Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 710 Black CPU Cooler Review

Thermaltake has been making many of the best coolers on the market for years, especially their top-end liquid coolers, which I’m personally a big fan of and use in my own systems at home and in the office. However, I also love air cooling, it’s often pretty compact compared to radiator systems, affordable, very low maintenance and quiet too. With the release of the new Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 710 Black, which comes in at just £59.99, it looks like it’ll live up to my expectations for being affordable, and looking at the features and specifications, it looks like it’s going to be a pretty potent air cooler too.

Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 710 Black

• Lower Noise but More Powerful – TOUGHAIR 710 Black leverages the TOUGHFAN 14 design, so the fan can provide an airflow of 81.96 CFM and a static pressure of 1.81 mm-H2O while keeping the noise level at 23.9 dB-A. So you won’t have you choose between cooling power and acoustics.
• Larger Heat Dissipation Area – We have also extended the fin stack so there’s more heat dissipation area to ensure the best cooling result. Along with the significant asymmetric fin structure of the TOUGHAIR Series, no doubt that if you’re looking for a boost on your air cooler, TOUGHAIR 710 Black won’t let you down.
• The Ultimate Cooling Solution – TOUGHAIR 710 Black features a copper base with anti-corrosive nickel plating that covers all seven Ø6mm U-shape copper heat pipes, resulting in even heat distribution from the heat source, providing exceptional heat dissipation even with high-performance CPUs.
• Flexible Adjustment of Fan Position – By adjusting the fan position, you can easily match the height of the memory and enjoy unlimited cooling performance.

It features two large 140mm fans and a dual-tower design that should allow for some impressive cooling performance, while the larger fans will be able to move a lot of air at lower RPM, allowing for great cooling, but also a low-noise operation. With support for all the latest AMD and Intel sockets, seven 6mm U-shaped copper heat pipes, those powerful TOUGHFAN 14 fans, the TOUGHAIR seems to be ticking all the right boxes.
