Overclocker Edition is a solid performing heatsink based on a 92mm fan. It has an extremely unique style and is loaded with copper throughout its construction. Amazingly Zerotherm has managed to work the heatpipes into eight effective pipes and still could fit it in a compact base. The included fan controller has a long cable on it that lets the user mount it anywhere it is needed, and the controller helps to keep the fan down to a quiet level when high performance is not required. When the fan controller is turned up to high the story changes a little. The fan becomes very noisy, although it is still not the loudest fan in the test group. Another issue with the fan is that it is a proprietary fan that uses a special bracket to mount to the BTF92. If the fan were to quit working a traditional fan could not be used in its place. Also, the shiny copper base was not quite flat due to the milling process used to produce it. I would gladly have traded the shine for a more flat base, which would mean more improved contact area. Overall the Zerotherm BTF92 Overclocker Edition is a stylish heatsink that performs great. If you love an all-copper heatsink and need a smaller 92mm sized one, this cooler should be on your list. |
