Its design has been improved with large surface heat sinks, two Pulsar HP ARGB high static pressure fans and a copper base with six heatpipes inside that ensure rapid heat extraction, thus avoiding spikes in temperatures, towards fins ensuring all overclocked teams keep their temperatures at bay.
These in turn are combined with the two high pressure fans, an internal 140 mm and an external 120 mm that act on the fins to dissipate heat by doing a push / pull. All this with fans that have been designed so that its rotation speed is adjusted to a minimum loudness to guarantee silent operation.

The Grandis 3 Evo ARGB includes an addressable LED lighting system with a controller that is included with the product. It allows a completely individual adjustment of all lighting effects, colors and style according to user requirements. It is also possible to control the 18 LEDs integrated into the fans that have 16 million colors separately.
In the technical section we find a large fan of 159 x 140 x 131 mm and not suitable for small towers. It has a weight of 961 grams and is capable of dissipating 250W TDP with its 6 heat pipes and its 2 fans of 120 and 140 mm.
The 120mm fan speed is between 250 and 1,600 RPMOn the other hand, the 140mm fan has a minimum speed of 250 RPM and a maximum of 1,400 RPM and its life times are around 50,000 hours for both. The fan connections are 4-pin PWM and 3-pin ARGB. The fan bearing is hydraulic.
The contact surface with the IHS is 48 x 38 mm. The size of the dissipation fins is 40 mm wide.
Disappointed that it is not compatible with liquid metal
Its assembly is quite simple and it comes with a thermal paste from the factory that is the Pactum PT-2. This heatsink is NOT compatible with liquid metal thermal pastes.
Its RGB effects are compatible with all major motherboard manufacturers like GIGABYTE RGB FUSION 2.0. ASUS AURA SYNC or ASRock Polychrome among others.
Its compatibility with Intel LGA:
- 1151
- 1150
- 1155
- 1156

In general the SilentiumPC Grandis 3 Evo ARGB It is a product aimed at all overclocking enthusiasts who need above-average cooling capacity, since for the general public a heatsink of around 200W of TDP should suffice.
In contrast, this model with its 25% more heat dissipation capacity raises it up to 250W TDP, which ensures it can cool processors with up to 16 cores. It comes with a 2 year warranty.
