DEEPCOOL is the first to offer us for review both a 2.1 audio system and a notebook cooler all wrapped into one device. It's time to take a look at the new M6 Audio Cooling Pad.
Although the traditional tower type CPU Air Coolers have reached their maximum possible cooling potential based on today’s technology that doesn't mean manufacturers are just going to give up in their pursue for something better. Obviously that's always a good thing for consumers around the world especially since competition always results in even better products and lower prices but one has to wonder how long it will be before manufacturers come up with new and innovative ways of cooling. That being said for the majority of consumers even low/mid-end CPU Air Coolers are more than enough to keep their systems running at good temperatures while for the most demanding ones there are always higher performance complete water cooling kits available in the market. However there are also some CPU Air Coolers capable of meetings the demands of even the most demanding users around and according to Deepcool the Lucifer is amongst them.
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) !
Today we are looking at the Killer Whale Premium CPU cooler from Deepcool. The Killer Whale Premium is an all copper downdraft cooler with six heatpipes that weighs in at a massive 1.23 kilograms. Join us as we see how the Killer Whale Premium stacks up against coolers like the Noctua NH-C14 and Corsair A50/H70 on our Intel Core i7-930 test system.
The large top-down DeepCool Killer Whale Premium heatsink has a jaw dropping weight of 1,225grams, or 1.225kg. Connecting the hefty copper heatspreader on the Killer Whale Premium with the big array of copper cooling fins are six 6mm diameter heatpipes that are soldered to the former and press-fit over the latter. A large and moderately audible 48mm thick 120mm PWM fan hangs over the copper fins, spinning at 1000-1800RPM. The fan moves approximately 78CFM, while generating at most 52.6 dBA and at least 36 dBA noise
DeepCool's Killer Whale heatsink is a top-down cooler built around two critical things. It has a hefty solid copper heat spreader (base) onto which six 6mm diameter heatpipes have been soldered, and a large and potentially very quiet 48mm thick 120mm PWM fan that spins at 1000-1800RPM. The fan moves approximately 78CFM, while generating at most 53.5 dBA and at least a whisper quiet 34.8 dBA. The Killer Whale stands 140mm tall and weighs a hefty 900 grams, but if you were to replace the fan with a more compact 120mm model that height could be as little as 92mm + fan thickness.
DEEPCOOL, with their latest coolers offering top tier performance, is really looking to be a worthy adversary in the cpu cooling industry. The Killer Whale really shined during testing and beat out most of the coolers that I had on hand to test against it.
Today however the focus is on another technology which has seen broad adoption: exposed heatpipe bases. Like natural evolution, this thermal design technique took hold and displaced heavy copper heatspreaders about two years ago. The result is a market filled with exposed heatpipe base CPU coolers, mostly in tower form. The DeepCool's IceWing 5 Pro is however a 'suspended heatsink', which is good because it lowers total height to a moderate 131mm
Deepcool's IceEdge 400XT heatsink is a mid-size tower cooler that stands a modest 127mm high and weighs 585 grams. At its heart are four, 6mm diameter copper heatpipes and a 92x100mm stack of dark nickel plated aluminum fins. As with DeepCool's other heatsinks, the IceEdge 400XT ships with a novel rubber clad 92mm PWM fan. Every bit of the fan frame that makes contact with the heatsink is covered in a rubbery material so motor vibrations are greatly diminished. The 92mm DeepCool brand fan spins at 2200-900RPM and moves ~40CFM air according to the maker.
Deepcool's IceBlade Pro V2.0 heatsink stands 161mm tall and weighs a solid 981 grams. At the heart of this boxy heatsink are four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes, nickel plated along with everything else, including the aluminum fins. The heatpipes are exposed at the base to make direct contact with the processor and ideally, reduce thermal joint resistance.
