VGA coolers are in my opinion becoming quite niche and almost extinct - particularly when it comes to air VGA coolers. This is because graphics card vendors have come a long way in terms of the cooling solutions they offer - ASUS' DC2, MSI's TF2 and EVGA's ACX to name but a few excellent cooling solutions. As a result it seems almost foolish to spend lots of money, time, effort and voiding your warranty to equip a custom VGA cooler. In terms of water blocks for graphics cards, these are still widespread because water cooling needs water blocks.
However, even with that quite gloomy stance on VGA coolers, air VGA coolers still have their place in the market. For example you may have bought a reference design graphics card and you just aren't happy with the temperatures or acoustics - or you may have bought at custom cooled one that doesn't cool the VRM and VRAM well enough or is just too big or long. This is where custom reference solutions like the Prolimatech MK-26 come in to play.
Prolimatech's MK-26 is one of the most impressive VGA coolers I have ever laid eyes on to date just on the basis of sheer size. It supports two 140 or 120mm fans, has six 6mm heat pipes and an extremely large and dense heatsink stack. I'm expecting great things from the Prolimatech MK-26.
When reviewing silent cooling solutions we are often forced to recognize that silent cooling doesn't always translate into good overclocking performance yet, there are a few notable exceptions like self contained watercoolers and the Noctua NH-U14S.
Signori e Signore oggi abbiamo il piacere di presentarvi una recensione molto speciale, in anteprima Italiana; il prodotto che verrà analizzato è di uno dei marchi più conosciuti nel settore delle soluzioni per il controllo delle ventole, e dei sistemi a liquido. Di cosa stiamo parlando? Della naturale evoluzione di uno dei prodotti più venduti e conosciuti tra i fan controller, ma soprattutto più affidabili e potenti. Beh, le presentazioni sono d’obbligo, ma il titolo ha già svelato tutto: il fan controller FC5V3 Lamptron! E’ con particolare orgoglio che ve lo presentiamo e quindi sarà necessario analizzarlo a fondo, sviscerarlo, smontarlo e sondare le sue reali capacità sul terreno di prova. A tal fine inauguriamo la nuova procedura di test per i fan controller, che permetterà anche l’analisi del carico in W sul singolo canale, che quindi ci permetterà di verificare direttamente il funzionamento del fan controller secondo quanto dichiarato dal produttore. V’invitiamo a leggere la procedura di test nel capitolo dedicato, ora procediamo alla descrizione delle caratteristiche tecniche, del bundle e poi ovviamente del prodotto. Ci sarà ovviamente anche qualche piccola sorpresina e comparativa straordinaria, oltre ad un paragrafo dedicato al contest in atto per vincere dei sample del fan controller Lamptron CW611 con logo personalizzato XtremeHardware. Ci sarà ovviamente anche qualche piccola sorpresina e vi notifichiamo anche la presenza di un contest in cui potete vincere dei sample del fan controller Lamptron CW611 con logo personalizzato XtremeHardware. Ce ne sono solamente 10 al mondo quindi controllate questa sezione: Concorsi. Buona lettura!
Lamptron fait son retour à la Ferme avec une nouvelle révision du FC5, qui passe maintenant en FC5V3. Les nouveautés sont nombreuses, très nombreuses, et le résultat est juste parfait. Ou presque.
All In One liquid CPU coolers are becoming increasingly common in the CPU cooler market, yet we haven't really seen them arrive in the VGA cooler market to date. Arctic were the first company that I know of to start this trend off. Shortly after Arctic released their first AIO liquid cooled VGA cooler, the same principle was used by ASUS in their ARES II graphics card. The Arctic Accelero Hybrid 7970 VGA Cooler we are looking at today is only intended for a single GPU graphics card. This cooler can best be described as a Corsair H55 for graphics cards as it features an Asetek OEM pump design and a single thickness 120mm radiator with a 120mm fan. In addition it comes with a plastic shroud that has a smaller 80mm frameless fan to cool the VRM area.
Arctic are one of the biggest players in the VGA cooling game as most companies have stopped producing VGA coolers because graphics card vendors are gradually producing better and better in-house VGA coolers that make third party solutions almost extinct. If you have paid attention to the graphics card market recently you will have seen the likes of Inno3D offer this graphics card cooler pre-fitted to some of their products. That said, Arctic seem to be doing well whilst other companies are discontinuing their VGA cooler product lines.
Bigbruin.com has covered quite a few Noctua coolers over the years, and they have always impressed. In this review we're going to do something a little bit different and take a look at a half dozen of Noctua's larger diameter cooling fans. The fans have always been an impressive feature of their coolers, and this time they get to take center stage.
The Noctua NH-U14S CPU Air Cooler one of the best CPU coolers on the market. It has a copper baseplate, many copper heatpipes, lots aluminum fins and one large fan, but another can be added. Also, it's well constructed, they include full tube of thermal compound, low noise adapter & comes with a 6 year warranty.
The Cooler Master Seidon 240M is a liquid cooling system for processors. It has a 240 mm radiator with two 120 mm fans side-by-side. Let's test it.
The Noctua NH-U12S CPU Air Cooler is one of the better smaller CPU coolers around. It has a copper baseplate, many copper heatpipes, lots aluminum fins and one large fan, but another can be added. Also, it's well constructed, they include full tube of thermal compound, low noise adapter & comes with a 6 year warranty.
Today we are taking a look at a CPU cooler that is very different to the types of CPU coolers we normally look at. We are examining the Gelid Slim Silence A-Plus. This is an ultra compact CPU cooler designed for AMD sockets AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2 that has been designed specifically for small form factor uses. The Slim Silence A Plus comes in at just 28mm high meaning it is perfect for 1U servers where the maximum total height per shelf is 44.45 mm which also includes the motherboard and RAM. It is difficult for us to test this up against many competitors because we know of very few - even the Noctua NH-L9a at 38mm high is too high for a 1U server. Despite this we will still be comparing this against the AMD reference stock cooler that is roughly 60mm high to get a grasp on what kind of performance the Gelid Slim Silence A-Plus offers.
