Thermaltake BigTyp 14Pro is really a big cooler. Its performance is good, being able to cool down the cooler base by 8 oC and the core sensor measured by SpeedFan by 30 oC compared to the Intel stock cooler, when we had the CPU fully loaded. It looks v...
The BigTyp 14Pro had an excellent outcome with its test results. It can also be found currently on NewEgg for $66.99, which is not all that much seeing the how well it performed to some grueling tests. Although, the one downfall is the BigTyp 14Pro&rsquo...
Looks Nice, Better Than Intel Stock Cooling On the Q6600, Cover All Mainstream Platforms Excluding LGA 1366, Blue LED Lighting System, Decent Overclocking Result, Innovative Design
Covers a Lot Of Acreage, Not Really For Hardcore Overclockers, Little Pricey For The Performance But Priced Right For The Market Segment It Was Intended For
The Thermaltake Big Typ 14 Pro does a pretty decent job of cooling but its a mixed bag for us. We would have liked to see a LGA 775 back plate to avoid pressure points on the motherboard, but didnt have problems with board stress or damage. When mov...
Solid cooling performance, Built in fan speed controller, Can run quietly and still provide decent cooling, A big cooler that actually fit inside an HTPC, Can be modified to use a 92mm fan mounted below the cooling fins, 92mm underside mounted fan was quieter than stock fan, Load temperatures were lower with 92mm stock fan (blowing upward)
Loud at full speed, Advertised as "completely silent", which isn't true at any speed with included fan, Large wingspan could create interference issues in some cases
Overall the Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro is an impressive cooler ready to tackle the cooling duties of a gaming rig or an HTPC. It may be one of the widest coolers I have used, but its compact height makes it appealing for use in cases that are slimmer t...
Well performing at very low noise, no push-pin crappy mounting, not too ugly either.
Check your casing and mobo chipset heat sink clearance before mounting this monster The Better Big fans are less noisy - and yeah, size does matter Bartender's Verdict
The ability to cool a overclocked processor with no problem, The ability to cool the motherboard components around the processor socket, Easy to Install, Blue LED light looks incredible, Able to be installed on my different sockets
So large that it overhangs a motherboard, Tight fit when using anything other than a Full Tower type case, Having to remove the motherboard in order to install on a LGA775 socket
As with all heatpipe coolers the more heat you have to dissipate the better the cooler will work. For the TT BigTyp 14Pro this efficiency comes in several forms. The first is in the form of 6 (read 12) 6mm copper heatpipes. These heatpipes feed into...
Thermaltake made a few odd design choices with the BigTyp 14Pro that I have trouble understanding. The first and foremost is the size. The sheer footprint of the BigTyp 14Pro causes a variety of issues. Not only does it conflict with both the cooling ...
Abstract: After a somewhat lengthy hiatus of new product releases in the world of CPU cooling, Thermaltake has recently returned with a vengeance, launching several new products. We’ll be taking a look at a few of them in the next while, but today we’ll be exam...
Large 140mm fan, VR Fan controller, Decent cooling temperatures
Difficult installation for upper mounted motherboard cases, Loud fan on high speeds, Cheap material for fan, Expensive
Overall the Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro is a somewhat decent CPU cooler. There are a couple of flaws that I found in my installation to be quite annoying, but this might not be the case for all. It offers average load cooling rates and above average idl...
