Despite us being a review website that works with most companies in the industry, there is the odd company that often eludes us for various complex reasons I won't go into. Zalman has been one of those and in my time as the cooling reviewer at eTeknix I have only ever managed to scrape one Zalman product, that was the Zalman ZM-NC3500 Plus notebook cooler. Yet today I am quite excited as I have managed to get my hands on another Zalman product for review courtesy of the awesome guys over at Quiet PC.
Today we have a budget CPU cooler offering from Zalman in the form of the CNPS10X Optima Shark's Fin CPU cooler. As you can see from the above image it conforms to the typical style of CPU cooler that we'd expect to see in the "budget tower heatsink" market at the £20-£25~ price point. In fact on the face of things it looks practically identical to the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Evercool Venti, SilverStone AR01 with the exception of the fan and some marginal design differences on the heatsink.
Thankfully the Zalman CNPS10X Optima Shark's Fin comes in at the lower end of that price point with a tiny retail price of £20.57 as we write, so let's see what £20 really gets you these days and see how much this Zalman CPU cooler delivers.
Standing just 45mm tall, the Evercool HPL-815 is a low profile heatsink suited for use in 2U thick computer cases. It's equipped with a top mounted 80x80x15mm PWM fan that rotates at speeds of 4000-1000RPM, exhausting air downwards into a 23mm tall array of quilted aluminum fins. In fact, of all the sub-60mm low profile heatsinks Frostytech has tested the HPL-815 ranks 7°C cooler (at 4000RPM fan speed) than the next best thermal solution.
Enermax has entered the CPU cooler market, and we are reviewing their first model: the ETS-T40-TA, which has a tower heatsink, four U-shaped heatpipes, and a 120 mm fan.
We tested SpinQ VT CPU cooler from Thermaltake, which have a very unique design, with a cylindrical heatsink and a centrifugal fan. Check it out!
I always enjoy the feeling of having something soft and warm on my lap. It feels good and comfortable, but sometimes my lap gets a little bit too hot. Obviously, I was talking about my kittens, not sure where your mind went, haha. I got two new kittens a few weeks ago, and they definitely do a good job at keeping my lap warm. It is almost as if I left my laptop on my lap for a few hours -- which isn't a very typical thing for me when I am at home. However, when I'm on the go, my lap happens to be a convenient place, and I guess the whole 'lap' part of laptop really starts to show. In the past, some of my laptops seems to be a mini heater. Normally, you would expect the thought of something smoking hot in my lap being enjoyable; however, this kind of hot instead reminds me of sunburn. In my last review for the Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim, the cooler was designed to be lightweight and portable. This time, we are going to look at a different kind of portable laptop cooler. While this one isn't meant to be something you would like to carry around, it still works wonders on your lap. This brings about the next question. Is it ready to please your lap, while you are pleasing your girlfriend? (Of course, by 'pleasing', I mean talking to her on Skype or Windows Live Messenger. You guys really need to stop thinking about those other kinds of things). Well, let's take a look at what's chilling today with the Cooler Master NotePal LapAir!
We tested the Arrow, a CPU cooler from Cogage that has a twin heatsink, one 120-mm fan and four heatpipes.
Toujours en quête de performance, et peut-être de démesure, Prolimatech nous revient avec le Genesis, un radiateur CPU au design atypique, un peu comme la musique de notre ami Phil. Un dual Tower, dont une des tours est à l'horizontale, afin d'apporter un peu de souffle à la mémoire et quelques autres composants autour du socket.
Monstre d'esthétisme inutile ou puissance brute ?
Chad checks out the Cryorig H7 which is a compact, zero-interference CPU cooler that impresses for its price. Is it for you? Read on and take a look.
