Conclusion

As a conclusion to this review we offer you a summary diagram that compares the performance of the reviewed coolers:

All in all, summing up the obtained results I can say that Thermaltake did a great job on extending and enhancing its model range, although there is still way for further improvement, of course. I will refrain from detailed comments on the last summarizing diagram, since we have already discussed the results for each system individually in the corresponding sections of this roundup. Moreover, it is not quite correct to compare Symphony, for instance, against Silent Water cooling system, because these are very different solutions from the positioning, application and pricing stand points.

If we try to split the solutions into groups according to their price range, we will get three major groups. The first one will include Silent Water, Bigwater SE and Tribe, which demonstrated pretty much the same level of performance. The second group will be represented by Symphony, which is beyond all competition in this test. And finally, the air coolers will form the third group. The comparative performance analysis of the latter two proves very illustratively that regular coolers have no chances against solutions with heat-pipe technology.

However, if you are looking for something like Zalman 7700CU, you should definitely consider the new Orb from Thermaltake: the current price-to-performance ratio it offers makes it a great buy, especially for AMD Athlon 64 based platforms.
