As the move towards smaller and lighter netbooks begins to gain in popularity, the dominance of older high heat-producing full size notebooks may eventually ebb over time. True, there will always be those users who want a larger screen size, or need the full performance of a high-end, multi core processor, and for as long as there are laptop computers making the tops of our thighs uncomfortably warm there will likely be coolers designed to combat it. Today I have a product for review from Thermaltake with the descriptive title of Massive23 CS, which makes use of a single, large 23cm cooling fan. How effective are laptop coolers at actually reducing operating temperatures though? Join me as I put the Massive23 CS through its paces.
Thermaltake's Massive23 CS notebook cooler is a well-executed product from a good design that does exactly what it's supposed to do. It cools your notebook computer and does it very quietly. The materials and workmanship are outstanding and the lighting effects bring some visual interest to an already sleek and stylish product.
Thermaltake tries its hand at notebook cooling and external speakers. The Massive SP is now our second entry in this market. Let's take a look.
There is no doubt Laptop is much preferred than a desktop nowadays due to its great flexibility, high performance and affordable price. However heat is still one of the annoying common problems for a notebook; not only slow down the PC performance but eventually shorten the life span of the laptop. Hence a proper cooling device is needed and today we are going to show you the latest laptop cooler from Thermaltake; Massive 23LX.
A pair of new notebook coolers arrived from Thermaltake. First we will have a look at the Massive 14 Squared, and see what it is all about.
In a world run by the tablet and Android there was one company brave enough to still make a laptop cooling pad and they even added lights.
Today we are taking a look at the Thermaltake Jing silent CPU cooler. The Jing is a dual 120mm fan tower cooler with being quiet and performing well as its goal. Join us as we stack the Jing up against a dozen other coolers on our Intel Core i7 test bench and also see how quiet the Jing is compared to the kings of quiet, Noctua.
"Thermaltake's Jing heatsink, a dual fan tower style cooler that comes in a bright shade of nuclear green. The green is supposed evoke nature and 'Jing' supposedly means 'wind' in Mandarin. The heatsinks' twin 128mm fans spin at 800-1300RPM in a push-pull orientation and create a modest amount of noise according to our real world sound measurements.

Weighing a hefty 920 grams, the Thermaltake Jing stands 161mm tall and installs onto Intel socket 775/1155/1156/1366 and AMD socket AM2/AM3+ processors.
Ching Chang Ping Pong Chan Zhou and Jing. I wonder, if you had to take a guess, would you say that those random sounds and letter combinations are of Chinese origin? Well, you have guessed right. In fact, nowadays, with a population of over 1.3 billion Chinese in China alone, estimating to over 19% of the world's population (Wikipedia for the win!), it is no wonder that such sounds have become daily Chinese stereotypes in North America. So, when I heard I was reviewing the Thermaltake Jing, I raised an eyebrow. As you know, much of the staff here at APH Networks is Chinese. With this, a sense of pride comes when a manufacturer names a product that we can relate to. When the Jing was released, my main focus was not directed towards the product name however, but it was geared towards how it would compare against its loud brother. Actually, the Chinese character "Jing" simply means silence or quiet, and so today's heatsink review on the Thermaltake Jing takes on an entirely different approach from its older brother, the Thermaltake Frio. When Jonathan, my fellow colleague, reviewed the Frio back in April of 2010, the conclusion was made that the heatsink could be so obnoxiously loud, that it unfortunately made the unit not as practical for silent PC enthusiasts and overclockers alike. This time however, Thermaltake decided to tame the little shy brother, Jing, creating a smaller but hopefully more practical unit for the mass. Can the Jing beat its older brother with Kung-fu and other fu's? Scroll down to find out!
