Titan has been part of the industry for some time, having originally been founded in 1989 as Sogic Computer Co Ltd in Taipei. They changed their name to Titan Computer Co Ltd in 1992. Utilizing their diverse product portfolio including VGA coolers and fans, they have expanded to every corner of the world. Titan has since continued to flourish because of their bi-monthly release schedule and R&D team.

Having been around for over two decades, Titan also continues to impress with various products. Case in point is the award winning Fenrir that has been a big claim to fame with enthusiasts the world over. It offers exceptional performance and helped cement Titan's legacy as a top-tier manufacturer. Proving so popular as to receive new revisions, this cooler continues to be an excellent choice today. With products like the Fenrir, it's no wonder Titan has enjoyed a great deal of popularity over the years, and they have not sat idle either as they continue to innovate and provide new designs for nearly every niche in the market.

I am reviewing Titan's Dragonfly 4 CPU cooler today. It is a slim single tower that makes use of a slim 120 mm PWM fan, which leaves an incredible amount of room around the CPU socket for memory with tall heatsinks, even on LGA2011. It will be interesting to see the kind of cooling performance the Dragonfly 4 can provide with such a small heatsink.

Packaging & Contents

Titan's Dragonfly 4 CPU cooler comes bundled in what can only be described as a tiny box measuring in at roughly 12.7 cm in length, 9.5 cm in width, and 18 cm in height. The front of the box presents the cooler itself and lists a few features, including its ability to cool up to 160W, no blocking of the motherboard DIMM slots, its Titan extreme fan with a minimum RPM of 150, and the ability to utilize two fans. The left side lists many of the processors the Dragonfly 4 is capable of cooling. While this list is not the definitive support list, it is still fairly extensive. The back of the box lists its feature set in various languages and gives a brief overview of the cooler's specifications.


The right side again lists the Dragonfly 4's features, but pairs them up with fully colored images. The top of the box has Titan's logo and the Dragonfly 4 name printed on it, in bold font.

The Dragonfly 4 is offered very little protection by its packaging. A simple piece of cardboard is used to hold the base in place, which keeps it from sliding around. No other protective materials are used, but its current packaging should prove adequate because of the cooler's thin design.


Titan's Dragonfly 4 supports all modern sockets by Intel and AMD. The mounting hardware, which is predominately universal in its design, is fairly straightforward. The included directions and tube of thermal paste are everything a user needs to install this cooler. Titan even included an extra set of fan clips, so users can improve cooling performance by buying another slim fan - nothing truly earth-shattering to see here.
