ThermalTake Volcano II Review Processors are getting hotter day by day. As the speeds increase so does the heat output from modern day processors. Suddenly CPU cooling products have climbed up a notch or two on the importance list for everybody. Whether you are overclocking or not, having a CPU cooler that keeps your CPU nice and cool is very important. The average life of a CPU can be elongated by keeping it nice and cool as opposed to hot and toasty.
Most cooler designers opt for the brute force method.
Where they take the biggest heatsink and the biggest fan and combine them to great effect. Now there is nothing wrong in that except, bigger is not better always. There are space constraints that plague most people, and lets not forget the noise. Sure the Globalwin FOP-38 is nothing short of an astounding product, but it is tall and might not fit in all cases, and it's loud, which is the number one deterrent for most people. I have known a lot of people go for a slightly inferior product just because it emits less noise.
