Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| Overall the Raijintek Pallas is a very pleasant surprise. It is an affordable cooler aimed at mid-range market but comes with an impressive level of manufacturing quality and also performance. While some coolers might be cheaper, they are also much cheaper in terms of design, simplicity and manufacturing quality. The overall performance is good and noise levels are decent as well. They could be a little bit lower but as we said, for that you get great cooling performance. The cooler is bundled with a slim PWM fan, which is a little noisy at 12 Volt. Apart from that we liked, that this cooler is compatible to virtually any socket out there on the market. |

| Installation | + | - | |
| Mounting is quite easy and practical but unfortunately the fan clips can cause some headache. Putting them in place requires a decent amount of force, since the clips fit rather tight. The mounting mechanism parts are solid, thermal paste comes in a small plastic bag and there is enough inside to mount the cooler twice. |
- Basic mounting easy and practical
- Compatible to all Intel and all AMD sockets |

| Performance | + | - | |
| Cooling performance of the Raijintek Pallas is definitely very good for its size. It does a way better job than most, if not all, cheaper coolers and to make things worse, for competition at least, it even does a better job than some more expensive and bigger coolers. So far Raijintek's Palls is the best performing low-profile-cooler we've had for testing in our lab. | - Cooling performances | ||
| Noise Levels | + | - | |
| The overall noise levels are good and the Raijintek Pallas is silent, except for 12V. Luckily this cooler is powerful enough to keep a CPU at adequate temperatures, even when the fans are driven at 7V, meaning noise level won't be an issue anymore. | - Silent | ||
| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |
| We can definitely recommend this cooler as it is a very good alternative to boxed and cheap looking coolers. The Raijintek Pallas is high quality cooler with a decent price of 39 Euros, and even good enough compete with more expensive and bigger coolers. |
