Thermaltake has an incredible cooler on their hands. The Frio is designed to cool all modern processors, even while overclocked, and it should do so very well. Thermaltake even includes a second 120mm fan in the box, so if you want the additional cooling that a push-pull configuration can provide, you don't have to purchase anything else.
We recently sent out a call to a handful of cooling manufacturers; folks that most in the enthusiast community should be quite familiar with. What we wound up with is a sampling of the best low noise socket 1156 CPU coolers from Zalman, Noctua, Thermalright, Cooler Master, Zaward, and Thermaltake to compare in this shootout.
Der schon länger erhältliche Top-Flow Kühler „Samurai ZZ“ des Kühlungsspezialisten Scythe ist aufgrund seiner Größe geradezu prädestiniert, Einzug in heimische HTPCs zu erhalten. Wie er sich in Bezug auf Lautstärke und Kühlleistung auf einer Intel Core i7 CPU schlägt, zeigt der folgende Testbericht.
Der Megahalems von Prolimatech ist mittlerweile aus keiner Kaufberatung, welche sich im High-Tech-Segment befindet, wegzudenken. Vor rund einem Jahr vorgestellt, ist der Kühler nicht mehr der Jüngste und so wurde es Zeit etwas frischen Wind in den Markt zu bringen. So schickt sich der Armageddon an, seinen Teil am Kühler-Markt zu sichern. Unter anderem sollen hierbei ein paar Änderungen zum Megahalems helfen, sich auf dem Markt zu etablieren. Zum einen unterstützt der Armageddon nun auch 140-mm-Lüfter und die Fläche zu den Seiten ist gewachsen, zum anderen wurde in der Tiefe hingegen Platz eingespart und so sollte der Kühler weniger Probleme mit voll bestückten RAM-Bänken bekommen. Eins hat sich aber nicht verändert und so liefert Prolimatech den Armageddon wieder ohne Lüfter aus. Caseking setzt an dieser Schwachstelle an und bietet den Kühler in diversen Bundles an. Die sogenannte "Wind Edition" ist mit zwei Xigmatek XLF-F1454 Blueline LED-Lüftern ausgestattet und soll so für eine starke Performance bei ruhigem Betrieb sorgen. Ob dies gelingt und was ihr noch vom Kühler erwarten dürft, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
Cooling a processor can be a real challenge when you are looking for good performance with a minimum of noise. Typically you'll have to sacrifice something along the way. High performance normally means a higher noise threshold, while quiet heatsinks usually don't cool very well.
Corsair has really put quite the name out for themselves. With really top notch power supplies, Corsair built quite a following as well. Not too long ago they opened their minds and started designing chassis such as the Obsidian 800D. This chassis , again, was top notch with no stone unturned, keeping the Corsair name intact. On top of what I have seen or bought myself over the years in memory sticks or power supplies, I have now gotten my dirty little grubbies on one of the most popular coolers on many forums.
The stock cooler included with retail-packaged CPUs represents the manufacturer's best efforts to provide a cooler that will keep the processor within its temperature limits at stock clock speeds, all for the lowest cost. But if you want to overclock your system, you're going to need an aftermarket cooler. The ideal cooler would be inexpensive, quiet, easy to install, and keep your CPU icy cold under all loads and conditions. But of course, in the real world it's always a balancing act among these various parameters. CoolIT Systems' new ECO A.L.C. ECO-R120 CPU cooler aims to balance these requirements by offering an easy-to-install sealed liquid cooling system for your CPU. Using both stock and high-speed fans, Benchmark Reviews compares it to the top air coolers and the Corsair H50 liquid cooling system on an overclocked and overvolted Intel Core i7-920 processor.
Aftermarket cooling solutions have really stabilized over the past couple years, no longer are we seeing strange and exotic designs, and the solid blocks we find with our retail processors are the only remnants of that past technology.
CyberPower has a sister company called XtremeGear and for nearly a year now they have been starting to get into some of the component business – keyboard, mouse, and coolers. Today we look at the Xtreme Cooler HP-1216 that offers comparable performance to some of the other big name coolers on the market. It has 5 direct touch heatpipes and the ability to do a push and pull fan set up, so it might be able to keep up against other brands!
We tested Coolink Corator DS, a "sandwich" cooler with four heatpipes, two heatsinks and a 120-mm fan between them. Check it out!
