CONTENT: The Havik 140 is a completely new and fresh design to come out of NZXTs lab. As the name instigates, it is designed to take advantage of better performing but quieter operating 140mm fans. Thermalright and Noctua have been the first to introduce such concepts and given the rising popularity of 140mm fans into the mainstream, it wasnt long till consumers were going to see these on CPU coolers. Perhaps the closest competitor to the NZXT is the Thermalright Archon which also comes with its own 140mm fan. The Havik looks like a very traditional heatsink on initial impressions. It boasts six 6mm heat pipes, uses an aluminium and copper construction, has a densely packed laminar fin array and dimensions comparable to other towers such as the Venomous X. As such, we expect performance to be comparable. The highlight is of course the inclusion of two uniquely shaped 140mm fans, a first for tower coolers. The overall package from NZXT is a complete one but can NZXT compete outside of their comfort zone?

Today we have the chance to review something new from a company whose main product lines revolve around cases. Today we are checking out NZXTs latest product and hopefully a new product line. NZXT has given us a chance to review their new Havik 140, a dual 140mm fan CPU cooler. The Havik 140 also features a whopping six, 6mm copper heatpipes to fit i nside of its heatsink. Read on further to see if this new product approac h passes or fails for NZXT.

Quote: Overall, the Havik 140 from NZXT is a very nice first offering. With t he MSRP of $74.99 its not to out of the question for most enthusiasts, but enough competition at that price range they will think about the purchase. It will be interesting to see where the price lands once the Havik 140 get s into the wild and places like Newegg start to carry it…
