Lately at APH Networks, we have been suffering from the 'Australian effect'. By the 'Australian effect', I mean stuff always somehow turns out to be upside down. I have no idea how this has been happening in almost every review, but hopefully that bug does not hit this review as well, or else we might be in trouble. Either way, all I know is that there are some things that are better left right side up than upside down. Take your computer's CPU heatsink/fan, for example: Have you ever tried installing it the wrong way? How did that turn out... if you are not in Australia? I don't think it would be too appropriate to have the fins or the fan touching the CPU, haha. Anyways, where were we again? Oh right, it is now time to talk about today's product. By now, I'm sure most users want to know what we will be taking a look at today. The product in particular comes to us from Zalman, a renowned force in the computer cooling market with many budget to enthusiast products that may be used to suit any need -- where the CNPS5X SZ is a CPU heatsink/fan advertised to be "ultra quiet" with powerful cooling performance. Let us see how well it lives up to their claim, and how it stacks up in today's market.

I always enjoy the feeling of having something soft and warm on my lap. It feels good and comfortable, but sometimes my lap gets a little bit too hot. Obviously, I was talking about my kittens, not sure where your mind went, haha. I got two new kittens a few weeks ago, and they definitely do a good job at keeping my lap warm. It is almost as if I left my laptop on my lap for a few hours -- which isn't a very typical thing for me when I am at home. However, when I'm on the go, my lap happens to be a convenient place, and I guess the whole 'lap' part of laptop really starts to show. In the past, some of my laptops seems to be a mini heater. Normally, you would expect the thought of something smoking hot in my lap being enjoyable; however, this kind of hot instead reminds me of sunburn. In my last review for the Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim, the cooler was designed to be lightweight and portable. This time, we are going to look at a different kind of portable laptop cooler. While this one isn't meant to be something you would like to carry around, it still works wonders on your lap. This brings about the next question. Is it ready to please your lap, while you are pleasing your girlfriend? (Of course, by 'pleasing', I mean talking to her on Skype or Windows Live Messenger. You guys really need to stop thinking about those other kinds of things). Well, let's take a look at what's chilling today with the Cooler Master NotePal LapAir!

Enermax hat die PC-Games-Hardware-Redaktion besucht und ein Vorabmuster des kommenden Turmkühler ETS-T40 in der "TB"-Edition mit einem PWM-fähigen T.B.-Silence-Ventilator mitgebracht. Dabei hat die PCGH-Redaktion die exklusive Gelegenheit genutzt, erste Tests mit dem CPU-Kühler durchzuführen, der in wenigen Wochen erscheinen soll.

Last I remember from Zalman, I was testing the CNPS10X coolers, of which there were four versions in total - two of which I got to look at personally. There was the Performa and the Extreme, both of which were typical tower based designs with a top cover and other tricks specific to the series. The cooler we are about to see takes on some of the attributes of these coolers, but harks back to the CNPS7 series of coolers for its outer appearance. You might even say both got their concept for the CNPS5, but we aren't splitting hairs here and it looks much more like the 7 series.

Prozessorkühler der Traditionsmarke Coolermaster haben in den letzten Jahren vorrangig durch optische Auffälligkeiten und leistungsstarke Lüfter um die Gunst der Käufer gebuhlt und damit nur bedingt die Bedürfnisse der Anwender erfüllt. Mit dem neuen Hyper 612S verzichtet Coolermaster nun auf optische Spielchen und setzt konsequent auf niedrige Lautstärke. ComputerBase testet den Silent-Kühler.

We recently took a look at Gelid's current flagship CPU cooler, the Tranquillo Rev. 2. It was a good cooler seeing that it carried out Gelid's goal of being quiet in action while offering good performance with an overclocked CPU. Today we are hoping that their VGA coolers are equally good when we look at their current VGA cooling flagship, the Icy Vision Rev. 2.

Wer auf der Suche nach einem neuen VGA Kühler ist, wird nicht um die Produkte von Arctic Cooling herum kommen. So war es auch bei uns, als wir für unsere Radeon HD 6950 Grafikkarte ein passendes Modell gesucht haben. Wie der Kühler abgeschnitten hat, könnt ihr im passenden Artikel lesen.

Today we are looking at the GELID Rev. 2 Tranquillo Silent CPU tower cooler. The Rev. 2 Tranquillo is an updated version of the Tranquillo. The new Rev. 2 features a new updated mounting system, base, and heatpipe arrangement. Join us as we see how well it performs on our Intel Core i7-930 test system at both stock and overclocking settings.

Nous quittons un instant la sphère du haut de gamme des ventirads pour nous consacrer aux modèles milieu de gamme à moins de 50€. Nous ouvrons le bal avec notre première victime, le tout récent Spire Gemini. Il s'agit d'un radiateur double tour équipé de deux ventilateurs de 120mm. Spire annonce sur son site, chose intéressante pour ce modèle, que le Gemini a la possibilité de fonctionner avec ses deux ventilateurs, avec un seul ou en semi-passif si vous avez besoin de calme et que vous ne souhaitez pas de ventilateur. Voilà donc un modèle qui se veut offrir des prestations de haut vol : nous allons le soumettre à notre batterie de tests pour voir de quel bois il se chauffe !

System cooling can be handled in a variety of ways. Most enthusiast systems take a brute force approach by using oversized coolers and extensive case modifications to get the best airflow possible. Unfortunately not every system is built like that so you have to try and accomplish more with less.
