Today we are looking at the Corator DS from Coolink, a company perhaps not recognised by many enthusiast users. They are the retail arm of Rascom who are involved with Noctua, one of KitGuru’s favourite cooling companies. The heatsink we are reviewing is a dual tower design that utilises Gapless Direct Touch technology with four large 8mm heat pipes transfering heat to aluminum fins. Today we are going to compare it against the similarly priced Thermaltake Frio and the top of the line cooler from Noctua, the NH D14 ‘Austrian Sandwich’.
We tested Coolink Corator DS, a "sandwich" cooler with four heatpipes, two heatsinks and a 120-mm fan between them. Check it out!
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.
Mit dem Corator DS präsentiert Coolink einen interessanten Doppel-Turm-Prozessorkühler in einem ambitionierten Gesamtpaket. Mit asymmetrischer Lamellenanordnung, 8-mm-Heatpipeausstattung und direkter CPU-Auflage sollen beste Leistungswerte erzielt werden. Ein leiser PWM-Lüfter der eigenen SWiF2-Serie und hochwertige Wärmeleitpaste runden das Paket, das sich im ComputerBase-Test beweisen muss, ab.
Today we look at Coolink’s newest CPU cooler the Corator DS featuring Coolinks new Gapless Direct Touch (GDT) technology. Four large 8mm heatpipes, a dual fin stack design and a PWM controlled SWiF2 120mm fan are among the features that enable the Corator DS to achieve an optimal balance between outstanding cooling performance and quiet operation. Read on to see how it performs on our Intel Core i7 test system against nearly two dozen other coolers!
The 1040 gram heatsink on the test bench today is the Coolink Corator DS, a dual tower single fan thermal solution designed for use on Intel socket 775/1156/1366 and AMD socket AM2/AM3 processors. A single 800-1700RPM 120mm PWM fan is supplied with the heatsink, nestled snugly between two 46mm wide aluminum fin towers of 30, and 40 fins, respectively.
A new method being pioneered by Coolink is a heatsink base that removes the gaps typical of core contact cooler designs. In doing so they can provide the benefits of a core contact design with a completely smooth surface between the CPU and the heatsink.
Today I’ll be reviewing Coolink’s CoratorDS – a CPU cooler which works with all of the latest Intel and AMD CPUs. Priced at around 40 - 50, it is in direct competition with some pretty good coolers. This will be a tough fight for Coolink’s cooler.
Here at KitGuru we understand that many of our readers won’t be running the latest and greatest tech in their system yet will still be interested in squeezing every ounce of performance out of their components. So we shall be looking at how we can improve a low-end graphics card with an aftermarket cooler.
Graphics card cooling has become almost as important as CPU Cooling, if not more so and with many products to choose from; it’s difficult to know which one to go for. The GPU cooler up for review today is the Coolink GFXChilla and the low profile design promises high performance cooling with low noise outputs. Let’s see how it performs.
