Spire Fourier IV CPU Cooler
 |
Introduction:
“Overclocking with a fan? You must be crazy.” Those would be the words said to me if I were to overclock a quad core just a few years ago, however, today it is perfectly plausible, in fact, I will be attempting to do that with the Fourier IV cooler from Spire. Will this cooler stand up to the challenge of maintaining my 50% overclock? How will it compare to the Thermaltake SE Water Cooling system? Read on and find out.
First Impressions:
There are several things that should be said about this cooler that are worth noting. First off this is a large and heavy cooler therefore just because of the size, it should have excellent passive cooling capabilities. If you are running a Penryn design processor the fan that is attached to this heatsink will not be needed.
Second thing to notice is the cooler’s design. Unlike the traditional coolers that have the fan mounted on the top blowing the air down on the processor heatsink, the Fourier IV has the fan on the bottom and sucks the air in from the bottom and disperses it throughout the case.
