If you were to ask a room full of Geeks what they thought of when they heard the name Thermaltake a large number of them would likely tell you that they make great looking cases, while another portion of the group might say they specialize in making some of the best power supplies on the market today. Then there would be the group that would tell you that they are best known for the wide selection of heatsinks. 

In other words Thermaltake is known for producing so of the most important parts on anyone's system. A couple of other things that sets Thermaltake apart from other companies that sell heatsinks is their commitment to great service, continual design changes to stay current or ahead of the market and a true value to the buyer.

This bring us to the unit we are reviewing today, The Thermaltake Big Typhoon VX is not some puny little OEM type heatsink, this bad boy is designed to keep things cool under pressure and do it without sounding like a jet airliner.  So come on along a we put the Big Typhoon VX through a series of tests to see how well it handles the heat.
