At first glance you may think the V-60 is very similar to the Arctic Square and to be honest you would not be far wrong. But there are some very subtle differences that should be mentioned.

First of all the V-60 does not come supplied with a blue LED fan, so if you find LEDs annoying then this a plus for the V-60. Secondly, the mounting system is different. Unlike the Arctic Square the V-60 is only compatible with Intel’s LGA775 socket.

Apart from the slight differences mentioned above the coolers do share many features, inner-fan technology, four U-shaped heatpipes and from a cooling and noise point of view the they are virtually identical to each other. They are both are equipped with 92mm PWM fans and produce noise levels from as little as 16 dBA

To sum up, if you are looking for a Intel LGA775 cooler that has great performance at a great price then the V-60 is one cooler that should be on your short list.
