Cooler Master CoolViva Pro SE: Even Better and Much CheaperBy:Sergey Lepilov Date:2007-10-5 11:13:53 |
But did the turbine design change affect the level of generated noise by CoolViva Pro SE? Let¡¯s answer this question right now:

The noise level generated by CoolViva Pro SE not only never exceeded that of the predecessor, but it proved to operate even quieter than the regular CoolViva Pro. The "plastic" sounding of the first cooler blower disappeared completely and even a slight increase in the turbine blades rotation speed had no negative effect on the level of generated noise.
Well, CoolViva Pro SE is an excellent example of how the existing cooling solutions should be modified. All changes introduced in the SE model are aimed at making the solution more attractive for the users and overclocking fans. CoolViva Pro SE became more efficient, much quieter and more light-weight, and of course, even more affordable from the price standpoint, which is also very important. Universality has been improved minimally, because the retention kits and mounting holes remained the same as by CoolViva Pro, they simply added a few new graphics card models into the compatibility list.
As for the drawbacks, we can certainly point out the absence of PWM-function support although at the current level of generated noise this is an insignificant issue. All in all, CoolViva Pro that is being discontinued as we speak has got a truly worthy replacement.
