BeQuiet's Shadow Rock Slim heatsink stands 159mm tall and has a footprint of 130x74mm so it will fit most motherboards where space between the memory slots and videocard is on the tight side. The Shadow Rock Slim heatsink weighs 730 grams and is constructed around four 6mm diameter copper heatpipes onto which are swaged raw aluminum cooling fins.
As a single fan heatsink the Zalman CNPS14X performs very well, but the higher the heat load the better the advantage there is to be gained from adding two more fans... so... Zalman include extra fan brackets for users who want to add their own 140mm fans.
Since this is a novel approach, Frostytech is going to test Zalman's CNPS14X heatsink in its single fan configuration (stock) and also in a three fan configuration.
With the increasing number of fans that most enthusiasts tend to have in their systems these days, the ability to control these becomes a vital factor in being able to stay in control of both temperatures and acoustics. Most cases now have 4 to 8 fans and most high end CPU coolers need 2 fans or mores. Even some relatively high end motherboards don't offer enough fan ports for your needs, or aren't close enough to the fans to allow you to plug fan cables in. That combined with the fact fan control software can often be buggy and problematic means the modern enthusiast system can easily become a total nightmare.
While our CPU cooler reviews of late have mainly be concerned with high performance heatsinks, it is still important for us to remember that it is the budget offerings which sell the most and get used the most. That said, today we have a $30 heatsink courtesy of Evercool and it is their brand new Venti (HPQ 12025) CPU cooler. We already brought you the news of this product back in December last year, and promised we would have a review for you. Today, we duly deliver on that promise.

ith the SpinQ, Thermaltake is breaking new ground in aesthetics and design. The blue LED centrifugal fan and innovative fin design make for an interesting product that is visually exciting and would be a definite asset in a windowed case. As far as cooling performance, it is as good, or better than the majority of high-end coolers on the market at stock voltages.
The Scythe Mugen 2 has long been the CPU cooler to beat with its exquisite balance between cooling performance, noise production and price. Until now other manufacturers have not been able to equal its performance for the same humble prices. The previously released Mugen 3 disappointed us when we tested it, the price was higher while the performance was worse. Recently Scythe introduced updated versions of both the Mugen 3 and the Ninja 3, hoping to recapture the glory days of the Mugen 2. Of course we submitted both coolers to our rigorous testing procedure to find out: Has Scythe finally created a worthy successor to the Mugen 2?
Im Gegensatz zum Vorgänger, dem Freezer 7 Pro Revision 2 zeigt sich der neue Freezer 13 wesentlich korpulenter.
Außerdem hat der Hersteller Arctic Cooling seinem neusten Freezer-Modell eine Heatpipe mehr spendiert.
Statt den beim Freezer 7 Pro vorhandenen drei Heatpipes, finden sich am Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 vier Heatpipes und auf dem neuen Freezer 13 werkelt wie beim Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 ein 92mm großer Lüfter.
Rein optisch und preislich ähnelt der Freezer 13 dem Revoltec Pipe Tower Pro.
Aber wie sieht es mit der Kühlleistung aus und wie hört er sich an?
Die Testergebnisse werden es klären und wie bei den allerersten Kühlertests der Redaktion ocinside.de vor mehr als 10 Jahren, gibt es natürlich auch in diesem Kühlertest wieder den Kühlersound zum Anhören.
Since the beginning of 2014 alone 3 of my friends decided to build their very own HTPC systems and all three turned to me for advice regarding what hardware components they should choose. Fortunately money is not really an issue for either of them but since their goal was to keep the cost inside a specific range it did take us a while to locate the ideal components. The trick was to find components with excellent price/performance ratio and for good or bad that wasn't very easy especially since all three chose very small mini ITX compatible cases by Streacom and Impactics. Luckily both Noctua and Thermalright offered very good and compact solutions acceptable by all three but since it's always nice to know what's out there today we'll be testing the latest AXP-200 Muscle by Thermalright.
Thinking Mini-ITX or HTPC for your next build? Thermalright drops off the AXP-100 made exactly for these environments, and it comes with options.
Lucifero, il portatore della luce; il signore dell’oscurità, il primo angelo ed il rinnegato. Cosa centra tutto questo con un dissipatore, ci chiediamo noi? Bella domanda. Comunque sia, ecco il nuovo arrivato in casa Deepcool. Signori e signore, il Lucifer ! Singola torre, mastodontico, potenzialità fanless fino a 130W teorici ed una ventola da 140mm preinstallata, il tutto con un prezzo di acquisto invidiabile. Test termici su due piattaforme, 2011 e 1366, comprese delle prove con ventole noctua anche in Push/Pull, oltre a test acustici. Qui c’è molta carne al fuoco, bisogna ammetterlo. Fuoco, brace e lucifero, con un dissipatore mi viene in mente una grigliata. Nell’inferno sicuramente farò parte del girone dei golosi, tanto per rimanere in tema di cerchie dantesche, zolfo e fiamme. Di tutto questo, una recensione ! Buona lettura (e dato che ci siamo, buon appetito) !
