We tested Prolimatech Armageddon CPU cooler, which has a slim heatsink, six U-shaped heatpipes, and supports two 140-mm fans.
Back in September and October of 2009 there was a lot of activity in the thermal paste marketplace. Gelid updated their product range with GC-2 and Arctic Cooling followed up soon after with their replacement for MX-2, MX-3. We reviewed both and found the MX-3 was a slightly better performer. Then, to our surprise Gelid immediately updated their range again with GC-Extreme in an attempt to out-do MX-3 and we found that to match the Arctic Cooling product in performance. Since that flurry of activity things have been quiet, other than Arctic Cooling changing their name to Arctic, that is until today when a box arrived on our test bench containing their new MX-4 paste.
Over the past year and a half, I have seen quite a few ideas at fan controls based inside of cases. While the technology has improved, and I don't see the same stopping of the fans or the limitations the older controllers showed. With all of those built into a case there are simple dials that work to limit the incoming voltage to give the end user the ability to change the fans speeds depending on the demand, or just to tune them for the noise factor. Moving from the case controllers, as there are always some that want more finite control of fans in cases that don't offer controllers built in. This usually leads to the purchase of a rheostat style, bay using, and mounted fan controller. There are many varieties of this type of controller, and their specifications and powering capabilities may or may not cover your specific needs.
Mit dem Ninja 3 präsentiert der japanische Kühlerspezialist Scythe die nunmehr dritte Auflage des Prozessorkühler-Klassikers Ninja. Mit gewohnt wuchtigen Abmessungen, acht Heatpipes und vielseitiger Lüfterausstattung will Scythe fünf Jahre nach der ersten Ninja-Revision noch punkten. ComputerBase testet die Neuauflage.
With the NH-C12P SE14, Noctua has another quality cooler that lives up to their reputation of quiet operation thanks in part to the included 140mm NF-P14 fan. The SecuFirm2 mounting hardware remains one of the easiest to install among high end coolers and cooling performance is good. Full compatibility with all current AMD and Intel sockets mean that no matter what CPU you have, the NH-C12P SE14 has you covered. The C-type design of the NH-C12P SE14 should allow for a wide range of motherboard and case compatibility.
Along with the innovation in computer case design comes an increasing number of new fan designs. Manufacturers try to tune noise and performance with tweaks to rotational speed, blade design, and even grill and fan chassis alterations, giving the enthusiast a broad selection of fans with differing acoustic and airflow levels. SilverStone Technology has introduced a new version of the giant 180mm fans used in their "vertical motherboard" chassis series (the Raven RV01, Raven RV02, and Fortress FT02): the SilverStone SST-AP181 Air Penetrator fan. Benchmark Reviews compares the performance of this new fan to the stock fans in a Fortress FT02 case to see if the extra performance justifies their price.
Thermolab's BADA2010 heatsink is equipped with one 95mm PWM fan mounted to the heatsinks' raw aluminum fins with permanently attached rubber vibration absorbing posts. At full speed the Protechnic MGT9212LR-W25 fan rotates at 2100RPM, the baseline is 1000RPM. Weighing 521 grams, Thermolab's BADA2010 heatsink stands 135mm tall and installs onto Intel socket 775/1155/1156/1366 and AMD socket AM2/AM3 processors. Forming the backbone of this heatsink are three 6mm diameter exposed base copper heatpipes.
Da die GTX 470 eine sehr beliebte Grafikkarte ist, haben wir uns dazu entschlossen ein großes GPU-Kühler Roundup zu machen. Wir möchten die Vorteile eines GPU-Kühlers aufzeigen, damit ihr euch besser entscheiden könnt, haben wir 4 Hersteller ins Rennen geschickt. Diese wären einmal Koolance, Aquacomputer, EK Waterblock und Watercool.
The Icy Vision is a VGA cooler with five heatpipes and two 92 mm fans. Let's take a look at its performance.
Aircooling
Zu einer guten Kühlung gehört eine gute Wärmeleitpaste. Bei einigen Anwendungen wie beispielsweise bei Wasserkühlungen kann die richtige Wärmeleitpaste den Ausschlag über die entscheidenden letzten zwei Grad geben. Aber auch bei Luftkühlung ist eine gute Wärmeleitpaste von Vorteil, gerade wenn übertaktet wird oder das System besonders leise laufen soll. Wir haben uns vier aktuelle Pasten von GELID, Noctua und Coolink angesehen und diese miteinander sowie mit dem Klassiker Arctic Silver 5 in unserem ersten „Short Report“ verglichen.
