We are finally half way through the summer and i can't really say I’ll be missing it, not when temperatures here reach up to 43 degrees Celsius. Certainly each season offers different things and although i love the sea i have to admit that I’m more of a winter person myself as are most people i know (especially the ones who do the same job). However since we are still in the summer period i can't think of a more suitable review than a review surrounding one of the latest CPU Coolers to hit the market and more specifically the SB-E (Sandy bridge-E) compatible version of the award winning Archon by Thermalright.
Tuniq's Tower 120 Extreme is an enthusiast grade heatsink that cools very well, pretty quietly. In fact I'll save you the suspense and tell you straight up that it tops Frostytech's Intel reference chart and that it's one of the Top 5 best-ever heatsinks tested on Frostytech's AMD reference chart to date. And that's not comparing the Tower 120 Extreme against five... or even ten recent heatsinks... Frostytech.com compares it to well over 250 different heatsinks!
Today we are getting a look at the newest offering from Arctic Cooling, the Freezer 13 Pro. The Freezer 13 Pro is the newest incarnation of the ever popular Freezer Line from Arctic Cooling. Join us to see how it stacks up against coolers like the Zalman CNPS 9900 Max.
Il fut un temps où Swiftech était plus connu pour ses radiateurs CPU que pour ses solutions watercooling. Après un arrêt complet de cette première gamme, la marque américaine a décidé de revenir en force, avec un modèle tour en 120mm visant les grosses performances, quitte à sacrifier un peu le silence. Un pari réussi ? ou pas...
Top down cooling has its advantages, though tower cooling is usually the preferred method given its compact footprint. In this review Frostytech is testing out a heatsink from Titan that aims to satisfy both tower and top-top heatsink designs, in one. The Titan Fenrir Siberia Edition TTC-NC55TZRB heatsink is built around five 8mm diameter copper heatpipes which extend in two directions from a copper base block to independent fin stacks, essentially making one large CPU cooler from separate 'tower' and 'top-down' heatsinks.
Today I've got an exciting review for you, well not really, it's a fan, how exciting can that be right? It does have an interesting design though, the blades are dimpled like a golf ball and supposedly reduce noise levels by up to 15%, while still running at the same speed and providing the same amount of air flow as other fans. The fan is a 140mm fan from Zaward called the Golf GII, so read on to check it out.
Alpenfohn may be a brand more associated with their high performance products but today we are examining their Alpenfohn Sella CPU cooler, this is Alpenfohn’s attempt at making a much more budget friendly CPU cooler option. The Alpenfohn Sella is a 92/90mm fan based CPU cooler, similar to products like the SilverStone AR02 and the Cooler Master Hyper TX3. With three 6mm heat pipes, a 900 to 2200 RPM 92mm fan and a pretty thick heatsink – the Alpenfohn Sella promises punchy performance without a premium price point coming in at the sub-£20 region.
With the Alpenfohn Sella we have compatibility with the main sockets on the market such LGA 115X (0/5/6), LGA 775, AM2(+) and AM3(+). There is no official support for FM1 or FM2 (but FM1/2 are AM3(+) inter-compatible) APUs as far as I am aware and LGA 2011 and LGA 1366 are not supported. Though you can buy an LGA 2011 specific version (which they do make). Despite this the Alpenfohn Sella covers the main bases, that is socket LGA 115X and AM3(+)/FM(1/2) so most users will find this suits their platform. Without any further ado let us now proceed through the review and see what this budget CPU cooler from Alpenfohn can offer us.
Cooler Master are well known for producing a range of high quality CPU coolers that offer excellent performance at competitive price points. Today we are going to look at one of their latest CPU coolers, the Hyper 612S which on paper should deliver a decent level of cooling without breaking the bank.
Creativity comes from looking for the unexpected and stepping outside your own experience." - Masaru Ibuka. This quote defines an effective business practice that has made many companies explode with growth. The NXZT HAVIK 140 is an example of a company stepping outside of its normal products range, and to produce something they have not produced before. Apple, for instance, probably would not have be where it is today if the iPod was never developed. Another example, if Ford had not used assembly line techniques for mass production, and provided inexpensive goods with high wages, the company wouldn't have been any better off than the other automotive manufacturers of its time. It isn't hard to see that doing something different or entering a new area can certainly provide benefits to both the company and the consumers. The question is, will the HAVIK 140 provide the same kind of benefits? Well, it wouldn't be fair to spoil that answer; you will just have to read on to find out. Now, before we move on, I keep asking myself what HAVIK means. Well, HAVIK is a homophone of the word 'havoc', so I guess you could say the NZXT HAVIK 140 will pillage the heat coming from your processor. However, havik is also Dutch for hawk, and I can't help but wonder if it will soar above the competition? Let's see about that!
Can Prolimatech hit the price vs performance sweet spot with their first quad heatpipe CPU cooler?
