Optimal size
Thermaltake Contac 21 belongs to a new class of compact and cheap CPU coolers called small towers. Other representatives of this class are Zalman CNPS5X Performa, Xilence M403 and be quiet! Pure Rock Slim.
heavy wind
Despite the relatively small height of the radiator (14 cm) and the fan diameter (9 cm), Thermaltake Contac 21 is capable of dissipating 140 W of heat, that is, the same amount as full-sized towers like the Deepcool GAMMAXX 300 of similar cost. This was achieved by increasing the number of heat pipes from three up to four and an increase in the maximum speed of rotation of the impeller from 1600 to 2400 rpm. At maximum speed, the fan emits a buzzing noise (30 dB) that is clearly distinguishable against the background of other PC components. In addition, the sleeve bearing of the fan is less durable (30K operating hours) than the hydrodynamic ones.
Different equipment
However, if you install Thermaltake Contac 21 on a less hot processor (Kaby Lake or Ryzen with TDP 54 – 95 W), then the fan will rotate at half speed, while remaining very quiet. In addition, versions of this cooler with a mount for AM4 motherboards are already starting to go on sale (check the availability of this part before buying).
