Thermaltake V1 Review
Features and Design
4 Chanel – Dual-VTM Architecture heatpipe cooling
V1 is equipped with four heatpipes which allow it to maximize the heat transference. Four heatpipes of total 963 mm in length seamlessly connect with dual V architecture fins to dissipate heat quickly and evenly from the heat source; a 110mm fan within the Dual-V architecture pushes its cooling performance to the maximum.
All Cooper construction for maximum cooling with extreme silence
V1 utilizes superb architecture design, full copper, and a low-RPM silent fan that allows it to provide maximum cooling performance while keeping the noise level at minimal. Also, the open architecture design contributes to the smooth airflow and the reduction of noise level.
The Thermaltake V1 is made of dual sets of copper fins in a ‘V’ layout, with a 110 mm fan that can be adjusted between 1300-200 RPM capable of moving airflow up to 86.5 CFM placed between the fins set in a vertical design. This CPU cooler’s 637 grams are relatively light, compared for example to Big Typhoon VX’s 822 grams.
The V1 features four independent copper heatpipes coming out of the base, of which two run across the bottom of the cooler and the other two run across the top. The bottom of the heatsink comes protected by a piece of transparent plastic, which we expect to come in most today’s CPU coolers.
The fan speed controller, differently from some of the latest Thermaltake’s CPU cooling-systems including the Maxorb and Big Typhoon VX, is not placed on the cooler itself.
