Silverstone’s newest low profile offering, the NT06-Pro, packs a great amount of design and engineering into a very small physical form. Designed to meet the needs of SFF/HTPC builds, the Silverstone NT06-Pro stands a mere 83mm tall including the fan, but manages to get six 6mm heatpipes running through a copper base comfortably into that space. A horizontal aluminum fin array helps to dissipate the heat, while a 20mm slim 1000~2200 rpm 120mm fan handles the air movement chores. Unlike many slim fans we have seen, the Silverstone NT06-Pro fan is capable of ramping up to produce air movement similar to full width fans, topping out at 73.96 CFM. The NT06-Pro includes a versatile mounting kit compatible with Intel 775/1155/1156/1366/2011, as well as AMD AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2, with simple solid installation on both platforms.

The Arctic F12 Pro is the latest offering from Arctic Cooling. Being touted as high performance and ultra quiet, we will be taking a closer look at the new 120mm fan.

Der Hersteller Noctua ist besonders aufgrund seiner sehr hochwertigen und leistungsstarken Lüftern und Kühlern bekannt und darf bereits heute auf eine treue Fangemeinde blicken. Mit dem brandneuen NF-P14 FLX zeigt Noctua seinen ersten 140-mm-Lüfter, der sich auch in puncto Design deutlich von den bisherigen Lüftern wie auch der Konkurrenz abhebt. In unserem Review nehmen wir den neuen 140-mm-Lüfter genauer unter die Lupe und prüfen, in welchen Bereichen er sich besonders gut einsetzen lässt.

Today we are going to bring you another existing and latest cooler from Thermaltake; Jing. Thermaltake Jing is a high end tower cooler which is equipped with five Φ6 copper heat-pipes, copper base, huge amount of aluminum fins, universal mounting compatibility, and come with dual 120mm extremely silent cooling fans. Without further delay, let us deep dive this silent monster in detail.

It can't always be about the graphics cards, the gaming mice, the motherboards and the high powered speakers, right? Well no indeed, sometimes us reviewers have to look at something a little less exciting. Ladies and gents, may I present to you the BeQuiet Silent Wings USB 12cm fan. Let's check it out. Hurray!

Fenrir, das ist in der nordischen Mythologie der Wolf, welcher letztendlich den Weltuntergang (Ragnarök) herbeiführt. Wir wollen heute jedoch nicht die Götterdämmerung herbeiführen, sondern lediglich einen weiteren CPU-Kühler testen: Den Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ von Titan. Ist der Fenrir wirklich der allesvernichtende Riesenwolf oder geht er im unübersichtlichen Rudel der aktuellen Turmkühler unter?

Swiftech has been a major name in air cooling in the past and with the Polaris 120 they are solidly throwing their hat back in the ring. The tower style cooler is a break from their Helicoid design but the performance shows they have done their homework. Five large 8mm direct contact heatpipes along with a tower that features a tunneling design delivers good performance. The design of the mounting hardware incorporates all of the major CPU sockets and limits the amount of installation hardware required.

Evercool has released a mid-range CPU heat sink that performs exactly the way they intended it to. Equipped with 3 heat pipes running through slim, attractive aluminum fins, cooled by a powerful 2200RPM 120mm fan (with room for an additional 120mm fan), the Transformer 3 nudges dangerously close to the territory of performance heat sinks. It would be very interesting to see how far the Transformer 3 could go with an additional 120mm fan.

Der Kühlerspezialist Scythe ist schon seit dem Jahr 2002 im Kühlergeschäft aktiv. Anfangs setzte das japanische Unternehmen auf passive und somit sehr leise Lösungen. Erstmals konnte Scythe im Jahr 2005 auch im Highend Bereich mit dem "Ninja" für Aufsehen sorgen, wiederum ein knappes Jahr später gelang mit dem "Infinity" aka "Mugen" der Durchbruch. Der Kühler konnte preislich sowie in Punkto Leistung absolut überzeugen und legte so den Grundstein für eine Erfolgsgeschichte die bis heute anhält. Weiterentwickelte Kühler wie der Ninja 2 bzw. Mugen 2 wurden Kassenschlager, was vor allem ihrem hervorragendem Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis zu verdanken war. In diesem kleinen RoundUp möchte ich also herausfinden ob aktuelle Modelle von Scythe es immer noch schaffen zu überzeugen oder ob sich Scythe etwas auf den wohlverdienten Lorbeeren ausruht.

The infamous beige and brown colour scheme of Noctua fans may be "make or break" for some people's buying preferences, but that hasn't stopped the Noctua NF-F12s being some of the most respected 120mm fans on the market. Surprisingly, we've yet to take a look at the Noctua NF-F12 fans here at eTeknix and today we've managed to get some in from Noctua to have a good look at. In an era when consumers are being increasingly more fussy about aesthetics, quality and noise, Noctua have managed to make a name for themselves with the NF-F12s.
We are going to walk you briefly through the Noctua NF-F12 fans and show you how their acoustic performance stacks up against some competing fans. Unfortunately we can't do any CFM-airflow tests as we lack the expensive equipment to do so, also using proxy measurements like fan performance on CPU heatsinks is a very hit-and-miss process because different heatsinks require different things - some benefit from static pressure, others from high airflow and others from a mix of both. Add to that the fact you can start playing around with single or dual fan configurations, PWM speeds or fixed speeds like 500/1000/1500RPM, different testing environments like cases or open air test benches and suddenly you've got more graphs than you can shake a stick at - let alone draw accurate conclusions from.
