Name Antec Solution Series CPU Cooler
Size over all
L/B/H
+++ 63/63/47 mm
The heatsink size isn't bigger than the Sockel.
Cooling output ++ 24,4 CFM (~5300 rpm)
Noise level - 40 dB (A)
I didn't expect this noise from such a small fan, but it's not too loud.
Listen to the sound:
Mounting ++++ They've decided to find a way how to mount and unmount the bracket
without any tool and indeed they did it successful.
This cooler have a big thumb latch which is very good arrested.
It's very easy to mount and unmount the heatsink and therefore this cooler gets
the maximum available points !
Cooling results +++ Nice cooling result.
Only 41° C at 1,75 V and 45°C at 1,90 Vcore with my overclocked Duron 700@1066.
General impression

+++ The 195 gramm lightweight from Antec have lot's of rugged aluminium fins and is
a full aluminium based heatsink with a bottom face like a mirror.
And i think the really rugged aluminium fins do their best to get a cool CPU.
May be a little bit more powerful fan with more than 30 CFM could push this cooler
to the Top 10 coolers.
But anyway a good result for such a small lightweight :-)

This fan is also fit for using with Peltier Element !
Many thanks to Antec for the Solution Series Testsample.
