Thermaltake ha annunciato una nuova linea di CPU cooler denominata NiC Series che al momento include quattro varianti siglate F3, F4, C4 e C5, progettate per smaltire l'energia termica generata da un processore con TDP pari a 160W, 180W, 200W e 230W rispettivamente.
I dissipatori NiC sono definiti come "non-interference cooler" dal produttore nella misura in cui essi possono vantare una struttura fisica concepita per consentire l'assemblaggio di sistemi che utilizzino simultaneamente anche moduli di memoria RAM tipicamente overcloccati e dotati a loro volta di cooler complessi e voluminosi.
I nuovi prodotti NiC di Thermaltake supportano sia i processori Intel con socket LGA-2011, LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-1155, LGA-1150 e LGA-775 di Intel che le CPU e le APU con socket FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+ e AM2 di AMD.
I cooler F3 e F4 sono dotati di una e due ventole da 120mm rispettivamente, le quali variano automaticamente la velocità di rotazione nel range 800-1600RPM in base al volume di energia termica da smaltire.
Viceversa, le soluzioni siglate
C4 e C5 sono equipaggiate con un regolatore di tensione (VR, Voltage Regulator) che consente all'utente la regolazione manuale del regime di rotazione nel range 1000-2000RPM.

Thermaltake, an industry leader in computer chassis, thermal solutions, and power supply units announces the most innovative product, NiC Series CPU Coolers. Incorporating the latest proprietary technology, Thermaltake introduces to the world the all new NiC series (consisting of the F3, F4, C4, and C5), inspired from its name "non-interference cooler", fully compatible with RAM of all kinds, ideally for power users who fill their RAM slots with taller high-end overclocked RAM. This also brings the air cooler industry another level towards silence, performance and compatibility.
Uninterrupted New Standard
Unlike traditional tower coolers, the new NiC Series coolers solve the problem where high performance RAM and CPU coolers cannot co-exist in the past. It achieves the best RAM clearance allowing users to install high end overclocking RAM with ease.
Overclock design
The NiC lineup consists of the F3, F4, C4, and C5, with TDP ratings of 160W, 180W, 200W and 230W respectively. Heat is conducted from the CPU onto the cooler through the thick nickel coated copper base and then onto the aluminum fins with 3 – 5 Φ6mm U-shaped heat-pipes. This ensures the best possible heat dissipation. Furthermore, users can opt for something smaller and cooled with a single 120mm fan, or go for coolers that have shrouds to contain the air flow, or go with a pair of 120mm fans to allow for the best performance of both selections of the Nic series line.
Curved Aluminum Fins
Aluminum fins are specially designed in a curved shape to reduce backpressure and at the same time maximize airflow through them. The 0.4mm thick aluminum fins also increase the overall thermal dissipation area.
Integrated 120mm PWM/VR fan
Single 120mm PWM fan (F3), dual 120mm PWM fans (F4) with automatically adjustable silent fan blades at a range of 800-1600rpm; or both VR fans (C4/C5) are contacted to an adjustable fan speed knob where the fans speed can be manually adjusted from 1000-2000rpm. Convenient tool-less fan clip design makes installation a breeze.
NiC Series, the all new CPU air cooler design which features a slim tower side flow design, 120mm PWM/VR Fan, efficiently optimizes cooling performance while allowing optimized compatibility with RAM of all kinds and also enabling the user to adjust the fan speed more conveniently.
