Thermalright IFX-10 Motherboard Backside Cooler Review


Sun 2008-04-20 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Hardware Canucks has just reviewed the innovative Thermalright IFX-10 Motherboard Backside Cooler.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Unless you positively, absolutely need the ultimate in air cooling performance this may not be the wisest of investments. An extra thirty dollars can allow you to upgrade from a decent cooler to a very good one, which will give much improved cooling without the need for backside coolers. Don’t get us wrong, the InfernoFX-10 will improve your temperatures but if you need an extra couple of degrees cooling that badly maybe its time to step into the world of water cooling.”


While the IFX-10 does drop CPU load temperatures by 2-3°C, it is simply not worth $30. For that amount of money, you would be better off upgrading to a superior CPU cooler. By the way, this product is actually included with the Thermalright IFX-14 heatsink.
