The aftermarket heatsink industry is very competitive, and manufacturers often release several product designs before finally scoring a win with enthusiasts and overclockers. The Megahalems was ProlimaTech's first run at CPU-cooler's, and a very sucessful one at that. Earning our Editor's Choice Award and countless accolades from other websites, ProlimaTech has built high expectations with their follow-up products. The ProlimaTech Armageddon is one such cooling solution with a legacy to fill, and with six heatpipes and enough finsink area for two 140mm fans it seems a reasonable possability.
We tested Prolimatech Armageddon CPU cooler, which has a slim heatsink, six U-shaped heatpipes, and supports two 140-mm fans.
In this review I will be looking at a new product from a relative newcomer to the world of pc cooling yet possibly one of the best known suppliers of enthusiast air coolers, the company is Prolimatech and the cooler of theirs I will be looking at is the Armageddon, coming from a name like Prolimatech I expecting nothing short of VERY good results. Let’s hope I am not disappointed.
ProlimaTech and the Armageddon, totally surpassing all other coolers benchmarked today, delivered outstanding performance. Personally, I’m very impressed with the Armageddon, and it’s only real fault is the mounting system. Priced at sixty-five dollars, the Armageddon is in the same ballpark as most other high-end coolers, but does not include fans.
Mit dem Armageddon präsentiert Meister Prolimatech einen zweiten Kühlerstreich für die CPU. Mit einem schmalen 140-mm-Towerdesign und sechs Heatpipes sollen hohe Leistungen bei niedrigem Platzbedarf erzielt werden. ComputerBase testet, ob Prolimatechs Kühlerneuling die Messlatte noch höher legen kann.
Was möchte uns Prolimatech mit dieser recht düster anmutenden Namensgebung mitteilen? steht uns allen das jüngste Gericht bevor, wenn wir diesen neuen CPU-Kühler verbauen? oder droht uns gar ewige Verdammnis oder ein glorreicher Sieg in der Schlacht aller Schlachten? mitnichten, martialisch angehauchte Titulierungen stehen schon seit einiger Zeit ganz oben auf den Spickzetteln der Marketingstrategen. Mitunter kann man sich des Eindrucks nicht erwehren, das diese meist männliche Spezies im verborgenen Kämmerlein Kredenzien raucht, die man nicht an der Tanke kaufen kann.
Prolimatech’s Genesis CPU cooler has been out for a while now and I myself have read a tonne of reviews on this rather freakish looking CPU cooler from Prolimatech. Put simply they’ve been a mixed bag, some people have raved about how innovative the design is and how good the performance is while others have called it out for being over-priced and lacking performance for its size. Today I am hoping to give you my own take on the Prolimatech Genesis, and we’ve got the slightly newer black variant in for testing. I will be putting the Prolimatech Genesis through the usual battery of tests and then seeing at the end of it all if I think it deserves one of our awards. These days I seem to be becoming increasingly stingy with my awards and I really look for something special so the Prolimatech Genesis is going to have to pull something good out of the bag.
Prolimatech are a brand that made their name with some seriously high end products. We’ve already taken a look at a couple of cheaper CPU coolers from Prolimatech – the Samuel 17 and Panther – and we found them to be kind-of average for the price point. Yet we know that Prolimatech are not an average brand and when they make product they are accustomed to making they excel at it. Today we have one of those products from Prolimatech that is renowned throughout the cooling industry – the Megahalems. However, this isn’t just any Megahalems because the Megahalems has been out for a while now. This is the special black Megahalems the is specially coated in al all black heatsink design with a black powder coat. Furthermore, Prolimatech have even gone to the trouble of coating the mounting parts as well.
Nothing has changed since the original Megahalems in terms of the physical specifications, which you can see below. What has changed is this cooler now looks more awesome than ever and has a slightly higher price tag for the extra work Prolimatech have done to it. Interestingly this is the first time I have looked at Prolimatech’s Megahalems so it will be interesting to see what it has in store for us.
Prolimatech zählt noch nicht zu den alten "Hasen" im Kühlersegment, hat sich jedoch aber schon mehr als einen guten Ruf aufgebaut. Der "Genesis", welcher bereits seit einiger Zeit auf dem Markt ist, zeichnet sich durch eine Mischung aus klassischer Tower- und Top-Flow-Bauweise aus. Die Standardversion wurde mit der Zeit um farblich angepasste Version erweitert - darunter auch die hier getestete "Black Series"-Version. Die mitgelieferten Lüfter stechen durch Lüfterblätter aus Aluminium hervor, welche einen sehr hohen Luftdurchsatz bei gleichzeitig niedriger Lautstärke bieten sollen. Wie sich dieses Kühlermodell in unseren Kühlercharts schlägt, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht
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.
