Cooling is very important to us here at the Overclock Intelligence Agency. Sure, good hardware is necessary to build a stable, fast system, but a good heatsink/fan combination can be the most cost-effective way to turn a decent rig into a great one. It comes as no surprise, then, that we tend to review a lot of cooling products. Today we have for review one of the newer CPU coolers from Cooler Master, their Hyper 212 Plus. The Hyper 212 Plus belongs to Cooler Master’s performance line, aiming to provide overclock-worthy temperatures to users on a budget.

Erst letztes Jahr feierte der niederländische Hersteller Phanteks mit dem mächtigen Doppel-Turm-Kühler PH-TC14-PE einen erfolgreichen Einstand im Bereich der CPU-Kühler. Gemeinhin gilt dieser seitdem als eine der potentesten Kühllösungen am Markt. Heute wollen wir den zweiten Kühler von Phanteks - den PH-TC14-CS - genauer unter die Lupe nehmen. Dieser wird im Top-Flow-Design gefertigt und ist was die Erscheinung angeht, nicht minder imposant.

One of the best things the PC industry has to offer is that no matter how many manufacturers there are around at any given time new ones always rise to strengthen the competition and make more options available for consumers. Such events are especially good whenever people who have spent several years working for some of the leading manufacturers come together to share their massive experience in order to create something they can call their own. Raijintek is one such brand formed by people who used to work for CoolerMaster and Xigmatek and it was officially revealed to the public just a few days ago along with the introduction of their first 5 products 4 of which are CPU Air Coolers (Aidos, Themis, Themis Evo and Ereboss) and one is an 130mm case fan (Aeolus α). Today we will be taking a look at the two smaller models of the line that arrived here roughly a week ago the Aidos and Themis CPU Coolers.

Arctic begann mit Prozessorkühlern und hat sich in der Zwischenzeit zu einem Hersteller für PC-Zubehör aller Art entwickelt. Mit dem Freezer i30 genannten Prozessorkühler in klassischer Tower-Bauweise will Arctic nun viel Kühlleistung für einen recht geringen Preis bieten. Speziell die "Direct Touch Heatpipes" und auch der verwendete Lüfter soll zu einer guten Kühlleistung mit geringer Lautstärke beitragen. Wie sich dieses Kühlermodell in unseren Kühlercharts schläg, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht.

Phanteks are a brand that seem to have slipped under the eTeknix radar in our short existence since 2008. Yet Phanteks make some of the best fans and CPU coolers on the market, even if their range of products is quite limited. Phanteks are most for their PH-TC14PE CPU cooler, know as the NH-D14 killer to some, yet reviews were generally inconclusive and suggest that both PH-TC14PE an NH-D14 are on somewhat equal footing. Either way we are not here today to discuss the PH-TC14PE but Phanteks latest mid-range CPU cooler the PH-TC12DX.
In terms of specifications this unit is pretty standard for its price point. We’ve got a couple of 120mm PWM fans, four heat pipes and an average tower heatsink unit. Yet according to what Phanteks tell us there is a lot more to this heatsink than just that. With advanced P.A.T.S and C.P.S.C technologies, surely we should expect a level of performance that goes beyond what we’d expect from this type of cooler? Well that is for the review to reveal. Below you can check out the full specifications of the PH-TC12DX.

When I think of Noctua I am reminded of their very large and powerful CPU coolers. These cooler have rivaled even some liquid cooling systems. Noctua knows cooling but these larger CPU coolers do not fit in all systems. That is why they have come up with the NH-U12S and NH-U14S which are guaranteed to fit in your system even if you have memory with larger heatspreaders. Today we are taking a look at Noctua’s NH-U12S. This cooler features a tower design with aluminum fins and a copper base and heatpipes. There is a single 120 mm Noctua NF-F12 PWM fan and the cooler uses Noctua’s SecurFirm2 mounting system for easy installation. Will this smaller cooler still provide the excellent cooling that we know Noctua for? Read on as we find out.
