Conclusion

Well, we have every reason to recommend Thermaltake CL-G0003 to all of you who are willing to make the system as quiet as possible. Of course, if you own a high-end solution such as RADEON X850 XT/X800 XT or GeForce 6800 Ultra/GT, this will not be your choice. CL-G0003 will not cope with cooling of such powerful graphics accelerators. But there is a more powerful solution that Thermaltake is offering today for the top-of-the-line graphics cards: CL-G0009, which is bigger in size and transfers the heat outside the system case via additional heatpipes and a copper heatsink.

Highs:

• Noiseless operation;
• Large cooling surface;
• Two heatpipes;
• Highly efficient with additional external cooling;
• Relatively lightweight.

Lows:

• Complicated assembly and mounting procedure;
• Low efficiency in passive mode;
• No compatibility information for different graphics cards models in the manual.
