ThermoLab Trinity Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look
The Trinity’s aesthetics are very unique especially with the non-standard heatpipe orientation.
The Trinity name is also written in stylish white writing which stands out.
The 130mm 4-pin PWM fan used extends slightly above and below the heatsink itself allowing other components on the motherboard to receive some incidental airflow.
The VRM temperatures will really benefit thanks to how low the fans extends.
The side on view of the cooler shows that it isn’t too wide and shouldn’t interfere with motherboard components or RAM heatsinks.
The rear view shows directly through the heatsink revealing the position of the heatpipes.
All 4 heatpipes extend around 3mm above the top fin of the heatsink.
ThermoLab use a H.D.T. for the design of the base which is super shiny and extremely flat thanks to the precise CNC milling methods used.
The base is positioned slightly off centre to allow for extra RAM clearance which I must say is very effective and helpful when the cooler is in use.
The 130mm Hypro Bearing fan has an all black frame complete with 9 black blades.
An ingenious method is used to mount the fan onto the heatsink. Anti-vibration silicon mounts ensure a secure attachment as well as isolating any noise and vibrations.
The mounts are a decent length meaning that other fans should also fit the heatsink.
A standard 4-pin PWM cable is used to connect the fan to the motherboard. A black braided cable would have been a good addition, but this is a minor issue.
