Raijintek Themis Evo Pro & Tisis CPU Coolers Head-to-Head Review

Peter Donnell / 10 years ago

Final Thoughts

Price

Raijintek just keep on blowing us away, not only do both these coolers perform exceptionally well, but they do it without breaking the bank. The Themis Evo is a very affordable £27.95 from Overclockers.co.uk and the Tisis is just £49.99. Given that they’ve both beaten out products that are more than twice as expensive, you’re really going to struggle to find better for less, it’s as simple as that.

Overview

Raijintek are already in a very strong position given the products they’ve got available on the market and the highly competitive prices they offer. Time and time again they’ve proven that they can offer industry leading performance in multiple price ranges and today was no exception. They rolled up to Computex 2014 with a dizzying array of new products that’ll be hitting the market this year, and even a few that promise to out perform the already spectacular Tisis we reviewed today, and I don’t doubt them for a moment.

The Themis Evo pro is a really impressive product, it’s nice and quiet even when compared with much more expensive rival products and it’s performance is on par with products that we thought would have been way out of its league. When running on our stock CPU, the performance was simply stunning and for those running stock settings or mild overclocks, you’re going to see huge gains in terms of thermal performance for what is really a small investment in a CPU cooler. This may even be one of the best price vs performance coolers we’ve ever tested and for your average user, this is where you should be spending your money.

The Tisis is simply mind-boggling in terms of performance, there is literally nothing out there that I’ve tested that can cool our CPU this good. Sure there is a little more noise, but if you’ve got a good quality chassis you won’t have any issues, in fact you could easily roll back the fan RPM to limit noise without effecting performance that much. Of course if you’re intent on the running a chip at 5Ghz on a mental gaming rig, then you’re going to have a hard time getting near this level of performance from any other cooler on the market, and certainly for around the same budget. Extreme cooling for under £50, you simply cannot go wrong with that!

“Both coolers look stunning, build quality is premium throughout and the price is fiercely competitive, all of which take second place to the overall performance. If you’re on the market for a new cooler for your next gaming rig, or even just an upgraded cooling solution, you would be mad not to buy one of Raijinteks latest products.”

The unfamiliar brand name may put off some consumers, but with consistently award-winning performance with each new product, all that should change very soon
