Here at XSReviews we’ve seen a multitude of CPU coolers over the years from the good, the bad to the ugly. One thing we can say though is that the tower format heatsink has undoubtedly prevailed as the base concept for the majority of designs. Whilst each manufacturer opts for their own variation of fin spacing, sizes, fan combinations etc., ultimately the initial design can be boiled down to a tower of aluminium fins.

La firme autrichienne Noctua nous gratifie une nouvelle fois d’un monstre. Il s’agit du NH-C14, l’un des plus imposants ventirads top flow du marché, qui vient succéder au NH-C12P. Ce nouveau modèle combiné à deux ventilateurs de 140mm est censé pouvoir prendre place dans les boîtiers les plus compacts et autres PCHC, grâce notamment à sa configuration modulable à souhait. Noctua met également en avant le potentiel de refroidissement du nouveau venu et garantit un gap de performance réduit par rapport aux modèles tours les plus endurants. Nous allons le soumettre à notre protocole, en ne manquant pas de le comparer aux ténors de la discipline !
The XTS100H is a performance CPU cooler for socket 1155/1156 CPUs, being the only retail CPU cooler offered by Intel. Let's check its performance out!
Zalman's CNPS5X-SZ heatsink is an updated, vertical interpretation of a 2006-era heatsink Zalman released under the CNPS8000 nomenclature. Like its forefather, the CNPS5X-SZ fills the role of a lower profile, light weight cooler that's ideally suited to sub-95W TDP processors. It's stacked aluminum fins are connected by three 6mm diameter copper heatpipes to a small aluminum base block with a thin bit of copper covering the otherwise exposed heatpipes.
The newest cooler from Prolimatech, the Genesis, comes with a shape that reminds us of the older V10 from Cooler Master and can be placed on the same level in terms of performance with the king of air cooling, the Noctua NH-D14.
We tested the Kühler H2O 620 watercooler from Antec, which uses a sealed system with the pump integrated to the CPU block. Check it out!
Today we test the most high-end heatsink from Noctua. It comes with two fans pre-equipped and will fill up all but the largest eATX cases. Dubbed the NH-D14 this beast comes with a 120mm AND 140mm fan which are spec'ed for low noise operation. Can it handle the heat of an overclocked Core i7? Time to find out.
Let's test the Transformer 3 CPU cooler from Evercool, which has a tower heatsink with three heatpipes and a 120 mm fan. Check it out!
High performance cooling has come a long way over the years and while most people associate aftermarket cooling options with overclocking that isn't always the case. Some coolers may be best suited as high capacity alternatives to the cheap and unattractive OEM designs.
