Ein Kühler auf das nötigste Beschränkt, ohne beispielsweise eine schicke Nickelschicht auf seiner Oberfläche oder ein abgespecktes Montagekit dafür aber mit gleicher Leistung und deutlich günstigerem Anschaffungspreis als bei seinem großen Bruder. Geht dieses Konzept auf? Klar tut es dies, dass beweist Thermalright mit seinem Macho HR-02. Heute freue ich mich, in meinem neuesten Artikel ein solches Modell aus dem Hause Alpenföhn präsentieren zu dürfen. Es handelt sich um den bekannten Matterhorn Kühler in der Ausführung "PURE". Inwiefern sich der günstige Kühler schlägt oder ob gar die Einsparungsmaßnahmen dem Produkt mehr schaden als nutzen werde ich in den folgen Zeilen aufzeigen.

Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling solutions are world renowned in terms of their cooling performance and excellent acoustics. Until recently they have only been available for graphics cards. Today Sapphire have unveiled the Vapor-X CPU cooler, Sapphire's first ever CPU cooler, and we have one here for review on release day.

As many of you have noticed things are somewhat slow lately in everything related to PC cooling but considering most solutions we do get to see are very similar in design, size and performance this is not really surprising (nor bad really). On top of that add that we have entered the winter season and i doubt we will see anything really interesting at least for another couple of months or so (although CES is just around the corner so we may see something new announced there). Regardless of that however from time to time we do get to witness the release of unique (or dedicated as I like to call them) CPU Coolers aimed specifically at one of the various market segments (enthusiasts, overclockers, casual users, gamers, HTPC users) just like the latest NH-L9 L-Type low-profile cooler line by Noctua which is clearly aimed for HTPC use.

Technic3D hat den Xigmatek Prime - SD1484 CPU-Kühler im Test. Mit zwei 140mm Lüftern und vier 8mm Heatpipes möchte Xigmatek wieder ein Wörtchen an der Spitze mitreden. Die Ergebnisse zum Test stehen im folgenden Review.

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.
