The last time we saw something from Scythe it took an honorable 3rd place in 120mm air cooled coolers. With performance like that out of a typical sized air cooler, I was impressed. It did take some unique designing in the fins and a rather powerful fan to reach 3rd place, but in this game, you have to do what it takes to offer one of the best air coolers. With all the options for you to choose from, if you aren’t on top, you are likely to get passed right up as buyers browse the shelf in search of the “next big thing”. In steps, advice from people like myself and I may or may not turn you onto a product you may have never even thought to give a second look. Today might just be one of those days.

The Aegir CPU cooler from Xigmatek sports a heatpipe cooling system named D.L.H.D.T. (Double Layer with Heat Pipe Direct Touch) first seen in their CPU cooler dubbed "Thor's Hammer"; the new Aegir is ships with one PWM LED fan which can easily be controlled by the motherboard.

For this review I will be looking at a product from one of Xtreme Computing’s long time friends, Akasa and the product I will be looking at is one of their new CPU coolers, the NeroS. Coming from Akasa and being labelled aa a “Premier Cooler” I am expecting some good results.

In unserem kleinen Vergleich wollen wir die Auswahl etwas erleichtern und stellen euch drei Kühler vor, welche einige Gemeinsamkeiten aber auch einige Unterschiede aufweisen. Wie sich der Alpenföhn Panorama, der Scythe Ninja Mini Rev.B und der Xigmatek Durin D982 im Test schlagen, erfahrt ihr wie immer auf den folgenden Seiten.

In the past, notebook coolers have featured a few fans wrapped together in a block of plastic. While relatively effective on paper, not all designs were functional or ideal for all laptops. Today, Antec provides a solution that is aesthetic in appearance, yet simple and functional in design with the passively cooled Notebook Cooler Basic.

So let's go back to basics and start from the beginning. A computer system is nothing without sufficient cooling much like a car performs better when at an optimum temperature, whereas some develop faults with cold starts. Think of computers as the other way round, as hot temperatures can lead to catastrophic failure and a nice cool, chilled system will run flawlessly 99.99999% of the time.

While the HDT SD964W cooler from Xigmatek isn't the best performing tower cooler I've seen, it does have a niche that many enthusiasts may want to explore. It didn't perform well on the overclocked Q6600 in the test mule, but it should be more than adequate for dual and tri-core processors in the 65W range with moderate voltage increases.

Das nicht nur Noctua gute Lüfter und Kühler bauen kann, dass bewiesen schon allzu oft andere Hersteller mit ihren Kreationen. Dazu zählt das aus England stammende Urgestein Thermalright, welches schon den einen oder anderen Verkaufsschlager hervorbringen konnte. Mit dem Silver Arrow wurde bereits vor einiger Zeit das aktuelle Spitzenmodell aus dem Hause Thermalright präsentiert. Jenen selben hat der Hersteller als Sandy Bridge-E Edition, kurz „SB-E“ neu aufgelegt.

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.
