SilverStone Tundra TD02 240mm AIO Review

First up we have the all aluminium encased pump unit which looks very sleek and shows off the SilverStone emblem at the top.

The base is perfectly flat copper and looks fantastic. The lack of screws certainly looks better although I doubt it offers much performance benefit.

The tubing is white FEP plastic, not everyone’s favourite as most prefer rubber but the fact it is white is nice – at least it matches with the rest of the design. And it is reasonably flexible too.

The radiator uses that very dense design we talked about in the introduction. As you can see its very dense, I am not entirely sure what the equivalent FPI (fins per inch) count is but you can be sure it is a lot denser than most aluminium AIOs.

The unit is 45mm thick, compare that to a H100i which is about 27mm and you can see SilverStone’s unit is built for more performance. Though you’d probably need to add a second pair of fans to truly realise this potential.

There’s no visible radiator mounted reservoir but clearly there is reservoir storage at either end of the radiator as the total length is 278mm despite only 240mm being need for the fan area.

You can see the aluminium body around the radiator which is screwed in. The whole unit just oozes quality unlike some of the cheaper AIOs we see made by Asetek and CoolIT which are uninspiring to say the least.

The included fans stick to the white theme and are sleeved to the edge of the frame. These fans do 1500-2500 RPM according to SilverStone though they will spin much lower than that. Our fan PWM profile started spinning at about 600RPM so it really depends on your motherboard’s fan control functions. At 2500RPM they create 33.5 dBA of noise and shift 92.5 CFM each.
