Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler During the dog days of summer, would a simple little electric fan be able to cool you off? It probably wouldn’t. You would have to use an air-conditioning unit to keep yourself from being uncomfortably hot. In the computer world on the other hand, would you use a standard air cooling unit to dissipate the heat from your high-performance, top-of-the-line CPU? Well, only if you want it to overheat. There is no question that a PC with fast components and an advanced CPU can lead to a very hot system, and without the proper cooling device, that PC would overheat and ultimately, break down. Now, you wouldn’t want that to happen to your expensive devices, right?

If that is the case, then you need to have the Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler. It comes from Ultra, a well-trusted manufacturer of PC parts. So as such, it comes with a high level of quality and dependability that can perform like the best of them. The Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU cooler is a superb cooling solution for extremely fast and powerful processors. It is fully compatible with several CPU types including socket 775, AM2, 754, 939 and 940.

Also known as a “Peltier Cooler,” the Ultra Chilltec is a thermo-electric cooler (TEC) that works by shifting the heat from one side of the device to the opposite through a solid-state active heat pump. The Ultra Chilltec’s TEC unit is placed in between two copper plates with four heat pipes each, which all lead to a powerful, fan cooled radiator. As a result, the heat generated by the CPU is dissipated quickly and effectively.

With other cooling devices using the same mechanism as this one, condensation can sometimes become a problem. This is because of the fact that TECs are capable of cooling CPUs below room temperature. However, the Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler works in such a way that the said problems are circumvented. The Chilltec only applies power to the actual TEC unit when the CPU reaches a certain temperature. If that temperature has not been reached yet, the CPU is cooled instead by the heat-pipes on the TEC’s cold side. But when the CPU finally gets hot enough, power is applied and the TEC goes to work, and the CPU is cooled. The TEC’s hot side is then cooled by the other set of heat pipes. This combination of thermo-electric and heat-pipe cooling results in a CPU that runs cool even after extended usage.

The extra cooling that the Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler provides also increases your CPU’s threshold for overclocking. Hardcore gamers and technophiles who want to squeeze out every ounce of performance from their CPUs simply need to have this cooling device. Additionally, this CPU Cooler also comes with a controller that displays important information such as CPU load and heat levels.

The Ultra Chilltec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler is the perfect cooling solution for the power user. Experience increased performance and efficiency with this reliable and competent and capable cooling device.
