Puget Systems Description

The tower CPU Cooler "Tranquillo" uses 4 power heat pipes in a special configuration to achieve best-in-class heat transfer from CPU core to the aluminum fins. A unique heat sink shape was created to lower air flow resistance as much as possible, and a silent 120mm fan with the intelligent PWM (pulse width module) control has been chosen to make this heat sink as effective as possible. The fan blades were optimized to guarantee high airflow and the PWM curve keeps the fan silent when little cooling is needed - but accelerates the fan speed whenever additional cooling is needed.


Puget Systems Professional Advice
Jon Bach (President) Says:
We considered over a dozen coolers with highest reviews, and brought in 6 for testing. This CPU cooler was the quietest, most secure, and cooled the best. We even built up a computer, packaged it up, and simulated shipping damage to see how the cooler would hold up. It did very well. I highly recommend this CPU cooler for quiet operation. For even higher performance cooling (with a tad bit more noise), you should consider the Puget Hydro CL3 instead.

John D. (Production Technician) Says:
Here's a great air cooling solution for Intel CPUs. A large heatsink surface allows the fan to spin slowly for very low-noise operation, even on hot processors. Mounting for Intel boards is very secure and inspires confidence. Highly recommended.

Brett Nordquist (Customer Service) Says:
Yes, it's big, but it's quiet and provides excellent cooling for your Intel CPU. But you can find a number of CPU coolers that provide the basics. What sets this one apart from many is how securely it attaches to the motherboard. I know it's not going to move unless I want it to, and the peace of mind is worth the extra cost when factoring in the top notch cooling.
