SilverStone Sugo SG04

Installation & Performance:

For testing out this chassis we had installed an ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard with integrated NVIDIA graphics, 4GB of A-DATA Vitesta DDR2 Gaming RAM, an AMD Sempron 3400+ AM2, Corsair TX750 750W, Seagate 320GB Serial ATA 2.0 hard drive, and a Lite-On CD-RW drive. For cooling the processor we had installed a SilverStone Nitrogon NT06 Evolution heatsink. Back in 2006 we had looked at the original Nitrogon NT06 and the Evolution is the enhanced model.

The SilverStone Nitrogon NT06 Evolution has five 6mm power heatpipes made of copper, aluminum fins, compatibility with Intel LGA-775 sockets, and compatibility with AMD Socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ sockets. The cooler is sized at 123 x 82 x 149 mm and its weight is 430 grams. The NT06 Evolution comes without a fan but the black shroud does have a 120mm fan mount. If installing the NT06 Evolution within a Sugo chassis, it's just a matter of aligning the cooler with the power supply and mounting the system's power supply so that its fan will push air through this CPU heatsink. This saves room by not needing a dedicated CPU fan and allows for quieter operation. Regardless of whether you are using the NT06 Evolution or another heatsink, the CPU cooler cannot exceed 82mm in height.
