The XtremeGear HP-1216B heatsink utilizes a dimpled surface texture on its raw aluminum fins as well, and quite amazingly retails for $29! Standing 153mm tall, the HP-1216B heatsink is equipped with a single no-name 120mm fan that rotates at 2000-1000RPM and is illuminated by four blue LEDs. At full speed it's moderately audible, and at the slowest speed you'll get good performance a nearly silent levels.
The Zalman CNPS10X Flex heatsink ships without any fans, so users can install one or two 120mm fans of their own choosing. In all other respects the CNPS10X Flex is identical to Zalman's CNPS10X Quiet heatsink, so today's review is not going to be a huge departure from what we saw from the Quiet
Generally I'm a big fan of international products. My favorite band is from Finland, my favorite television personality is from Scotland, and my favorite actor is from England. It seems that things made in the USA these days don't really last as long as they used to. Of course, if Toyota keeps things up the way they have been, no one will buy import again. But when it comes to air movement, Noctua has more than set the standard for why we should buy from overseas.
I was impressed with the Gladiator Max's performance. While not being the #1 victor, it wasn't far behind, and was without a doubt standing far above any of those it defeated. The performance could still be increased by using a high performance thermal paste, so that is definitely something to keep in mind if you're looking to squeeze a little more juice out of it.
Mit dem Yasya präsentiert Traditionshersteller Scythe sein neuestes Aushängeschild im Tower-CPU-Kühlersegment. Mit ungewöhnlichem Lamellendesign und flexiblem, hochwertigem PWM-Serienlüfter will der Japaner sowohl im Silent- als auch im Performancebereich glänzen. Ob der Yasya das Zeug dazu hat, in die erfolgreichen Fußstapfen des Mugen 2 zu treten, will die ComputerBase im Bericht klären.
Thermaltake's SpinQ VT heatsink stands 162mm tall and is made from nickel plated aluminum fins soldered over six copper heatpipes, which are really three heatpipes doubled over into a U-shape. Each aluminum fin has a shape that resembles a chain sprocket from a bicycle, but each of the ~50 fins is sequentially rotated 6mm before being threaded over the copper heatpipes. This creates the eleven-sided shape that resembles a drill bit on steroids.
In this review Frostytech is testing Scythe's Grand Kama Cross heatsink, the supped-up successor to the Kama Cross. This time around Scythe have sized it up by selecting a 140mm PWM fan that spins at 500-1300RPM, instead of the standard 120mm size. The Grand Kama Cross is a quiet all-around heatsink, at most producing 45.9 dBA noise and at best a nearly inaudible 29.8 dBA in our real-world tests.
As a single functioned object, the humble case fan has to achieve a fine balance between airflow and noise emissions. The perfect ratio is not only difficult to reach but also varies with the specific user group: silent enthusiasts will require lower fan speeds so less noise is produced whereas the hardcore gamer will want as much cooling potential as possible.
Coolermaster produce a lot of different products, from massively high end cases to low end budget coolers; and that's what we're looking at today. A little fella' called the Coolermaster Hyper 101. The name looks to fit well, but does it perform when under pressure? That's what we're here to find out.
Even though the HP-1216B is lacking a lapped base, capped heatpipes, nickel plating and has been equipped with a slightly noisy fan the HP-1216B has been one of best performing heatsinks that have come across my test bench in a long time. One could say that this is a no frills cooler, and I'd agree, but with the outstanding performance for less than thirty dollars is absolutely amazing. XtremeGear has a huge winner on their hands with this cooler.
