New companies are few and far between these days. When we tend to see a "new company" in a particular market it tends to be an existing company expanding its portfolio, like when EVGA moved into the CPU cooler market.
However, we've started working with a company who genuinely are new to the scene. Reeven are an Asian based cooling company who make CPU coolers, fan controllers and fans. Until recently we had never heard of them and currently find their products are very hard to buy as very few western retailers actually stock them. After finding Reeven products listed on the Scythe Japan website, I believe that Reeven are in some way affiliated to Scythe - but I am not quite sure how.

Today we are going to take a look at one of Arctic’s fans, the F12 Pro PWM. This is a 120mm model which is designed to be ultra quiet. It has a number of interesting features including a unique two-part rubber damped enclosure and PWM fan speed control.

The Silverstone Heligon HE02 is being sold as a passive heatsink for sub-95W TDP processors, so today on Frostytech we'll put this big, boxy, silent heatsink through its passive paces. No fans will be used in the testing, just good old noise-less convection cooling. We should note that wire fan clips are supplied for users who wish to add two 120mm fans. Silverstone's Heligon HE02 heatsink is made from a pretty common mix of nickel plated aluminum fins soldered to six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes. The heatpipes are capped off by a chunky nickel plated copper base plate. Noise wise, this is a completely silent passively cooled heatsink, which means you'd better have a case with lots of air vents.

Renowned for enthusiast-grade graphics cards that push the boundaries of performance, Sapphire is on the hunt for success with the company’s first ever CPU cooler – the Vapor-X. Utilising vapour chamber technology, can Sapphire replicate the success of the critically-acclaimed Vapor-X coolers used on their graphics cards?

Nicht immer finden AMD und NVIDIA mit ihren Referenzkühlungen den Kompromiss zwischen Lautstärke und ausreichender Kühlleistung für ihre Karten. Die Retail-Karten der verschiedenen Hersteller bieten zwar meist eine deutlich bessere Kühleffizienz, davon lassen sicher aber nicht alle Nutzer überzeugen und setzen immer häufiger auf Kühler zur Selbstmontage. Heute wollen wir uns dem MK-26 von Prolimatech widmen. Auf verschiedenste Modelle von AMD und NVIDIA ausgelegt soll er laut Hersteller ein echter Allrounder sein, der sowohl niedrige Temperaturen wie auch eine möglichst geringe Lautstärke bietet. Dabei macht der Hersteller bei den verwendeten Lüftern keinerlei Vorgaben und überlässt die Wahl an dieser Stelle dem Nutzer.

Today were taking a look at the Hoplite ST chassis from Enermax. We managed to get hold of the white edition of the chassis for the review and priced at around £70 it's set nicely between the mid budget and premium build chassis in terms of cost. So I'm expecting a decent level of build quality, features and performance from this chassis as £70 is still a lot of money.

Zalman's CNPS9900DF heatsink is a twin tower cooler that stands 154mm tall and is built around three 6mm diameter composite wick copper heatpipes. For a look inside a composite wick heatpipe, check this out. The CNPS9900DF comes with two fans, a 120mm intake fan that runs at a fixed speed of 1000RPM and a center, 135mm PWM fan than operates at 1400-900RPM. The center 135mm PWM fan operates at 1400RPM to 900RPM, thus even at its slowest speed airflow is pretty well balanced between the intake (front) fan and exhaust (center) fan. The open frames allow additional air mass to be drawn in from the sides as necessary.

One of my favorite things in life is discovering new, great, and fascinating things. As a techie, this desire is fulfilled quite often. Today I would like to introduce you to both a new product and a new company, so without further ado here is the Reeven Kelveros RC-1202. It is a single tower air cooler from this new upstart out of Taiwan. The Kelveros RC-1202 is an combatively styled, moderately sized air cooler, suited to the mid to lower upper level overclocker. If you’re as curious as I was to find out how it would perform following along as I put it through it’s paces.
