Raijintek Pallas Low-Profile CPU Cooler Review ‹ Hardware-360

Despite the fact that newer processors require less power to operate, thermal concerns are still an issue to consider because a smaller area can have more current flowing at a given time compared to older and larger fabrication designs. This is especially true when overclocking the latest Intel Haswell processors which are more difficult to tame thermally compared to Intel Ivy Bridge processors with the same voltage applied. Coupled with the fact that user demands are shifting towards smaller and more compact system builds with the rise of Steam box’ popularity, cooling solutions that do not take up too much space are most welcome.
