When I read the name HAVIK, I find myself having a difficult time trusting it to keep my CPU cool. I mean, with a name like along those lines, you would think it is going to wreak havoc up your CPU. Fortunately, the NZXT HAVIK 140 proved to be a fairly respectable cooler, but the real question we are about to find out is if the younger brother, the HAVIK 120, is able to fill its brother's shoes -- even though it only has 120mm fans. Of course, it is always foolish to base a product's quality just because of the name, but at first glance, you can see it is not very different. Just an analogy in real life -- if you look at two brothers, you would probably be saying the same thing, haha. Now, I'm not trying to be sexist, so I guess you could call them sisters if you really want to go all feminist on me. However, for the sake of this review and simply because I am male, these are brothers in arms ready to help you wreak havoc upon your enemies in games. Now I don't know about you, but if you happen to be in my situation, that particular game would be League of Legend -- a game that seems to have been taking up more of my spare time than I would like to admit, but rest be assured, it helped with testing. Anyways, enough chatting about games, I think it is time to let us take a look at what kind of havoc we can wreak with the NZXT HAVIK 120.
Dynatron's Genius G950 heatsink stands a modest 148mm tall and weighs 795 grams. The heatsink makes use of two independent array's of aluminum fins, positioned fore and aft of a single 120mm PWM inset fan. The fan spins by default at a speed of 1600RPM, but will run fairly effectively at 1000RPM as well. Four 6mm diameter heatpipes support the aluminum fins, which have received a simple dip along a center 64mm stretch to enhance airflow, according to the manufacturer.
The Noctua NH-L12 is a lower profile heatsink that stands 93mm tall and is a little over 130mm square. The heatsink comes with two fans; a 120mm NF-F12 PWM fan on top and a 92mm NF-B9 PWM fan tucked away beneath the fins. In a nod to being flexible, the top fan can be knocked off the NH-L12 to lower its height to 66mm for really compact computer cases if necessary. That's a far cry more compact than the typical 160mm tall tower heatsink!
be quiet! nous revient dans le segment entrée de gamme du refroidissement processeur, avec le Shadow Rock 2. Un modèle très cubique au tarif de 45€, avec pas moins de quatre heatpipes Ø8mm.
DEEPCOOL sent over the GAMMAXX S40 for us to test. Let's see what this economically friendly cooler is all about.
Today we are reviewing the Xigmatek Aegir CPU cooler, which has a tower heatsink, six U-shaped direct-touch heatpipes, and a 120 mm fan. Check it out!
Phobya are starting to become a bit of a big player these days with products spanning a wide range of categories at a variety of different market segmentations. A while back we took a look at a trio of Phobya 120mm fans and we definitely encourage you to check that review out as we were pretty darn impressed with two out of the three fans. Today we are taking a look at our first Phobya fan controller, the Phobya Touch 6 which is a six channel fan controller that features only one input which is the 4.5 inch touch screen. This fan controller is made by Sunshine Tipway Electronics (STW for short) and is based off the STW-6050. Other than the fancy looking display this is a pretty standard 5.25 inch drive bay fan controller that supports fans at 5-12 volts with up to 30W of power per channel.
Furthermore it supports voltage control of any three or four pin devices, including pumps, and it supports temperature sensors too. Though it is not as advanced as some fan controllers in the sense that you cannot have advanced temperature fan responses. The Phobya Touch 6 does supports these but only in automatic mode and the threshold is essentially a binary function of: X fan speed below Y temperature OR 100% fan speed above Y temperature. Anyway before I get dragged into too many more specifics let us move onto the rest of this review and take a closer look at Phobya’s Touch 6 fan controller.

Cooler Master claims that the TPC 812 can deliver the performance of a compact watercooler in a simple tower cooler design and, based on our benchmarking results, we can believe that.
