Final Thoughts & Conclusion
The SilverStone Tundra TD02-E topped the charts in performance, easily beating all the single radiator solutions and the massive Noctua NH D14. The full contact heat sink fins allow for better airflow and contact more cooling tube surface to more effectively evacuate the heat from your coolant. The military grade solid aluminum CPU hold down clips are built to take a beating and are by far the best all-in-one hold downs we’ve seen to date. The nickel-plated aluminum water block body is a rugged design that turns out to be much more effective than many other all-in-one plastic water block bodies. We’ve seen dual radiator water cooling kits that run $299 and the SilverStone Tundra TD02-E comes in at an amazing $99.99 (Amazon), and has been spotted on sale for $89.99 with free shipping. Three hundred dollars for a water cooling kit is more than most of us can afford, but pinch a few pennies and we can afford one hundred clams for the Tundra TD02-E and still enjoy dual radiator cooling, with a lot less hassles.
The SilverStone Tundra TD02-E provides an amazing amount of cooling for the bargain price of $99.99 and the all-in-one, ready-to-use out of the box design takes the guess-work out of the equation for water cooling newcomers. The whisper quiet operation and extra room to work in the chassis are just icing on the cake with the Tundra TD02-E. Total setup time was about 15 minutes with clearly defined instruction that we barely used. SilverStone has a hit on their hands with the all-in-one Tundra TD02-E LCS solution.
The Bear Facts: The SilverStone Tundra TD02-E offers great cooling at an affordable price, improves air flow in your chassis and quietly cools your CPU better than any air cooling system we’ve seen.
