Airflow is driven by a single 120mm PWM fan whose snow white 7-bladed impeller rotates at your basic 2200RPM to 800RPM. Noise output is moderate. Because computer enthusiasts tend to be picky bunch, Evercool have tossed in one extra set of wire fan clips.
Das in der Schweiz ansässige Unternehmen Arctic Cooling, ist mittlerweile das Synonym für preiswerte und gleichzeitig leistungsstarke Produkte im Computerbereich. Vor kurzem hatten wir das Flaggschiff aus der Accelero Xtreme-Serie im Test. Heute steht der Accelero L2 Pro auf dem Teststand, der durch eine gute Leistung und einem sehr günstigen Preis überzeugen soll.
Erst vor kurzen hatten wir die neuen NF-A14 und NF-A15 Lüfter von Noctua im Test, heute wollen wir die neusten NF-S12A Lüfter von Noctua vorstellen. In den Versionen PWM, FLX und ULN stellte Noctua uns je einen 120mm Lüfter zur Verfügung. Wir haben diese in unseren Testparcours ausführlich getestet und wie immer mit den bereits getesteten Lüftern verglichen. Wie die Lüfter der S12 Series in der dritten Generation abschneiden, könnt ihr hier in diesem Review erfahren.
Noctua are one of our favourite companies when it comes to high end cooling and it would be accurate to say that their NH D14 ‘Austrian Sandwich’ shattered all our preconceptions of just what can be achieved on air.
The enthusiast cooling market really is a busy place at the moment, despite reviewing coolers from Gelid, Akasa, Noctua, Spire, CoolIT and Xigmatek in the past few months there is still a large selection out there which may appeal to consumers. Today, for the second time in as many weeks, we have a selection of the newest on our test bench allowing us to see which is the most appealing in a very crowded marketplace.
Aircooling
The Silent Spirit follows an open frame structure concept whereby both design and dimensions have been improved to eliminate humming and buzzing noises while maintaining a compact overall size. The 92mm fan has been chosen for silent operation and high airflow and comes with an intelligent PWM control to allow users to set the fan speed in their BIOS accordingly. In addition the anti-vibration fan mounts are made of high quality rubber thus guaranteeing a long life span even during high temperatures.
The Hyper N520 is not a flashy and in your face heatsink, but rather a workhorse that gets the job done. Dual 92mm fans ensure good airflow without generating a lot of noise and whisking away the heat carried through the five heatpipes.
Gelid has a worthy product in the Tranquillo, especially for a relatively new company. The Tranquillo easily bests the performance of the OEM cooler while being noticeably quieter, even at full speed. The design doesn't provide any board-cooling options though, but is relatively easy to install.
Thermaltake's Mobile Fan 12 seems to be a product in search of a purpose, from my perspective anyway. It's actually quite well done and functions as it should, but I just don't see the need for it, and I imagine it will wreak havoc with a laptop battery's charge.
Xigmatek's Aegir CPU cooler does indeed bring a lot to the party. With excellent cooling performance and a robust, yet easily installed mounting solution, this cooler ranks at the top of its class. White LEDs in the fan frame add a bit of visual interest to the smoky, PWM fan and will fit nicely into many color schemes for the enthusiast thet cares about this sort of thing.
