The recently tested SilentiumPC Fera 3 cooler did not do badly in our tests, but it was a bit noisy. Today we will look at a cooler from the same family, i.e. SilentiumPC Fera 3 RGB. As the name suggests, this cooler offers RGB backlighting. In addition, the entire heatsink is a few millimeters lower and a different fan is also used. I just hope that these differences will not have a negative effect under stress tests.
Conclusion and rating
The SilentiumPC Fera 3 RGB successfully carries on where the Fera 3 ends and adds a few minor improvements. The most fundamental improvement is the use of a significantly quieter fan. However, this also leads to a slight rise in temperature. The RGB backlight is very nicely done for this cooler. With a backlit upper heatsink surface and a fan, this cooler becomes the visual centerpiece of your entire rig.
The assembly system remained the same as for the Fera 3, so my reservations about it apply, too. Unfortunately, the overall price of the cooler has also increased, which pushes it away from the interesting price/performance ratio offered by the non-RGB version. However, the Fera 3 RGB still remains a good choice for all PC builds, where some extra charge for the design-attractive processing of the cooler does not matter.
