The Thermalright Silver Arrow is a dual tower, dual 140mm fan heatsink for performance and lower noise Intel / AMD processor cooling. It's constructed around four 8mm diameter sintered metal wick copper heatpipes and thin, multi-winglet nickel plated aluminum fins. The end result is +165mm tall and boxy for sure, but it's also a heatsink that can comfortably operate at scarcely a whisper or ramp up its twin 140mm PWM fans to tackle performance cooling situations.
In today's market you are spoilt for choice when buying a CPU cooler, if your budget is £15 or £115 there will always be something out there for you, sometimes it may be in the form of air cooling with improved air flow over a stock fan, and some user's may go for the all-out water cooling or phase change products, but that all depends on how much stress they are willing to put their components under.
Zalman's CNPS9900 Max is built with better heat conducting 'composite heatpipes,' a more robust mounting system, a larger copper base plate that is machined flat and a 130mm diameter fan. The face lift and design revisions aren't cosmetic, the CNPS9900 Max heatsink performs much better than its forerunner and offers very good low noise cooling too. Like most Zalman heatsinks, the CNPS9900 Max is based off entirely original design concepts; two radial fin arrays surrounding an inset 130mm PWM fan that draws air past one set of cooling fins before exhausting it through the second.
At this point the Fenrir Series of coolers from Titan have made a name for themselves and have had good results so far with this line of CPU coolers. My first look was at the Fenrir, then there was the black and gold Fenrir Evo, both of which did ok in testing and put Titan in contention for a share of the market. As with most successful cooler designs, evolutions of that main idea are bound to develop as time goes by, and we are going to be looking at just that today.
Dynatron's Evo-11 heatsink hopes to make its mark with a unique implementation of 6mm heatpipes. Two rows of heatpipes, four below and three above form the base of the Evo-11 heatsink. All the heatpipes are set into a pretty hefty nickel plated aluminum base block, formed from three separate slabs of metal soldered together.
In this review Frostytech is testing Titan's new Hati TTC-NC15TZ exposed heatpipe base CPU cooler. The TTC-NC15TZ is capable of very good performance results with the supplied 120mm PWM fan operating at full speed, however that trend quickly changes direction once fan speed is brought down for quieter operation... Like many tower heatsinks, the Hati TTC-NC15TZ heatsink has three exposed 8mm diameter direct contact heatpipes at the base.
Frostytech is not going to waste your time by leaving the most important information till the very end of this review - the Nexus VCT-9000 heatsink is an interesting looking thermal solution, but it fails completely in its execution. Nexus have manufactured the VCT-9000 heatsink poorly, resulting in uneven exposed heatpipes that may not contact the processor properly. The heatsink does not perform very well as a result, so the rest is pretty much moot. It's a critical flaw that no heatsink can afford make, undermining all other potential innovations and leaving us with a 635g hunk of metal good for the scrap bin.
Aus dem Hause Noctua erreichte uns in diesem Monat eine neue Produktvorstellung, der NH-C14 Premium-Kühler. Dabei handelt es sich um einen überarbeiteten NH-C12 Kühler, der nun mit zwei 140 mm Lüftern ausgestattet ist und somit zu den stärksten Topflow Kühlern zählen dürfte. Diesen Kühler haben wir uns etwas genauer angesehen.
Today we have an excited brand landed on our doorstep; Deepcool. Deepcool is a new thermal & cooling solution vendor but you will be surprised with their wide range of product offering especially for CPU cooler, notebook cooler and etc. Ice Matrix 600 is one of their latest CPU coolers and let us find its capability compare with other legend CPU coolers.
The Noctua NH-C14 is a big heatsink for sure, but remarkably by orienting the fans and aluminum fin stack in a top-down direction, Noctua keep the heatsinks' height to just 130mm. That's a far cry more compact than your typical 160mm tall tower heatsink, but that hasn't made the NH-C14 into a slouch. Where Frostytech's Intel LGA775/1156 thermal test platform is concerned, the Noctua NH-C14 heatsink leads the Top 5 Heatsinks Chart. The competition is a little stiffer on the AMD front with the NH-C14 trailing the front runner by about 2.2°C.
