Although the winter season is not the most ideal time for people to go out to get a brand new CPU Cooler either to replace the stock and somewhat weak (and loud) Intel/AMD HSF or upgrade to something better from an aftermarket solution due to low temperatures still new products are released almost on a daily basis and it's our job to test them. Now as most of you know tower (U-type) CPU Coolers have been around for over half a decade but aside minor design and size differences the main concept/base is always the same. However this is quite understandable since their cooling performance levels are already very good and in some cases they are even maxed out which is why many of the leading manufacturers in the market are turning towards compact liquid CPU Coolers. Not everyone however can afford a liquid CPU Cooler and there are always those who can but don't want to spend much so because of that today we decided to test the latest U-type tower design CPU Cooler by Spire, the X2.9883.
be quiet! hat sich bei deutschen Silent-Enthusiasten längst zu einer der führenden Marken gemausert. Vor zwei Jahren sorgte das Unternehmen durch die ersten beiden CPU-Kühler für Aufsehen, welche nicht nur exzellente Kühlleistung versprachen, sondern auch durch ein besonders edles Äußeres positiv auf sich aufmerksam machen konnten. Da sich be quiet! nicht auf den Lorbeeren ausruhte, führte man bald darauf die zweite Generation der Dark-Rock-Reihe ein und rundete mit den Shadow-Rock-Kühlern das Portfolio nach unten hin ab. Wir haben drei der aktuellen Kühler einem ausführlichen Test unterzogen - den Dark Rock 2, Dark Rock Pro 2 und den Shadow Rock Topflow SR1.
The be quiet! Shadow Rock Topflow SR1 uses topflow configuration to bring the overall height, including fan, down to 126mm, while still retaining features of larger coolers. Four 8mm C-Shaped heatpipes run through the be quiet! Shadow Rock Topflow’s copper contact block and through an aluminum fin array. Air flow is handled by be quiet!’s acclaimed 135mm Silent Wings 1500rpm PWM fan, capable of 66.8CFM at an astoundingly quiet 23.5 dBA. This type of attention to silence makes the Shadow Rock Topflow a perfect choice for HTPC users. Be quiet!’s versatile mounting kit is compatible with all current Intel (775/115/1156/1366/2011) and AMD (AM2/3/FM1/FM2) sockets and provides simple, solid installation. The be quiet! Shadow Rock Topflow comes backed with a 3-year warranty.
Sadly, I haven't had the opportunity to work with Phanteks much in my time here at eTeknix. However, today I am able to take a look at a set of fans from Phanteks. As usual they have the trademark mouthful-of-letters-and-numbers names that Phanteks like to endow upon their products. The PH-F140TS is a 140mm fan while the PH-F120S is a 120mm fan. Both are intended for cases and heatsinks and both come with 3 pin connections.
Gegen Ende des letzten Jahres stellte Noctua mit dem NH-L9 einen neuen Low-Profile-Kühler vor. Mit den extrem kompakten Abmaßen und der damit einhergehenden, geringen Bauhöhe von lediglich 37 Millimetern, unterbietet der neuste Spross der Kühlerschmiede sogar den Intel-Boxed-Kühler deutlich. Damit offerieren die Österreicher eine platzsparende Alternative für HTPCs. Doch neben dem NH-L9 kann Noctua mit weiteren Top-Flow-Radiatoren aufwarten, die sich in allen Belangen deutlich unterscheiden Zu diesem Anlass nehmen wir nicht nur den Neuling selbst, sondern zwei weitere Top-Flow-Kühler der österreichischen Edelschmiede unter die Lupe.
Zalman FX100 Passiv-CPU-Kühler im Test Mit dem FX100 präsentiert der koreanische Kühlerspezialist Zalman den lang erwarteten Passiv-Prozessorkühler im charakteristischen Würfel-Design. Wir testen den Lautlos-Riesen.
The Spire X2 120mm PWM fan runs between 600 and 1500 RPM and is practically inaudible with noise levels between 10 and 22 dBA. The X2 120mm fan is capable of pushing 62.53 CFM at 1500 RPM while producing 1.74mm H2O of static air pressure. To further reduce noise levels the X2 features removable silicone rubber pads on each of the screw holes. Using their Nano Tech Bearing technology they can increase the fan blade size and achieve a MTBF of 70,000 hours. The X2 120mm PWM fan features four blue LEDS. In addition red LED lighting and 140mm, 92mm, and 80mm sizes are available.
The larger of the two new NH-U series coolers arrives for testing. Let's have a look at the new NH-U14S from Noctua.
Im April 2013 hat der beliebte Kühler und Lüfter Hersteller Noctua seine neueste NH-U Serie vorgestellt. Einen davon haben wir euch schon gezeigt, den NH-U12S. Heute folgt der größere Bruder, der NH-U14S, den wir euch etwas näher zeigen möchten.
