At stock temperatures the TD03 is pretty average, that is of course no bad thing because our i5 3570K will run happily at these mid-range temperatures 24 hours a day. The numbers are about on par with that of the Antec 650 and Corsair H75, both similar size and specification water cooling units.
The Tundra was a little louder than the other water cooling units, although none of the coolers on this chart are really that noisy, it’s rare that you’ll hear the fan from a cooler from within your chassis at stock loads unless your running a tiny stock Intel / AMD cooler. However there is clearly some room for improvement regardless.
This is where the Tundra really shines, it is the third best CPU cooler for overclocking on our chart! Just beating out the 280mm radiator of the CM Nepton and ever so slightly behind that of the Enermax Liqtech 120mm radiator. The added win for Silverstone is that they’ve got much lower idle temperatures than nearly everything else, same as the Liqtech 240 and the Nepton 140XL, all of which idle at just 3c above ambient.
The Tundra ranks in around the same level as the Antec 650 in terms of acoustics, it could be quieter and there is an audible fan noise, mostly air turbulence noise rather than motor / pump noises. Perhaps Silverstone could improve the fan noise a little bit, but with such great cooling performance from a 120mm radiator, I think a little wind noise is a fair trade-off.
