Evercool has brought forward the Transformer 4 PLUS as a performance CPU cooler. Sporting four heat pipes and dual 120mm PWM fans, this cooler is made to do its job properly, and show the competition one up simultaneously. While the tests did not properly convey the heat sink’s effectiveness, it is suffice to say that I would expect the Transformer 4 PLUS to be capable to out-perform the majority of mid-performance heat sinks.

The Scythe Kozuti SCKZT-1000 is a really compact low profile heatsink that conforms to the 1.5U standard and measures just 40mm from tip to toe! That's not a lot of space in which to cram a heatsink capable of handling 150W heat loads... but Scythe manage it with average thermal results - impressive for such a low profile heatsink really.

After reviewing the great performing Alpenföhn Peter VGA cooler I was heavily enthusiastic when they offered me to review their brand high end air cooler : the K2. For those that wonder where the name K2 comes from : the Mount K2 is the 2nd highest mountain in the world, right at the border of Pakistan and China. While the Mount Everest is still the highest one, mountain climbers categorize the K2 as the most difficult to conquer. This particular mountain is also known as Killer Mountain or Mount Doom. Think you get the idea, as not many reach the top. Back to the CPU cooler, before you are getting the idea you are browsing some Wikipedia-alike site. The Alpenföhn K2 is a dual tower design boosting 8 big diameter heatpipes, not sounding quite innovative as competitive products from Noctua and Thermalright have similar coolers in their lineup. But maybe the sleek design lines and the thermal performance can satisfy your cooling requirements. Let's open up the package...

NZXT hat mit dem Havik 140 bereits gezeigt, dass sie neben guten Gehäusen auch gute Kühler bauen können. Der Havik 120 ist dem großen Bruder sehr ähnlich, bietet aber von vielen Sachen etwas weniger. So kommen nur noch 120-mm-Lüfter zum Einsatz und auch die Anzahl der Heatpipes hat sich von sechs auf vier verringert, dafür fallen die Wärmeleitrohre aber nun dicker aus. Dass sich die Unterschiede sich beim Preis bemerkbar machen, ist dann nur die logische Konsequenz. Ob sich die technischen Unterschiede aber auch auf die Leistung auswirken, und wenn ja wie große diese Unterschiede ausfallen, dass wollen wir auf den folgenden Seiten klären.

Today I will be reviewing the Arctic Accelero XTREME Plus II. This is a Graphics Card heatsink-cooler designed to cool even the hottest of cards – including my own Inno3D GTX580 OC, whilst remaining reasonably quiet.

If you are looking to extract the most performance out of any given processor you need it to stay cool. It doesn't matter if you go with Air, Water, or even Phase Change you still need some thermal interface compound between the cooler and the CPU. Maingear has been using the mother of all TIM's in their custom builds and now they are making available for everyone. Is this really the best TIM money can buy? Legit installs it into one of our high end water cooled rigs to find out.

Even though we try to concentrate on enthusiast level cooling solutions we are often called on to look at more mainstream heatsinks to see just how good they really are. In the case of the SilenX EFZ-120HA5 we are pleasantly surprised to see some good C/W numbers from a heatsink that would normally get overlooked by the community.

Recently Noctua expanded their product line further with the introduction of the NH-L12 which is designed for use in HTPC environments where space is at a premium. Today we have the NH-L12 on our test bench to find out if this dual fan, low profile cooler lives up to Noctuas high standard.
