At the heart of this 158mm tall heatsink are four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes and a 120mm, 68CFM fan. The heatpipes are all exposed at the base while the aluminum fin stack is pretty standard; there aren't any fancy leading edges, punched out cooling fin patterns or unnecessary plastic fan shrouds. The 120mm fan rotates at 1800-1300RPM and moves upwards of 68CFM through the heatsinks' 112x130mm fin stack.
SilverStone are a renowned manufacturer of computer cases and we have reviewed a lot of their cases before. However, we've never really delved into any SilverStone CPU coolers despite the fact SilverStone have been making these for a very long time and they produce some of the best CPU coolers in the industry. SilverStone are very well known for their HTPC cases, such as the Grandia series, and as a result they also make low profile CPU coolers that can be used with these cases.
Today we have the SilverStone NT06 Pro Low Profile CPU cooler with us on the test bench (Specifications can be found here). On the face of things this is a very interesting CPU cooler. You've got 6 heat pipes, a low profile heat sink design that accepts a 120mm fan both above and below, a very nice supplied 120mm fan and a flexible mounting kit supporting all major sockets.
As usual we will be giving the SilverStone NT06 Pr0 the eTeknix heat treatment so read on to see how this product from SilverStone performs.
Gehäuse kleiner Bauformen auf Basis von Mini-ITX Systemen werden immer beliebter. Keine Frage, dass solche Plattformen auch eine angepasste Kühlung benötigen. Thermalright bietet mit dem brandneuen AXP-100 ein entsprechendes Kühler-Modell an und hat sich zum Ziel gesetzt, eine möglichst hohe Kompatibilität mit guter Leistung und niedriger Geräuschkulisse zu verbinden. Wir schauen uns den neuen Kühlzwerg der taiwanesischen Edelschmiede in diesem Test genauer an.
With the increasing number of fans that most enthusiasts tend to have in their systems these days, the ability to control these becomes a vital factor in being able to stay in control of both temperatures and acoustics. Most cases now have 4 to 8 fans and most high end CPU coolers need 2 fans or mores. Even some relatively high end motherboards don't offer enough fan ports for your needs, or aren't close enough to the fans to allow you to plug fan cables in. That combined with the fact fan control software can often be buggy and problematic means the modern enthusiast system can easily become a total nightmare.
Today we are looking at a pair of 140mm fans, the Silent Wings 2 from a company that seems to be too good at their name: be quiet!. Yes that is be quiet, with an exclamation point, and if you are like me this is probably the first time you have ever heard of them. Looking at their website, they certainly have a fairly full product line. The problem seems to be that none of it is for sale outside of Germany. With claims of near silent operation, it’s time to find out if they can actually live up to their namesake.
The Zalman FX100 was first introduced in November last year, at this year's CES it was officially unveiled, and soon it will hit stores. The new CPU cooler from the Korean manufacturer can be entirely passive and is intended for Ivy Bridge processors. Is this the perfect cooler for the silent crowd?
For most people choosing a fan is often a very hit-and-miss decision. However, there is so much to consider when choosing a fan that people miss out on: price, performance, noise, looks and features. So today we are hoping to give you a detailed run down of all these criteria as we do a review of this Shark 120mm Evil Black Edition fan from Aerocool.
The Cougar Dual-X is designed to push a large amount of air while maintain silence. The Dual-X accomplishes this by using a hydraulic bearing so there is less friction. The nine blades of the fan have two layers and are rigid material. The blade design also features claws. The combination of these features allow the fan to produce more pressure while decreasing turbulence and noise levels. Other noise reducing features are rubber pads and rubber fixed pin mounts to reduce the vibrations that are transferred into the chassis. Accessories include a 3-pin to 4-pin Molex fan adapter, tool-less fixed pins, and fan screws.
Nach den Top-Blow-Kühlern der letzten Tests und einer Kompakt-Wasserkühlung hat in unserem heutigen Review ein Tower-Kühler den Weg zu uns gefunden. Der SilverStone AR01 gehört zur neuesten Kühler-Serie des Herstellers, die auf den Namen Argon hört. An dieser Stelle kommt jetzt vielleicht der eine oder andere chemisch bewanderte Nutzer ins Schmunzeln. Das Element Argon gilt als inertes, sprich reaktionsträges Gas. Das möchte man bei einem CPU-Kühler natürlich nicht vorfinden. Der Wärmetransport soll schnell und effektiv vonstattengehen. Oder lässt sich der AR01 durch Nichts aus der Ruhe bringen?
Neben dem AR01 hat uns SilverStone aber auch noch den Nitrogon NT06-PRO zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Top-Blow-Kühler orientiert sich beim Design am altbekannten NT06, der seinerzeit vor allem für den Einsatz in den hauseigenen Sugo-Gehäusen vorgesehen war. Gegenüber dem alten Modell bietet die PRO-Version mehr Heatpipes und ein überarbeiteres Kühlkonzept. Wie schon beim Scythe Kozuti oder dem Noctua NH-L12 platziert SilverStone einen Lüfter unterhalb der Kühllamellen. Ob der Kühler dadurch schwächelt?
