Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 TC

Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2 TC ... sinks which use a copper core (copper poured inside aluminum), the Copper Silent 2 uses more material over the DIE where high energy flows (copper plate) and in the external areas where low energy flows, less material (only 5mm aluminum plate). Thus a better efficiency is achieved, hence better cooling performance without increasing the weight.

The heat transfer of conventional copper cores onto aluminum is ensured by thermal compound, which transfers the warmth extremely poorly compared to metals. In contrast to this the Copper Silent 2 uses a super-thin tin film. This has the advantage of approximately 25-times higher heat conductivity of tin compared with the thermal compound.

Compared to the Copper Silent the cooling performance was improved, without increasing the height of the heatsink or violating the height restriction area.

The Copper Silent 2 TC uses a thermally regulated fan system. For regulation the temperature of the heatsink is measured, which corresponds over a correction curve directly with the CPU core temperature. In contrast to the control over the air temperature the method used by arctic cooling is more complex, but substantially more precise, which lowers average noise levels and utilizes the temperature bandwidth of the CPU more effectively.

The Copper Silent 2 TC utilizes all 6 hooks of the socket, which leads as with the predecessor models to a low socket strain.
