360° View - Silverstone Tundra TD02 - Water
Block Information on Frostytech's test
methodology is available
here. The metal waterblock/pump measures 34mm tall and roughly 55mm
square. It features two 8mm wide slots cut into either side
where aluminum mounting arms screw in place. A fill port is
conveniently located in one of these slots, hidden out of view. Power is
supplied to the pump by a 3-pin motherboard fan header. There is no
internal illumination to indicate when the pump is operating,
however. The chrome plated aluminum waterblock has a footprint
of 60x55mm and is equipped with a single 3-pin power connector.
The 10mm OD white FEP coolant tubes are mounted on plastic 90-degree
connectors which do not swivel. The copper base plate that makes direct contact with the processor
heatspreader is 1.5mm thick and measures 55x55mm in size. It is soldered
directly to the waterblock, removing the chance of coolant
leaks.
Base Finish and Flatness Flipping a heatsink over to inspect the business end is often a simple indicator of overall cooler quality. More practically speaking, a heatsink is in many ways only as effective as the contact it makes with the processor - the flatter and smoother the better. Base finish is one of the criteria that Frostytech measure in the course of evaluating heatsinks, and it involves two distinct aspects. Surface Finish is the first; this is calculated with the aid of Surface Roughness Comparator that has a cross section of common machine surface finishes and their numerical surface roughness equivalents in microinches. The second is Surface Flatness. This is tested with an engineer's straight edge or proven flat surface, in two axes. The copper base plate of the Silverstone Tundra TD02 has a machined surface finish with a surface roughness of approximately ~16 microinches. The copper base plate is very slightly convex in both axes. Next, acoustic measurements and then AMD and Intel synthetic thermal test result charts.
