Silverstone Tundra TD02-Slim AIO Cooler Review

Performance

The performance of the TD02-Slim is quite interesting, clocking very similar results to the TD02-E, and despite being a slim rad, it’s certainly competitive with many other coolers on our charts.

Pushing the clocks up did put some strain on the cooler, but as you can see, it’s still holding strong against many other water coolers, clocking lower than many leading AIO coolers, so it’s clear that the size reduction hasn’t had a huge impact on performance. Of course, the TD02-E manages to beat it out by a few degrees compared to its newer and slimmer counterpart.

Noise levels are perfectly acceptable on this cooler, but it’s clear that those thin fans have to kick a little harder to keep up. I wouldn’t say it was noisy, but the air turbulence is easily picked up on our test bench, this won’t be so much of an issue once installed in a chassis.

When overclocked, the same can be said again, the fans are kicking up a bit of noise and could be better, but it’s a fair trade-off given the relative cooling performance for the compact form factor.
