SilverStone NT06-PRO CPU Cooler
The SilverStone NT06-PRO is a very good cooler, with flexibility as the main highlight. It performed nicely in the suggested configuration (fan under the heatsink, blowing upwards), but you can mount it with the fan over the heatsink (gaining clearance under the heatsink, but increasing its total height), or even running it with two fans for maximum performance.

SilverStone has seized a near total victory with its Nitrogon Series NT06-Pro CPU air cooler. When compared to the Thermalright AXP-100, the SilverStone NT06-Pro offers more configuration options, better thermal performance at all levels tested, and is being sold for less. The only area the NT06-Pro did not win outright was our sound test and of course for a SFF system or HTPC system this may be a big point of contention.

Silverstone tente de percer le marché des ventirads avec le NT-06 Pro, mais malheureusement, le résultat n'est qu'en demi-teinte. En effet, ce dernier supporte mal la comparaison avec notre ventirad de référence, le NH-L12 de Noctua. Le ventirad...

Avec le NT06-P, ou Pro, SilverStone fait un retour fracassant dans le top-flow. Vendu environ 60€, il se place en haut du panier tarifaire, tout en proposant un gabarit compact, parfait pour les petits boitiers. Mais surtout, les performances sont...

O SilverStone NT06-PRO é um bom cooler, tendo a flexibilidade como maior atributo. Ele teve um bom desempenho em sua configuração sugerida (ventoinha embaixo do dissipador, soprando para cima), mas pode ainda ser montado com a ventoinha sobre o...
