Yesterday I took a look at a CPU cooler from Arctic Cooling, the Alpine 11 Pro, today I've got the Accelero L2 Pro VGA cooler for review. I've installed it on my ECS Nvidia GTS250 video card and I can say it does a better job than the stock cooler and it's much quieter, but it takes up three slots because of its height so depending on your setup you might have an issue with installation.
The Zalman CNPS8900 Extreme performed very well even with a 4.0 GHz overclock on our Intel Core i5-2500K processor. It was only a few degrees shy of Corsair’s H50 liquid cooler and well outperformed the stock cooling solution from Intel. This product is listed under Zalman’s CNPS category for Case Noise Prevention System, however...
Back at the January Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this year we brought you coverage of Thermaltake's new product releases which included a whole selection of cases, power supplies, storage options and peripherals from its sub-division TT eSports. However, there were a couple of CES 2013 product releases from Thermaltake that stood right out at me, being the cooling reviewer and all. The first of those was the Thermaltake Water 3.0 series and the second was the Thermaltake NiC Series, both CPU coolers.
Today we are looking at something from the latter series, the Non Interference Cooler (NiC) series. Specifically we have the NiC C4, which is one of four coolers for the series that includes the NiC F3, NiC F4, NiC C4 and NiC C5. The Thermaltake NiC C4 is the "second best" model from the NiC series with 220W of TDP support and it sits below the C5 (23oW) and above the F4 (180W) and F3 (160W). Featuring four 6mm heatpipes and two 120mm fans, plus as the NiC moniker suggests - total RAM compatibility with all platforms, the NiC C4 pledges to be a high end CPU cooler with full RAM support.
Cooling a processor can be a real challenge when you are looking for good performance with a minimum of noise. Typically you'll have to sacrifice something along the way. High performance normally means a higher noise threshold, while quiet heatsinks usually don't cool very well.
The Thermaltake Contac 29 CPU cooler has three large 8mm copper heatpipes at its base that directly contact the CPU for highly efficient thermal conduction. This sub $40 cooler is priced right, but how does it perform? Read on to see how it performs on our Intel LGA1366 test system compared to two other CPU coolers!
Today, we have for review one of Thermaltake’s newest CPU coolers, the Thermaltake TMG IA1. TMG is Thermaltake’s “thermal maximum grade” product group, a series of computer hardware products aimed at the quiet computing audience. You can glean a little bit more information from the forgotten TMG website. In contrast to the brute-force approach of the Thermaltake BigTyp 14 Pro, which I had a chance to review a few weeks ago, the IA1 hopes to provide a more elegant and standard way to cool your CPU without a burden on your ears.
In my opinion Scythe are one of the top brands for air cooling, yet they are one of the most unsung brands in the entire industry because they don't have the aggressive and well funded marketing departments that other companies do. Furthermore, they primarily focus on the Asian market having a huge presence in Japan. Though their presence in Europe is still pretty big. For those who don't remember last year Scythe USA was actually shut down due to financial troubles and are still in the process of making a comeback while Scythe Japan and Europe are holding up warranties for Scythe USA products.
We've only reviewed a few Scythe products in our time including the Scythe Mugen 3 which is one of my personal favourite CPU coolers of all time in terms of bang for buck. That said the Scythe's Ashura has a lot to live up to for me. So without any further ado let us proceed through this review and find out how good the brand new Scythe Ashura is.
Enermax gab vor einigen Tagen den Startschuss für den Verkauf seiner ersten CPU-Kühler-Serie in Europa, die sich ETS-T40 nennt und in 3 verschiedenen Versionen verfügbar ist. Wir haben uns eine Variante davon angesehen, den ETS-T40 T.B.Vegas Duo, und auf einem übertakteten Core i7 2600K getestet.
Akasa Thermal Solutions are a well known cooling brand who strive to design competitive products which leave the consumer with a happy wallet. Value for money has long been the basis behind which their main products have been designed, with this aim proving to be successful enough to allow them to vastly expand their product catalogue. Akasa’s most recent success in the CPU cooling market was via the extremely competitive and highly regarded Akasa Venom. Today we will be taking a look at the Venom’s successor; the Akasa Venom Voodoo.
In this review Frostytech is checking out the boxy BeQuiet's Shadow Rock 2 heatsink which stands 159mm tall and weighs in at 1120grams. This heatsink has a footprint of 122x122mm without a fan, 122x149mm with the supplied 1600-800rpm, 120mm PWM fan installed."
