    Cooling Thermalright SI100 vs Noctua L12 Ghost Edition

    I purchased the Thermalright SI100 CPU cooler and decided to compare its cooling performance against the Noctua L12 Ghost Edition both fitted with a variety of 120x25mm fans. Without a fan mounted, the Thermalright SI-100 at 74.8mm, is 8.8mm taller than the Noctua L12 GE at 66mm. As a reminder...

    Sliger S610 Air Cooling Case Options
