Conclusion
...an easy-to-use 240mm package whose claim to fame is a svelte 22mm radiator and a duo of thin 15mm fans.All-in-one liquid coolers have been made readily available by a wide range of enthusiast brands, and finding a solution that fits your needs tends to require very little effort.
Great news for the consumer looking to quickly and easily upgrade their CPU cooler, but for manufacturers it is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate one all-in-one solution from the next. SilverStone usually finds a way to stand out from the crowd and has produced a closed-loop package that's different to the norm and designed for a specific usage scenario.
Dubbed the TD02-Slim, it's an easy-to-use 240mm package whose claim to fame is a svelte 22mm radiator and a duo of thin 15mm fans.
A combined 37mm thickness makes it one of the most versatile liquid coolers in its class, however whilst chassis compatibility is enhanced, cooling performance is naturally going to suffer and herein lies the dilemma: will users of a 240mm radiator be willing to accept such performance limitations? We're not so sure, but if space is at a premium and liquid cooling is a priority, SilverStone's TD02-Slim at least gives you an option.
The Good The Bad Useful if space is limited
Copes well with an overclocked CPU
Simple all-in-one installation Inevitable performance sacrifice
Pump not the quietest
