Technic3D hat den EKL Alpenföhn Brocken 2 CPU-Kühler im Test. Ob Alpenföhn mit dem Brocken 2 wieder Höhenluft schnuppern kann, steht im folgenden Artikel.
Alpenfohn may be a brand more associated with their high performance products but today we are examining their Alpenfohn Sella CPU cooler, this is Alpenfohn’s attempt at making a much more budget friendly CPU cooler option. The Alpenfohn Sella is a 92/90mm fan based CPU cooler, similar to products like the SilverStone AR02 and the Cooler Master Hyper TX3. With three 6mm heat pipes, a 900 to 2200 RPM 92mm fan and a pretty thick heatsink – the Alpenfohn Sella promises punchy performance without a premium price point coming in at the sub-£20 region.
With the Alpenfohn Sella we have compatibility with the main sockets on the market such LGA 115X (0/5/6), LGA 775, AM2(+) and AM3(+). There is no official support for FM1 or FM2 (but FM1/2 are AM3(+) inter-compatible) APUs as far as I am aware and LGA 2011 and LGA 1366 are not supported. Though you can buy an LGA 2011 specific version (which they do make). Despite this the Alpenfohn Sella covers the main bases, that is socket LGA 115X and AM3(+)/FM(1/2) so most users will find this suits their platform. Without any further ado let us now proceed through the review and see what this budget CPU cooler from Alpenfohn can offer us.
Alpenfohn are still a bit of an obscure brand name these days in English speaking countries but they are definitely up and coming thanks to hugely successful products like the “K2 Mount Doom”. Their name is much more prevalent across mainland Europe as Alpenfohn originate from Germany. Yet in the UK we are seeing them pop up more and more with Overclockers UK and CaseKing working really hard to spread their products. Alpenfohn are dark horses in the cooling market producing some really high quality “German-engineered” products at a very affordable price point.
Today we are looking at their Matterhorn Pure CPU cooler which is a rather large tower heatsink cooler ventilated by a 120mm fan yet packs a very modest £30 price point. The specifications are pretty impressive too and I haven’t really seen six 6mm heat pipes on such a low cost unit before so it will be interesting to see whether this bodes any advantage for our test system. Though what tends to happen on LGA 1155 is because the CPU die is so small that only 4-5 heat pipes can actually make contact with the IHS and move heat, so having six versus four heat pipes is only a really big advantage for LGA 2011.
Overall performance was better than we had expected on a stock running Sandy Bridge. During this test the heatsink performed great with very little fan noise.
The Corsair H100i is among the best close-looped water coolers on the market, but its integration with Link software, unique visual style and inclusion of two high performance SP120L fans makes it a step above most of the Asetek clones on the market. The price of the H110i is also right on with the performance and the build quality is top notch. Just make sure you don’t use the fans at their highest setting because they are too loud when above 2000RPM.
In my opinion Scythe are one of the top brands for air cooling, yet they are one of the most unsung brands in the entire industry because they don't have the aggressive and well funded marketing departments that other companies do. Furthermore, they primarily focus on the Asian market having a huge presence in Japan. Though their presence in Europe is still pretty big. For those who don't remember last year Scythe USA was actually shut down due to financial troubles and are still in the process of making a comeback while Scythe Japan and Europe are holding up warranties for Scythe USA products.
We've only reviewed a few Scythe products in our time including the Scythe Mugen 3 which is one of my personal favourite CPU coolers of all time in terms of bang for buck. That said the Scythe's Ashura has a lot to live up to for me. So without any further ado let us proceed through this review and find out how good the brand new Scythe Ashura is.
Technic3D hat die Noctua NF-S12A und NF-A14/15 Lüfter im Test. Die Lüftermodelle sollen im Betrieb mit einer geringen Lautstärke überzeugen, ohne Leistungsverlust. Auf dem Teststand werden die Lüfter dementsprechend ausführlich überprüft. Wie die Noctua Lüfter dabei abschneiden, steht im folgenden Review.
Se lancer dans le refroidissement est un choix audacieux, tant les radiateurs sont désormais nombreux. Raijintek, nouvelle marque, a un argument de poids : le tarif. Il faut dire que 40€ le radiateur avec six heatpipes et un ventilateur slim de 140mm, ça fait réfléchir...
Is Antec's latest entry into the quiet fan market a hit in performance? We have the results.
Raijintek reiht sich als neues Unternehmen in den hiesigen IT-Markt ein. Unter der Leitung von Tony Sahin (ehemals Xigmatek) werden zukünftig in Deutschland nicht nur Kühler, sondern beispielsweise auch Gehäuse und Netzteile entwickelt und in Taiwan gefertigt. Zum Launch der Marke präsentiert der Hersteller zunächst einen CPU-Kühler, der den Namen "Ereboss" trägt. Dieser soll als absoluter Preis-Leistungs-Knaller einschlagen. Beim Design hat sich Raijintek von einem alten Bekannten inspirieren lassen.
