Silverstone
NT06-E - $55USD
The NT06-E is the premier compact cooler from Silverstone carrying a $55 price-tag.
It does not ship with a fan, but according to Silverstone, if there is a 120
mm power supply fan directly above it (as is the case with their Sugo
SG05/06), it can be run passively depending on the processor and fan
speed.
|
The NT06-E has a five heatpipe design and a bolt-thru/backplate
mounting mechanism.
|
|
The NT06-E is a "C" shaped cooler like the Shuriken,
but it's a fair bit taller and doesn't rely on pushpins for mounting.
It weighs in at 430 grams and sits 82 mm high. Unfortunately the addition
of a standard 120 mm case fan pushes it to 107 mm and 550 grams, which
simply won't work in most compact cases.
|
|
The fins are very thin at 0.34 mm, and they are tightly packed
with an average separation of 1.4 mm. It takes a standard 120 mm fan.
|
|
The NT06-E is easy to install on the LGA775 socket. A backplate
with screws goes on the back and thumbscrews finish the job topside.
|
|
As the NT06-E does not ship with a fan, we tested it with our
reference Nexus 120 mm fan. It is secured using 4 long black screws.

Thermal Rise: Temperature rise above ambient
at load.
°C/W: based on the amount of heat dissipated by the CPU (measured
78W); lower is better.
