Let’s test the Prolimatech MK-26 VGA cooler, which has six heatpipes and can use up to two 140 mm fans. Check it out!
Prolimatech is going with the bigger is better theory with the release of its latest video card cooler, the MK-26.
Das folgende Problem sollte nahezu jedem bestens bekannt sein: In den letzten Jahren nahm die Verlustleistung der jeweils aktuellen Generation von Prozessoren und Grafikchips stetig zu. Während AMD und Intel bei ca. 100W realer thermischer Verlustleistung einen Gang runterschalten mussten, stellen ATI und nVidia noch immer neue Rekorde auf. Heute gilt es, beinahe 200W an thermischer Energie über Chipoberflächen an den Kühlkörper und von dort aus schnellstmöglich an die Luft abzugeben.
Prolimatech, founded in 2008 and based in Taiwan, is fairly new to the market but has already won praise for the high performance of their coolers. The Panther is a heatpipe tower cooler which has been proven to be a high performance and cost effective design. This is the CPU cooler I’ll be testing today.
Can Prolimatech hit the price vs performance sweet spot with their first quad heatpipe CPU cooler?
The Prolimatech Panther is a CPU cooler with a tower heatsink, four heatpipes and a 120 mm fan with LEDs. It seems to be a smaller version of the Armageddon CPU cooler, which we already reviewed. Let's test it and see how well it performs.
The Prolimatech Panther is the first CPU cooler from Prolimatech that features four heat pipes! The Panther was designed to provide effective cooling with a design that requires just one 120x120x25mm PWM fan. Read on to see how the Prolimatech Panther performs on our Intel Core i5-2500K processor at stock speeds and when overclocked up to 4.8GHz!
Prolimatech make some of the biggest and meatiest heatsinks on the market (such as the Genesis, Megahalems and so on) but today we have something relatively minuscule from Prolimatech in the form of the Panther CPU cooler. This is a quad 6mm heatpipe with a single 120mm red LED fan. It has been designed to be compact but high performance and it is targeted at the mid range user who values RAM compatibility. The Prolimatech Panther is not that far off your average tower heatsink CPU cooler at 161mm tall but is coming in at around £30 making it a very much value orientated option. It is also one of the very few Prolimatech CPU coolers to actually come bundled with a fan as they often provide only passive heatsinks and allow you to add your own fans.
Choosing a CPU cooler is always a tightrope walk between Style, Performance, and Price; So seeing a new name to the market usually raises some eyebrows. ProlimaTech is a relatively new name to the cooling market: With that, I have been given the ProlimaTech Panther CPU Cooler to take a look at. Lets take a look at ProlimaTechs' goal with this cooler:
Prolimatech, the maker of the popular Megahalem CPU cooler, has introduced two new Thermal Interfacing Materials (TIM) the PK2, and PK3 thermal compounds. Do these to new thermal compounds have what it takes to compete with the best thermal compounds on the market today? Only one way to find out, and that is to step inside and see how they perform against a couple of best known TIMs in the computing world, the Gelid GC-Extreme, and the Antec Formula 7.
