All along, Hundred Dollars is an important price range for radiators. The radiators at this price point have enough performance and the price is relatively low, which is considered to be a relatively large amount of users.
Recently Coolcool Extreme launched a hundred-dollar artifact - T400i and T400, the former only need 99 yuan, but only supports Intel clips, the latter is 129 yuan, but it can support full-platform clips, and can expand the dual fan (with 2 fan brackets), players can buy on demand.
The following are the outer packagings of the two radiators. The difference in appearance is not significant.
The back of the package.
The side of the package.
The other side of the package.
Here's an example out of the box with the Blizzard T400i. (For example, for the T400, it's because I have AMD.)
The front of the T400i is packaged.
The back of the package.
Side parameter specification table.
Out of the box, the radiator and fastener accessories are placed separately, more scientific and reasonable.
The list of attachments for fasteners can be said to be very conscientious. There are back plates, metal buckles, silicone greases for individual needles, and 2011 fasteners, which can be said to be more than other radiators in the market at the same price.
The main body of the heat is sauce purple.
The radiator is a thin tower. The fins are printed with cool and cold LOGO. A total of four 6mm heat pipes are used. The heat pipe is not nickel-plated. It is said to be more environmentally friendly. Of course, the outer layer of the heat pipe has an antioxidant coating for oxidation resistance. Only the color is the same as the heat pipe, so it cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. The heat pipe and the fin are connected by a fin process.
The fan is fixed with a plastic fan frame, which is stronger than the steel buckle. The radiator has a total of 57 fins. Because the tower body is thin, it can easily be blown through.
Radiator base heat pipe direct contact form, for the bottom of the copper and heat pipe touch the base in the end which is better, the online debate is different, my view is that as long as the process used is mature, it is not very important to use the method.
The fan frame adopts snap-fastening, so it can be easily removed. The standard fan for the radiator is a 12cm12V0.32A PWM fan.
The T400i supports Intel buckles, namely 775, 115X, 1366, 2011, etc. The following uses the 1151 platform as an example to demonstrate how to install.
First install the clip bracket and fix it with two screws.
Attach the back plate to the back of the motherboard. Pay attention to the screws and the screw holes.
Tighten the four large studs on the front.
Close-up of large studs, rubber pads are glued on the upper and lower sides of the studs to prevent scratching of the motherboard PCB lines.
Then install the radiator and tighten the 4 screws.
Is the sauce purple.
Take a close-up look at the top.
Install the fan.
Look at the side, thin tower radiator and memory do not fight, praise +1.
It is in harmony with the entire platform.
Installed graphics card, you can see, and graphics cards do not fight.
Bake a machine to try radiator efficiency.
The CPU is I56600K ultra 4.5G, the baking machine software uses AIDA64 single hook FPU item baking machine for 10 minutes, 5 minutes clear screen, record the core temperature average between the 5-10 minutes. It can be seen that the core average temperature of the 6600K roasting machine exceeding 4.5G for 10 minutes does not exceed 60 degrees, and the T400 performance is still good.
to sum up:
Advantages: inexpensive, good materials, there is a backplane, a grease, a plastic fan frame, the installation is very convenient, performance is not bad.
Disadvantages: The color is relatively single, it is recommended to launch several other colors, and easy to match with the motherboard and other accessories.
General comment: The emergence of Blizzard T400i/T400 has made the 100-level radiator market a new choice. If you are tired of installing various “anti-human†heat sinks, then try the T400i/T400.
