At this point I may as well admit that it’s probably time to let go of my bias against top down coolers. Well, at least in the case of the SR1. This cooler breaks many of the rules of coolers in it’s class, and performs even as well as some...
The TopFlow SR1 finds itself rather lost among its competition, struggling to stand out. Its key feature is clearly its supposedly low-profile design, and to be fair if you're someone who can house its 126mm of height but not the 160mm plus of...
