Silverstone Tundra Series TD03 CPU Water Cooler Review

A Closer Look

The two included fans are nicely designed, featuring 9 white fan blades each and a high quality black sleeved cable, each with a 4-pin PWM connection.

The pump, pipes and radiator and a single piece unit out of the box. Unlike many of the other coolers on the market, the TD03 isn’t just a black coloured lump of plastic and metal. The side has a grey finish to its nickel-plated aluminium, the fins are finished in black and there is a glossy white trim to the top and bottom edges, very different from everything else on the market, but it certainly looks great.

The fins are very durable, with many water coolers I can bend the fins easily with my finger, but that is not the case here and they’re what I would class as heavy-duty.

The white finish on the water pipes have been kept neat and tidy thanks to some white shrink tubing at the base; the pipes are really flexible too, more so than any other water cooler I’ve tested, which should make the installation process a little easier.

The radiator looks unique and stunning, but not as much as the pump which comes will a stunning aluminium constructed body, the Silverstone logo in the middle features a blue LED backlight and there is a hard-wired black sleeved cable on one side. The water pipes are mounted to the pump on swivel brackets, meaning they can be angled to best suit your installation.

The Intel bracket is pre-installed, but you can unscrew it and attach the much longer AMD mounting arms if required. The oversized contact base is highly polished copper.
