Thermalright IFX-14 CPU Cooler Review
Posted by Regeneration on August 11th, 2008, 06:07 PM

The Thermalright IFX-14 is a very impressive cooler visually and performance-wise. I was truly amazed at the size of the cooler from the first moment I saw the box in which it comes in. Basically made from a twin tower design, the IFX-14 is like no other cooler I have seen. Thermalright never seizes to amaze me when it comes to building a first-to-market type of cooler. The IFX-14 besides being made of two twins it is kind of wicked looking as the fins resembles something like flames with their edgy border.

Performance from the IFX-14 is on par with the Ultra-120 from Thermalright as well. At idle we saw little difference in temps from the two. But the Ultra-120 edged it out when it came to the playing of games or running any type of stability test, basically when it came to putting a load on the CPU. But we have to report this was done using two fans in a push pull configuration.

The asking price for the IFX-14 will put it at the top end of this list. At $70, the IFX-14 is probably the most expensive air cooler you will find. But I must also mention this cooler comes in two parts. The IFX-10 side cooler adds to this price point. So, you are getting your money's worth. But then again you will have to add up to $15 or so for a fan for the cooler as well, two if you want maximum performance. The IFX-14 can add up to $100 after all is said and done.

If it's outperformed by the TRUE why bother with it?

This is slightly unfair for the intel stock cooler. It's capable of idling (at stock clock/vcore) 35-38c if dynamic control of the fan speed is disabled in the bios.
