Analyzing all the information I have laid out, one could come to the conclusion that what I have here is a high-feature, good-performance, fairly-noisy heatsink offering from Thermaltake. I think that analysis is right on. The performance offered exceeds the heatsinks I tested the Volcano 11+ against, but that comes at the cost of sound pollution. Thermaltake has combated that problem by offering noise reduction tools. Unlike Zalman's product, you can control the sound element without opening the case. If one were to decrease the speed, the sound would drop and the performance would most likely fall into the same area as the other heatsink. The bonus is that the extra performance is at your finger tips if you need it.
