Finished Looks

The NZXT Respire T40 might not convey the same quality as some of its competitors, but its understated look and black and white fan give it a nice appearance. The cooler won't win awards for looks but should definitely look good inside many a PC. That said, the inclusion of a second fan would balance out its appearance nicely while improving cooling, but its overall aesthetic is good.


The Respire T40 also manages to clear the top PCIE x16 slot without issue, so there are no worries of it interfering with larger GPUs.


When it comes to memory clearance on LGA2011, the NZXT Respire T40 does very well. Clearance around the socket is fine as it does not block any DIMM slots on my test rig's motherboard.
