The tower portion of the HAVIK 140 stands at 160mm and weighs 760 grams, without any fans. It consists of a copper base, 6 U shaped 6mm heatpipes and 46 aluminium fins. All areas are nickel plated to improve the finished look.
If we take a side on view we can see the 6 heatpipes exiting the copper base and extending above the 46 aluminium fins. The tip of each heatpipe is nickel plated which adds a nice shiny finish to the appearance of the HAVIK 140. With the heatsink laid on it's side we get a much better view of the heatpipes and nickel coated copper base.
The base of the HAVIK 140 has a machined finish so it might not appeal to the audience who love a polished surface. After our initial examination the base of the heatsink appears to be flat. The fan has 9 rippled blades and should be quiet, with a noise level rating of only 25 dBA. These fans come with a 90.3 CFM rating which is impressive if the fan is as quiet as they claim.
Impressive indeed. looks huge, but is it as good as D14? probably not.
And what about noisiness?
they are quiet for sure if I remember they are rated at 25dBA
Very good, looks great too. Better deal in US. UK is a rip off lately.
Looks as big as the D14? is it the same size or a bit smaller steve?
Looks like it will block memory slots though which I dont like. good review, thanks.
I don’t have a D14 to compare it to but I would estimate it is just about as large. it will block slots with high profile heatspreaders
The Havik looks good but it depends how it is priced in your country. In my country the Silver Arrow and the D-14 are cheaper. Idk why but that’s how it is.
Bt, when can we expect a review for Prolimatech Panther?
