Back at the January Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year we brought you coverage of Thermaltake's new product releases which included a whole selection of cases, power supplies, storage options and peripherals from its sub-division TT eSports. However, there were a couple of CES 2013 product releases from Thermaltake that stood right out at me, being the cooling reviewer and all. The first of those was the Thermaltake Water 3.0 series and the second was the Thermaltake NiC Series, both CPU coolers.
Today we are looking at something from the latter series, the Non Interference Cooler (NiC) series. Specifically we have the NiC C4, which is one of four coolers for the series that includes the NiC F3, NiC F4, NiC C4 and NiC C5. The Thermaltake NiC C4 is the "second best" model from the NiC series with 220W of TDP support and it sits below the C5 (23oW) and above the F4 (180W) and F3 (160W). Featuring four 6mm heatpipes and two 120mm fans, plus as the NiC moniker suggests - total RAM compatibility with all platforms, the NiC C4 pledges to be a high end CPU cooler with full RAM support.
Thermaltake's Mobile Fan 12 seems to be a product in search of a purpose, from my perspective anyway. It's actually quite well done and functions as it should, but I just don't see the need for it, and I imagine it will wreak havoc with a laptop battery's charge.
Thermaltake has been offering a lot of new products directed towards gamers as of late with the Element series of cases and Tt e-sports products. With that in mind, I sort of think this product should have fallen into the gamers section versus its intended purpose. Thermaltake introduces the Mobile Fan 12 with the idea of adding a fair bit of cooling to laptop owners.
Today for review I’ve got something a little different from Thermaltake. The company is known for their cooling products and it’s usually about cooling your PC components and notebooks, but now they’ve introduced one that’s about cooling you. The Mobile Fan 12 is a 120mm fan with a built-in stand and fan speed controller that’s all powered by the USB port on your laptop or netbook, or even your desktop PC.
The target market for this cooler is HTPC and other small form factor designs with limited space. For its intended market the Thermaltake MeOrb would be a decent upgrade over the stock cooler both in performance and looks.
A little more than a month ago, Thermaltake sent over one of their latest notebook coolers for review, the Massive23 CS. Utilizing a rugged aluminum frame, huge 23cm fan and selectable multi-colored LED lighting, the Massive23 CS earned our Bronze Seal of Approval. While the aluminum cooler is definitely a high quality and attractive piece, it also carries a bit of a hefty price tag with it, listing at $59.99 retail. Today we take a look at the Massive23 ST, a plastic version of the CS that shares most of its features with the more expensive CS, all except for the price.
Today for review I’ve got another Thermaltake product, this one is called the Massive 23 ST, it’s a notebook cooler, and as you can gather by its name it’s big. The Massive ST features a body made of plastic and metal, making it lightweight for portability, but in the center of it is a 200mm cooling fan to make sure your laptop or netbook stays nice and cool. I’ve got the Acer Aspire one D250 and I noticed that after using it for a while it can get quite hot, so I decided to test out the Massive 23 ST with it to see if it can help keep it cool.
OCIA.net has posted their review of the Thermaltake Massive23 LX Notebook Cooler. Below is a direct quote from the review.
Surprises are nice aren’t they? The other day my door bell rang and it was UPS delivering one of the latest products from Thermaltake called the Massive23 LX. It’s a cooler for netbooks and notebooks ranging from 10” to 17” in size. This new notebook cooler has been redesigned a bit. The top is aluminum making it a large heat sink basically and it has a silent 200mm fan for extra added cooling. This new cooler has built-in handles to make it easy to take with you and a compartment for storing the USB power cable so you won’t lose it. So continue on to learn more..
When it comes to notebook coolers, most manufacturers stick to the smaller sizes of notebooks. They rarely expand their range to support notebooks larger than 15.6 inch models. Those with larger laptops are usually left out in the cold. They are forced to either stick with whatever internal cooling system their laptops have or come up with DIY solutions. Thermaltake sees the market for full-size notebook coolers. The Massive23 LX targets this market.
