CPUs run much cooler than they did just over a year ago. Be it AMD or Intel, looks like we can look forward to the days of less aggressive heatsinks now that thermals do not require obscene cooling. Then again, having a huge cooler does allow for a quieter system overall as the extra thermal dissipation area does not require a fan spinning at full speed to cool down.
That said, if you are still stuck with an older processor, namely the Prescott series of Intel chips, good cooling is still a must. Today we'll be checking out the Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler (CL-P0401) which was provided to us from our friends at Crazy PC. Not only is the V1 impressive to look at, but it is also versatile, compatible with almost any modern AMD or Intel CPU.
