Noctua are one of the best CPU cooler manufacturers around, their CPU coolers have pushed air cooling to new highs over the last few years and most importantly, their NH-D14 was and still is one of the best on the market. The rule generally goes that if something isn’t broken, it doesn’t need fixing, but the NH-D14 is getting a little older now and the competition from companies like be quiet! and Thermaltake (to name but a few) means that Noctua have to do something to stay relevant. The NH-D15 is based on the NH-D14 design, but brings with a it a few tweaks and improvements that Noctua hope will help them compete with many of the newer rival products.
The CoolIT Systems Domino A.L.C. CPU cooler is quite an interesting concept. I like that more and more companies are designing compact, sealed units for the enthusiast. This makes it much more affordable for those who want to get into liquid cooling without the expense of having to know exactly what to buy. The fact that this is a completely sealed unit makes it that much nicer.
Der Markt der Grafikkartenkühler ist heiß umkämpft. Einer der ältesten Akteure ist das Schweizer Urgestein Arctic Cooling, das mit dem VGA-Silencer den Grundstein der heutigen Accelero-Serie legte. Den bereits länger auf dem Markt befindlichen Accelero Twin Turbo haben wir uns bereits vor knapp 2 Jahren angesehen, doch nun folgt mit dem Accelero Xtreme Plus ein wahres Monster, das sich gegen die starke Konkurrenz behaupten, ja diese übertrumpfen soll. Dabei ist der Name Xtreme Programm: Sowohl bei den Abmessungen, Lüfterzahl, Heatpipes, Gewicht als auch dem Preis setzt der Kühler Maßstäbe und soll doch auch mit einem geringen Betriebsgeräusch und einer einfachen Handhabung und hohen Kompatibilität punkten. Kann er diesen Erwartungen gerecht werden?
Ever have an issue getting the right CPU cooler for the tiniest of cases? Phanteks alleviates that issue with a 45mm tall solution in the PH-TC90LS.
Today we are going to look at a CPU cooler from Evercool, their latest low profile solution, the HPL-815. The HPL-815 should fit well in the HTPC market. The fan used on this cooler is a mere 15mm thick and spins between 1,000 and 4,000 RPM. When spinning at 2,200 RPM it is rated at less than 20 dBA which should be ideal for a low noise media center build.
Thermalright verfährt mit dem Silver Arrow genannten Kühler ein weiteres Mal nach dem Motto "je größer desto besser". Bereits mit dem IFX-14 konnte man damals Bestwerte im Kühlungsbereich erreichen. Der Name Arrow gleicht dem Schwestermodell von Cogage, jedoch versäumte es Thermalright nicht einige Modifikationen durchzuführen um im Bereich der Giganten einen der vordersten Plätze zu erreichen. Wie sich der Silver Arrow im Praxisbetrieb schlägt, zeigt der folgende Test.
Right about the middle of this past February, I got a random email from a company rep. asking if we wanted to take a look at their new cooler. The mail came from a company named AURAS Technologies. The name rang a bell, but I had to Google the company to get to the bottom of why I had a memory of that company name. What I was able to piece together is that they make not only most of the OEM and ODM coolers on the market, there are even a few coolers they produce that I recognized right away that get sold under other manufacturers names. If a company like AURAS Tech. can keep all the major players in the brand name game interested, they have to be doing something right!
Let’s talk about air coolers! Ok specifically let’s take a look at a pretty massive air cooler from our German friends over at be quiet!, the Dark Rock Pro 2. This is a large twin heat sink air cooler aimed at the more performance oriented consumer. With claims of massive cooling power, why don’t we see if this dark cooler deserves a place in your rig, or if it should be outcast to the dark side of the moon.
While the Thermalright HR-03 series are certainly great VGA coolers, they are also quite large and take up a good bit of space. Depending on the size of your CPU cooler, other motherboard components and how much space there is in your PC case, you may run into interference issues using the HR-03, especially in SLI or Crossfire. So in response to this Thermalright developed the T-Rad² specifically aimed at supporting multi-card configurations. With its slim 25mm height the T-Rad² offers the same nickel-plated copper heatpipe and aluminum fin cooling as the HR-03 series, but in a much thinner package. The T-Rad² GTX continues support for nVidia 8800/9800 and ATI 3800/4800 cards while adding the nVidia GT200 55nm core cards to the compatibility list.
Es ist allgemein bekannt dass ein Boxed Kühler sehr laut ist. Jedoch ist für viele User ein großer Towerkühler ein Nogo und viel zu teuer. Coolermaster hat nun den Vortex Plus auf den Markt gebracht. Dieser soll einen Boxed Kühler ersetzen und besser kühlen und dazu noch leiser zu Werke gehen. Ob er dies schafft, erfahrt Ihr in unseren heutigen Testbericht.
