Aiming to stamp its authority in another segment of the CPU cooling market, Phanteks has released a mid-range model in the PH-TC12DX. Does the dual fan PH-TC12DX have what it takes to shine in an overly-cramped market?
Phanteks is a relatively new player to the thermal solutions game. Founded in 2007 by a group of engineers paired with a Dutch design team, Phanteks has two goals in mind “high-end quality and innovative products in thermal solutions.” Despite being a young company, Phanteks has already had much success in the overclocking and high-end thermal solutions markets. They continuously pursue excellence in thermal solutions so that they can develop and bring satisfaction to the enthusiasts and computer users everywhere.
The cooling fan is an integral part of any computer system, and not all are created equal. I personally prefer a quiet yet cool system and finding that balance is hard to do, thankfully Noctua makes it a bit easier with their award winning fan designs. The latest fan I have for review from Noctua is the NF-A14 ULN where ULN stand for Ultra Low Noise. This fan, at stock, runs at only 800 RPM but yet still manages to move quite a bit of air around your case but remaining virtually silent. If 800 RPM isn’t quiet enough for you, then you can use the supplied Low Noise Adapter and slow the fan down even further to only 650 RPM and yet still move almost the same amount of air. So read on to learn more about the fan and see some test results…
Anfang des Jahres haben wir bereits einen Artikel zu HTPC-tauglichen Kühlern veröffentlicht. Dort wurden bereits ein paar Fragen nach weitergehenden Tests mit den Kühlern gestellt, weshalb wir für den heutigen Test die Methodik etwas angepasst haben. Zu den bekannten Modellen von Thermalright & Co. gesellt sich der Scythe Kozuti hinzu. Mit 40 mm Bauhöhe ist der Winzling prädestiniert für den Einsatz auf engstem Raum. Geringe Größe ist oftmals kein Garant für hohe Kühlleistung. Was der Kozuti zu leisten im Stande ist und wo die Grenzen liegen, haben wir uns genauer ansehen.
A few years ago a friend of mine brought his computer over to my house, needed some work and parts and when he turned it on it sounded like a small airplane taking off. You could hear this thing on the second floor of my house, that’s how loud it was. That was ridiculous in my opinion, you don’t need noisy and loud fans to have a cool system. Personally I must have a quiet system, but I don’t sacrifice performance for low noise levels. Noctua is one of the top companies when it comes to keeping your computer cool, they’re always innovating and improving on their designs and they’ve sent me over their latest 120mm cooling fan for review, the NF-S12A PWM. This fan is 120mm in size and has a maximum speed of 1200rpm, but you can use the included adapter to lower the speed to only 900rpm. I’ve put the NF-S12A up against another Noctua fan that runs much faster at 1500rpm, and I was surprised by the results and I think you might be too. Read on to learn more…
In 2009, the NF-S12B series was announced as the 2nd generation of NF-S12 series. As expected, it was better than 1st generation NF-S12 and silent PC enthusiasts were crazy about it. 1st and 2nd generations of Noctua NF-S12 have received a stunning 250 awards for all these years.
Technic3D hat den be quiet! Dark Rock 2 CPU-Kühler im Test. Der Dark Rock 2 Kühler ist der kleine Bruder der "Pro"-Variante und möchte weiterhin nicht nur im Preis, sondern auch in der Leistung überzeugen. Ob dies gelingt steht im folgenden Review.
Zalman released a fanless CPU cooler: the FX100. It has a cube heatsink with 10 heatpipes, and can also be mounted with one 92 mm fan. Let’s test it!
Gegen Ende des letzten Jahres stellte Noctua mit dem NH-L9 einen neuen Low-Profile-Kühler vor. Mit den extrem kompakten Abmaßen und der damit einhergehenden, geringen Bauhöhe von lediglich 37 Millimetern, unterbietet der neuste Spross der Kühlerschmiede sogar den Intel-Boxed-Kühler deutlich. Damit offerieren die Österreicher eine platzsparende Alternative für HTPCs. Doch neben dem NH-L9 kann Noctua mit weiteren Top-Flow-Radiatoren aufwarten, die sich in allen Belangen deutlich unterscheiden Zu diesem Anlass nehmen wir nicht nur den Neuling selbst, sondern zwei weitere Top-Flow-Kühler der österreichischen Edelschmiede unter die Lupe.
