Here at SilverStone Technology, we continue to pride ourselves in providing the highest level of standards in designing and manufacturing computer enclosures, power supplies, and accessories. Our pursuit for the first class aesthetic appeal is relentless; our teams of devoted engineers are constantly searching for the best technologies that suit end-users with different needs and will make our products as technologically sound as they are beautiful.

SilverStone Technology has been around for years and has amassed a rather large following thanks to many innovative and exceptional products. With a policy that revolves around perfect quality and outstanding design with a desire for customer satisfaction, it's not hard to see how they became as popular as they are. With many successful products, such as the Raven, Temjin, and Sugo cases, and a solid lineup for CPU coolers, fans, and power supplies, they have managed to stay relevant in an ever-evolving PC-hardware market. The Tundra Super Slim series is an example of that. An evolution of more traditional all-in-one liquid coolers, the Super Slim series makes them even thinner at just 37 mm vs. the more typical 52 mm or more. This series allows users to get better cooling in extremely tight and small cases.

It's been awhile since I have reviewed a Silverstone cooler. Today, we take a look at the Tundra TD03-SLIM. This 120 mm all-in-one liquid CPU cooler makes use of a slim radiator and fan to cut total thickness down to 37 mm. Geared toward systems where space is at a premium, it will be quite interesting to see how it holds up. So without further delay, let's take a closer look!
