Back in 2005 we got the opportunity to check out Vanessa L-type cooler from TITAN Technology Limited Company, which distinguishing feature was a heat column measuring 25 mm in diameter. After that not very successful attempt heat column technology wasn’t used in any of the coolers from other leading makers. Only 5 years later, in 2010, the German Noiseblocker Company decided to go back to this well-forgotten technology and launched their newest creation – TwinTec cooler - that offered a combination of heat column and heatpipe technology in one. Let’s find out what has come out of it.

Packaging and Accessories

The cooler ships in a relatively small black box covered in all sorts of information:

It contains all the details about the cooler, including the manufacturer warranty info:

The cooler is packed very nicely: the box is separated in two sections with the cooler and a smaller box with accessories inside:

The latter contains two retention kits for AMD and Intel platforms, universal retention screws with rubber washers, Noiseblocker NB-Silver thermal paste, four wire clips for the fans and an installation guide:

Noiseblocker NB-TwinTec cooler is made in Taiwan and costs around $65. It is interesting that, unlike most other cooler manufacturers, Noiseblocker offers a 6-year warranty with their cooler.
