Thermaltake NiC C4 CPU cooler @ PureOverclock

Heatsinks are created to keep your processor cool and also designed to fit a pre-determined form factor.  This is one reason why OEM coolers are quite small and the aftermarket ones are just the opposite.  Well as heatsinks got larger and more universal they created a problem with memory clearance.

Most companies took the easy way out and built their coolers to allow standard height memory to fit under the fins and let's face it when was the last time you bought a standard height memory module? 

“We all probably know the name Thermaltake. They’ve been around for quite some time now and make cases, power supplies, GPU coolers, CPU coolers, and a ton of cool accessories. They’ve been taking the CPU cooler market by storm in recent years with their Frio line of coolers. They recently released their Water 2.0 series of AiO cooling systems as well. Their latest entry into the CPU cooler market is the NiC series which consists of four models – the F3, F4, C5 and the cooler we’ll be looking at today – the C4. NiC stands for non-interference cooling and the main goal was to provide performance and maximum RAM compatibility. Let’s take a closer look.”

I tested the NiC not to long ago and determined it works as advertised but does lack a little in the cooling department.
