Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 150W CPU Cooler

The Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 is a budget-friendly air cooler rated for 150W TDP. It uses four 6mm copper heatpipes in direct contact with the CPU and 0.4mm aluminum fins with a 2.2mm gap. A 120mm PWM fan with hydraulic bearing spins between 500 and 1500 RPM, moving 74.33 CFM at 28.8 dBA. A Low-Noise Cable can drop speed to 400-1100 RPM and noise to 22.1 dBA.

Builders needing quiet 150W cooling on mainstream

This cooler fits Intel LGA 1700, 1200, 115x and AMD AM5, AM4, FM2, FM1, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2 without extra brackets. The 153mm height suits most mid-tower cases. Builders with CPUs exceeding 150W TDP or cases limited to coolers shorter than 153mm should look at something else. The single-fan design also limits headroom for heavy overclocking.

150W TDP rating and 153mm height

The 150W dissipation limit is the key figure for matching this cooler to a processor. The 153mm overall height decides case compatibility. Both numbers are fixed by the heatsink dimensions of 153.00 x 127.00 x 75.30 mm and the 120mm fan. Verify your CPU TDP and case clearance against these values before buying.

Questions about this item

Will the 153 mm height of this cooler clear my existing case side panel?

The Contac Silent 12 stands 153 mm tall from motherboard to top fin, so any case rated for at least 153 mm CPU-cooler clearance will fit it without removing the side panel.

How can I verify the fan is running within its 500–1500 RPM range after installation?

Connect the 4-pin PWM header to the motherboard, then monitor fan speed in BIOS or a hardware-monitoring utility; it should report between 500 RPM at idle and 1500 RPM under load.

Does the box include mounting hardware for AMD AM5 and Intel LGA 1700, or must I buy a separate bracket kit?

The package supplies universal brackets covering Intel LGA 1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4/FM2/FM1/AM3(+)/AM2(+), so no extra bracket purchase is required for those sockets.
