Thermaltake Safari BX-01 BTX CPU Cooler Review

Unfortunately, as this is really the first (and unfortunately, maybe the last) BTX heatsink review, the Safari stands on its own. By that I mean that I don't know how it rivals the reference solution, or other marketed coolers. There is one thing I can tell you, though. The second you boot the PC, it's like somebody's slammed a NOS bottle hooked up to a Screamer. This fan gets frelling loud. Even as the fan spins down and you idle into windows, it still has a thick, powerful growl that's more than willing to turn into a whooshing whine at the first chance. In the endgame with all its Ups and downs, it came to a point where I'd rather listen to an infant cry next to my ear than hear this heatsink. Sorry folks!
