eTeknix has seen an influx of laptop coolers as of late, with plenty being from the big manufacturers including Antec and of course Cooler Master. We can quite easily call ourselves experts in this range of products due to the sheer amount we've seen pass through our labs as of late.
Xigmatek has been well known for their CPU coolers for a long time, mainly for providing amazing performance for fantastic prices and also for their signature orange LED fans. Xigmatek has also made a great success with their move into the already crowded mid-range case market and has also branched into power supplies. Xigmatek will also be moving into the higher end of the case market with their upcoming Elysium which I am particularly looking forward to.
It has been quite a while since Swiftech last offered a new air-cooled heatsink. Looking back through old reviews it appears the last one may have been the MCX6400-V, circa 2004. Certainly at that time Swiftech's coolers were well regarded, and they were the only ones to utilize anything like their patented Helicoid cooling pin design for base to fin heat transfer. However in more recent years Swiftech has concentrated exclusively on liquid cooling products. You can imagine my surprise then when I received the notice that I would be reviewing a new air-cooled heatsink from Swiftech, the Polaris 120.
So let's go back to basics and start from the beginning. A computer system is nothing without sufficient cooling much like a car performs better when at an optimum temperature, whereas some develop faults with cold starts. Think of computers as the other way round, as hot temperatures can lead to catastrophic failure and a nice cool, chilled system will run flawlessly 99.99999% of the time.
Today we are looking the newest addition to the Zalman CNPS line up, the CNPS11X. The new CNPS11X is not your typical tower cooler. With a unique color and shape, Zalman has once again added a new spin to high performance air cooling. Join us as we see how Zalman's newest twist on the traditional tower cooler fares on our Intel Core i7 test bench.
Il fut un temps où Swiftech était plus connu pour ses radiateurs CPU que pour ses solutions watercooling. Après un arrêt complet de cette première gamme, la marque américaine a décidé de revenir en force, avec un modèle tour en 120mm visant les grosses performances, quitte à sacrifier un peu le silence. Un pari réussi ? ou pas...
The Frio OCK is a CPU cooler from Thermaltake. It has a tower heatsink with six heatpipes and two 130 mm fans. Check it out!
Aus dem Hause Spire wollen wir euch einen neuen Kühler vorstellen. Diesmal ist es aber kein OC Monster, sondern eher ein Modell für die schlanke Geldbörse. Das soll aber die Leistung nicht schmälern. Der Kühler nennt sich Spire CoolGate 10, ist mit einem 92 mm Lüfter ausgestattet und für aktuelle AMD und Intel Prozessoren geeignet.
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.
We reviewed the Prolimatech Genesis CPU cooler, which has two heatsinks, one vertical and one horizontal, six heatpipes, and room for two 120 mm or 140 mm fans. Check it out!
