[ad#review975-top]Today we have the opportunity to review one of four CPU Coolers in the Inspiration of Silent Gaming Cooling (ISGC) line of CPU coolers from Thermaltake. The ISGC-100 as well as the other three coolers offers a unique fan design which improves airflow and decreases noise. The ISGC also offers Hydro Dynamic Bearing (H.D.B.) Technology, a Copper+ Base and Sawtooth Fin Design. How will the first of four new CPU coolers perform? Read on further to find out.
Features
