Die Suche nach einem geeigneten Produkt gerät anhand der nahezu unüberschaubaren Marktsituation schon fast zur "Tour de Endlos", wenn man sich beispielsweise die aktuelle Situation im Bereich der CPU-Kühler anschaut. Da helfen nur exakte Karten und ein findiger Beifahrer, der dem Ganzen die korrekte Richtung zuweist.
Wir werden an dieser Steller versuchen, beide Positionen erschöpfend auszufüllen, zumal sich ein weiterer Hersteller auf die Bühne wagt, um im Konzert der Großen ein lautstarkes Instrument zu spielen. Die Koreaner von Thermolab fertigen seit 2003 überwiegend OEM Produkte, was auf die Dauer weder befriedigt noch nennenswertes Image aufbaut. All dies soll sich nun ändern, denn mit den aktuellen Retail Produkten hat man inzwischen Europa respektive Deutschland erreicht. Das Flaggschiff der Kühler Produktion hört auf den Namen Baram und soll für neue Verhältnisse in den Kühler Ranglisten sorgen. Ob dieser Tower-Kühler dazu imstande ist, erfahrt ihr in unserem ausführlichen Praxistest.
Aircooling
A lot has been made of the high TDP’s of Intel’s i7 range of processors, only surpassed by the 140W TDP of AMD’s Phenom II X4 965 BE, requiring more cooling especially when at overclocked settings. In terms of air cooling, many of the smaller designs just can’t cope with the heat demands of the i7’s and so the larger heatsinks with more fins, surface area and heat pipes have been left to fight it out to see which cooler performs best.

We have seen quite number of heatpipe coolers and today we will introduce you a new thermal cooling company; Thermolab. Thermolab is a Korean company and their latest CPU cooler; Baram is a tower CPU cooler with 5 heatpipes which is the most heat pipes cooler that we have ever seen so far. Let us find out more about this interesting cooler and see how it performs against other competitors.

mit dem Baram versucht der koreanische Hersteller Thermolab am hart umkämpften Retail-Kühlermarkt Fuß zu fassen. Dazu hat man einen schicken Towerhybriden mit charakteristisch-wellenförmiger Lamellenformgebung, Heatpipe-Quintett und plattformübergreifend sicherer Verschraub-Montage kreiert. ComputerBase zeigt, ob sich der Neuling im Vergleich zur starken Konkurrenz behaupten kann.

ThermoLab's Baram CPU cooler represents the company's first foray into the performance cooling arena, and they've done a good job. The fit and finish is excellent and the design is fundamentally sound. Cooling performance is also very good, until the voltage is raised anyway. Even then, it's much better than the OEM cooler but falls a bit behind most of the other coolers in the comparison.

Thermolab's Trinity heatsink stands 149mm tall with a footprint of 136x58mm. The aluminum finned heatsink weighs 735 grams and comes with one 130x130x25mm PWM fan that operates at 1800-600RPM. The fan is mounted to the heatsinks' fins with permanently attached rubber vibration absorbing posts. Four 6mm diameter sintered metal wick exposed base heatpipes form the backbone of this CPU cooler while a simple bracket system allows it to install onto Intel socket 775/1155/1156/1366 and AMD socket AM2/AM3/FM1 processors.

ThermoLab may not be the first company that springs to mind when you think of a CPU cooler but that isn't to say that they are a new company on the market. They have had a few major releases in past years including the phenomenal ThermoLab Baram which dethroned the legendary TRUE as the king of the cooling world back in 2009.

Aujourd'hui, la Ferme découvre le dernier radiateur de ThermoLab, le TRINITY. Un modèle relativement compact, malgré un ventilateur de 135mm.
Pour le reste, quatre heatpipes en Direct Touch, une bonne finition, et une boite qui affirme que le radiateur est fait pour les overclockers, avec un maximum de 200W de dissipation...

The top features the Fenrir’s own logo – what seems to be a very angry wolf, somewhat confirmed by Wikipedia as a “Fenrir” is essentially a mythical “monstrous wolf”. The tops of the 4 U-shaped heatpipes are also visible. The general feel of the Fenrir is a well put together heatsink, there do not appear to be any sharp edges which is reassuring considering the amount of cuts I have encountered whilst installing other HSFs!

Today we are testing another CPU cooler from Titan: Fenrir. It supports all available CPUs, has a tower design, four 8-mm U-shaped heatpipes and a 120-mm fan. Other coolers with similar design performed very well in our tests; will this cooler perform well too?
