ARCTIC COOLING
COPPER SILENT 2 TC Revision 2
Main Features:
Temperature Control
The Copper Silent 2 TC uses a thermally regulated fan system. For regulation
the temperature of the heatsink is measured, which corresponds over a
correction curve directly with the CPU core temperature. In contrast to
the control over the air temperature the method used by arctic cooling
is more complex, but substantially more precise, which lowers average
noise levels and utilizes the temperature bandwidth of the CPU more effectively.
44 x 44 x 5 mm of Copper Plate
Contrary to heat sinks which use a copper core (copper poured inside
aluminium), for the Copper Silent 2 we use more material over the DIE
where high energy flows (copper plate) and in the external areas where
low energy flows, less material (only 5mm aluminium plate). Thus we achieve
a better efficiency, hence better cooling performance without increasing
the weight.
Tin Connection between Copper and Aluminium
The heat transfer of conventional copper cores onto aluminium is ensured
by thermal compound, which transfers the warmth extremely poorly compared
to metals. In contrast to this we use a super-thin tin film. This has
the advantage of approx. 25-times higher heat conductivity of tin compared
with the thermal compound.
Low Profile
Compared to the Copper Silent the cooling performance was improved,
without increasing the height of the heatsink or violating the height
restriction area defined by AMD. Thus compatibility is guaranteed for
all Socket A mainboards. Thanks to the reversed fan mounting, the relevant
airflow height of 56mm is kept low.
Extremely Quiet
The Second Revision of the Copper Silent 2 allowed for the ventilation
system to be reworked. The patented "reversed- hanging" fan is able to
practically eliminate the typical buzzing sound of 80mm fans.
Fan Mounting
The Fan has been mounted onto 4 Rubber supports to stop vibrations
being transmitted to the heat sink.
Clip
Owing to the screwdriver guidance and the joint both the installation
was simplified significantly as well as the de-installation and is now
even possible under extremely close space conditions in the PC Case.
Naturally the Copper Silent 2 TC utilizes all 6 hooks of the socket, which
leads as with our predecessor models to a low socket strain.
