Noctua's NH-C14 is a huge cooler, both in physical size and performance. The build quality is excellent and the mounting solutions are very robust and easily installed. I particularly like the fan clip design and implementation. With two included fans, a feature rich accessory package including LNA and ULNA fan speed reducers, a screwdriver and an enameled metal case badge, the NH-C14 would seem to be a dream product for the enthusiast/overclockers among us.
Matterhorn, Brocken, Großglockner und Nordwand - so heißen Berge, aber auch CPU-Kühler von der Firma EKL. Der Name Alpenföhn und das Edelweiß im Firmenlogo verpflichten einfach dazu seine Kühler nach Bergen zu benennen. Wir haben uns das Matterhorn - also den Matterhorn-Kühler rausgesucht und prüfen, ob er seinem Namensvetter alle Ehre macht oder ob er doch besser Häschenhügel heißen sollte. Der Testbericht wird zeigen, was der Kühler beim Übertakten leistet und wie er sich dabei anhört.
Technic3D hat sieben Lüfter der Enermax T.B. Serie in den Größen 80-, 120- und 140-mm im Test. Die Unterschiede sind deutlich größer als zunächst angenommen. Welche das genau sind und wie sich die einzelnen Lüfter auf dem Teststand schlagen , steht im nachfolgenden Artikel.
Noctua has developed a reputation for high quality components, backed up by countless awards from reviews published around the world. Downdraft coolers have been manufactured in the past, however few have been able to stand up to the larger tower coolers. The NH-C14 shows that Noctua knows what they are doing in this field.
Evercool's original Transformer 4 CPU cooler, with its dual 120mm fans, 8mm copper heatpipes and direct touch design should have been a top performer in the CPU cooling market. It wasn't. The newer Transformer 4 PLUS, with its higher speed PWM fans performs much better and adds socket 1156 support into the mix. In fact, the cooling is quite good and even has the cooling muscle to support some moderate overclocking.
Laptops and notebooks have become increasingly popular over the last few years as the designs and power have improved. However as the designs and aesthetics have recently improved, laptops on the whole have got thinner. Not only does this cause a problem for the manufacturer to fit everything in but it also causes problems for cooling, especially when we are demanding more and more power from every generation. This has always been a problem but is becoming more apparent as we are introducing dual, triple and quad cores into laptops. This may change in the long run with Sandy bridge and Fusion but this is not going to be instantly replacing all those laptops that some of us have grown up with. In fact, it's going to be quite a while before manufacturers switch over to these new generation motherboards and processors with regards to high-powered laptops at least.
Today we are looking the newest addition to the Zalman CNPS line up, the CNPS11X. The new CNPS11X is not your typical tower cooler. With a unique color and shape, Zalman has once again added a new spin to high performance air cooling. Join us as we see how Zalman's newest twist on the traditional tower cooler fares on our Intel Core i7 test bench.
Today we take a look at one of Noctua's most recent coolers, the NH-C14, pairing it with Intel's high end i7-990X CPU to find out how high we can take the CPU on air cooling.
Prolimatech sollte jeden User ein Begriff sein, stellt doch der Hersteller von CPU-Kühlern einige der Besten Kühler am Markt bereit. Wir testen heute den Genesis in der Dual Orangeline Edition, welcher in dieser Konfiguration von Caseking angeboten wird. Beim Genesis handelt es sich um einen Towerkühler, welcher über zwei Towerelemente verfügt. Einer der beiden Tower ist dabei so angeordnet, dass er als Topflow-Kühler arbeitet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass Bauteile rund um die CPU und selbst die Speicherbänke vom Luftstrom des Kühlers mit gekühlt werden. Mit zwei 140mm Lüftern aus dem Hause Xigmatek ausgestattet, gehört der Genesis zu den leisen Vertretern seiner Art. Wie sich der Genesis bei uns im Test geschlagen hat, erfahrt Ihr im folgenden Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen.....
CPU coolers, or at least air-based coolers, have had a tendency to grow in size and in all dimensions. This is certainly no exceptions as this thing is huge and I would certainly take a gander at the weight as it is impressively over 1kg and that is just the product weight! The larger the heatsinks are in theory the more surface area you can have and as such more heat lost. Typically however, the fans are mounted on the side of the heatsink to push/pull air into the heatsink. In contrast the Corator has the fan located in the centre which means the heatsink is a lot bigger but does incorporate the fan. Whether this provides any benefit to the airflow through the system I am not so sure and hopefully our testing will prove either way.
