SilverStone are a renowned manufacturer of computer cases and we have reviewed a lot of their cases before. However, we've never really delved into any SilverStone CPU coolers despite the fact SilverStone have been making these for a very long time and they produce some of the best CPU coolers in the industry. SilverStone are very well known for their HTPC cases, such as the Grandia series, and as a result they also make low profile CPU coolers that can be used with these cases.
Today we have the SilverStone NT06 Pro Low Profile CPU cooler with us on the test bench (Specifications can be found here). On the face of things this is a very interesting CPU cooler. You've got 6 heat pipes, a low profile heat sink design that accepts a 120mm fan both above and below, a very nice supplied 120mm fan and a flexible mounting kit supporting all major sockets.
As usual we will be giving the SilverStone NT06 Pr0 the eTeknix heat treatment so read on to see how this product from SilverStone performs.

The latest additions to Noctua’s NH-U CPU Coolers are the NH-U12S and NH-U14S. They are the top-models of the U series by Noctua and offer premium-quality CPU cooling. They are similar in many ways, except that NH-U14S has been boosted up a little. In terms of size, both have slim design to be as much RAM-compatible as possible.
Both coolers come with power managed fans by Noctua. The NH-U12S is coupled with NF-F12 PWM while the NH-U14S comes with NF-A15 PWM. Both fans are at the high-end of power managed fans by Noctua, offering extremely low noise for 120 mm and 140 mm. respectively.

GlacialTech has products in a few different areas of PC hardware, but one of their primary markets is in coolers. The F101 is supposedly inspired by the General Electric turbofan jet engine of the same name. Personally, I don't think this was the wisest of marketing decisions. After all, when I think of a jet engine, I think of an ear-shatteringly loud device that shoots a column of flame out of it's backside—not qualities I want to see in a CPU cooler. Luckily, nobody in marketing seems to be talking to the engineers, as the F101 is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a jet engine.

Der NH-D14 ist Noctuas neuster Angriff auf die Spitze und soll Dank Doppel-Lüfter-Konzept und den genannten Vorzügen des Vorgängers die Konkurrenz im Regen stehen lassen. Ob es den Österreichern gelingt, sich die Pole-Position unter den Nagel zu reißen, verrät unser Test.

Founded in 2005, Xigmatek have not been around for long but we have reviewed many of their products, including heatsinks and several PSUs. The heatsink market is certainly a crowded area to compete in, full of different products with various design ethics and applications.

SilverStone have created an extensive range of HTPC cases over the past few years and they have also developed CPU coolers to go with those. The NT01 Pro CPU cooler we have here today from SilverStone is a totally redesigned version of the older NT01-E CPU cooler. This cooler is designed to tackle the latest generation of processors in either active or passive modes. The design of the cooler is really something quite unique and yet strange, the NT01 Pro only takes 70mm or 80mm cooling fans so the amount of air you'll be able to move is going to be a lot less than 120mm CPU coolers.

With three GTX 470s folding all the time, or at least when I’m not gaming, the heat that gets dumped into the room with stock coolers can be unbearable to say the least. Not only do they allow for rather high temperatures, there isn’t a set of headphones that I own that can drown out the sound of the fans at anything over 80% speed. Along the way I ended up with water cooling two of the 470s and the third sat across the room on the stock cooler awaiting a replacement to improve on both the heat level and sound levels.

Can Prolimatech's innovation win over the CPU cooling market with their uniquely designed Genesis?

It used to be that when someone mentioned the name Corsair, most people would think of memory as the only product that they were well known for. Over time thy branched out a bit and started delivering a quality built power supply and they're still a leader in that respect. Fast forward to more recent times and we find Corsair is developing products in both cases and CPU cooling. With cases like the Obsidian Series cases and the Hydro series CPU coolers, Corsair has kicked down doors releasing new products to give users an almost complete Corsair solution for everything but the motherboard, CPU and expansion cards; otherwise you can one stop shop for most of the rest of the major components.
