SilenX iXtrema 120mm Copper CPU Cooler Review

December 1st 2004 | Cooling

This review will focus on a new product from SilenX, one of the most well established names in PC cooling and overclocking. They are best known for their line of quiet and cool running power supplies, as well as their heatsink designs, which also focus on optimal thermal management and low noise levels.

SilenX’s iXtrema 120mm Copper CPU Cooler just hit the market. As you can see by the picture, the product is quite large and those who know their heatsinks can easily infer that this visual representation indicates a high level of performance. With a retail price of $49.95, the SilenX iXtrema is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive fan on the market.

…My test results were obviously impressive as 2.5GHz was an amazing improvement over the stock CPU frequency. The SilenX iXtrema is certainly an effective cooling fan and is far superior to other products I have used. Even as I approached the overclocking limits of various system components, the SilenX iXtrema wasn’t being pushed to its full potential and the fan noise could not be distinguished over the 80mm Zalman and PSU fans. This setup is definitely recommended for those looking to squeeze every last drop of performance from their system.
