The Amanda TEC is equipped with two 92x92x32mm fans for intake and exhaust.

 

According to the specs, the fans rotate at 1500rpm and produce 20dBA of noise. The airflow created at this rather low rotation speed is strong thanks to the thickness of the fan (32 millimeters as opposed to the standard thickness of 25 millimeters).

I found the specifications of the fan by its marking, TFD-9232L12Z, at the Titan website. It has a rotation speed of ~1800rpm and creates airflow of 34.56CFM. According to the mainboards’ monitoring tools, the average rotation speed of the cooler’s fans was 1680rpm during my tests which is below the figure declared in the fan specs but a little higher than in the cooler specs.

The fans are fastened to the heatsink with four screws through soft spacers to reduce vibration and noise:

Against my expectations, the quality of the cooler’s base turned to be not very high:

Yes, it is flat, but where is the mirror shine I used to see on other coolers from Titan? There are even two small scratches (I made the photo before installing the cooler, so that was no fault of mine). Such small defects could be seen on the bases of both cooler models, for LGA775 and for Socket 754/939/940.
