Introduction

I would like to thank Zaward for supplying the review sample.

Several years ago, performance was all the rage. No one cared how loud their system was as long as it performed to the max, especially with their cooling solutions. Today that philosophy has changed, and users are demanding silence without compromising performance. Cooling companies are taking note, and coming out with their own versions of quiet and silent coolers. Zaward has recently announced the Twin Towers chipset cooler, which brings true silent cooling to current chipsets.
