KitGuru has looked at a number of Arctic Cooling’s products over the past weeks and they’ve all been impressive, winning some of our most sought after awards. One of these products was the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro (Rev.2) which proved to be a great upgrade from the Intel Stock Cooler and provided great performance for the price.
The Nitrogon series gets a new cooling solution. Let me introduce the evolution of the NT06E, with our review of the new NT06-PRO.
On the original, the idea was to use optional mounting to be able to add a second 120mm fan. This fans sole purpose was to cool whatever was under it, as the fins of the cooler weren't under the additional fan. This time around the idea is similar, but the way the same idea gets carried out is completely different. This time around there are fins under the fan, and the cooler still keeps RAM or motherboard component cooling in mind. The basic idea here was to still offer both under one roof, or cooler as this may be, and not need the additional fan.
Alpenfohn are still a bit of an obscure brand name these days in English speaking countries but they are definitely up and coming thanks to hugely successful products like the “K2 Mount Doom”. Their name is much more prevalent across mainland Europe as Alpenfohn originate from Germany. Yet in the UK we are seeing them pop up more and more with Overclockers UK and CaseKing working really hard to spread their products. Alpenfohn are dark horses in the cooling market producing some really high quality “German-engineered” products at a very affordable price point.
Today we are looking at their Matterhorn Pure CPU cooler which is a rather large tower heatsink cooler ventilated by a 120mm fan yet packs a very modest £30 price point. The specifications are pretty impressive too and I haven’t really seen six 6mm heat pipes on such a low cost unit before so it will be interesting to see whether this bodes any advantage for our test system. Though what tends to happen on LGA 1155 is because the CPU die is so small that only 4-5 heat pipes can actually make contact with the IHS and move heat, so having six versus four heat pipes is only a really big advantage for LGA 2011.
I once heard a very intriguing quote that went something like, "A wise old owl sat on an oak. The more he saw, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why aren't we like the wise old bird?" Let's pull up some of our good old high school English Language Arts skills, and answer the following question: What does an owl symbolize in this day and age? In fact, what does owls have anything to do with technology in the first place? Well, let's go over a little history lesson. In Greek culture, there is a little owl that represents the Greek goddess Athena. Unlike most gods and goddesses, she represents wisdom, science, and strategy; and goes by savvy considerations rather than brute force to endure quests and adventures. In society today, the accepted norm in which an owl symbolizes is intelligence and prudence with their distinct skills of observation in the dark. Are you catching on now? So, let me ask you again, what does owls have anything to do with technology? The first thing that comes to my mind is owls have nocturnal vision, and the word very much sounds like the company Noctua. From our brief history with Noctua, they are famous for noise optimized heatsinks and fans. As we have seen before from our reviews on products such as the Noctua NH-D14 and Noctua NH-U12P, both are heatsinks which are proven to be great competitors in the computer market. To add onto the list, what we have here today is Noctua's NH-C14 heatsink. So is this how Noctua pull it off? Is Noctua that wise old owl sitting in the oak? Keep your nocturnal eyes busy to find out!
That's right, the Noctua NH-D15 has hit the labs for testing. Let's see if Noctua can claim the top of the heap like its predecessor did in our results."
Technic3D hat den Spire Rotor DT-HP Kühler im Test. Ob der günstige Low-Profile Kühler mit 90mm PWM-Lüfter in der Praxis überzeugen kann, steht im folgenden Artikel.
Oggi vi presentiamo la recensione di diversi nuovi prodotti Enermax: il dissipatore ETS-T40-W White Cluster, la ventola Cluster Advance e la ventola Everest Advance. Questi ultimi due modelli verranno testati a livello termico sul dissipatore. Il dissipatore fa parte della categoria a singola torre e presenta delle caratteristiche certamente interessanti rispetto a modelli della concorrenza, tra cui ovviamente la verniciatura interamente in bianco, una base HDT (Heatpipes Direct Touch, a contatto diretto) e la presenza di una ventola molto valida, a tre velocità. E‘ dedicato a tutti coloro che desiderano ottenere performance di buon livello, una poliedricità in esercizio (grazie alle sue ventole da 800-2200RPM), ponendo per ò un deciso occhio di riguardo all’estetica complessiva. Si caratterizza per un ingombro relativamente ridotto ed il prezzo di acquisto non è eccessivo. Buona lettura !
Today we are testing the Thermalright Macho, an enormous CPU cooler with six heatpipes and one 140 mm fan. Check it out!
