When choosing a heatsink for overclocking your processor, two things come to mind. How well does it cool, and how quiet is it? Zalman has been known for its silent PC hardware for quite some time now. Today we will be looking at the Zalman CNPS 9300AT. CNPS stands for Computer Noise Prevention System. This heatsink is the smaller version of the extremely popular CNPS9700 and CNPS9500 models.
In this review Frostytech is testing Scythe's Grand Kama Cross heatsink, the supped-up successor to the Kama Cross. This time around Scythe have sized it up by selecting a 140mm PWM fan that spins at 500-1300RPM, instead of the standard 120mm size. The Grand Kama Cross is a quiet all-around heatsink, at most producing 45.9 dBA noise and at best a nearly inaudible 29.8 dBA in our real-world tests.
There are many reasons for buying an aftermarket cooler; some are looking to keep their systems extremely quiet while others may be looking to increase heat capacity for overclocking. The Thermalright T-Rad2 GTX and VRM R3 can handle both of those situations and in some cases, at the same time.
Over the past decades, technology has rapidly evolved. From legacy typewriters and paper to modern day keyboards and Microsoft's Office suite, the way we work has changed dramatically. This goes without saying that human attitudes towards technology have also evolved. From the typical 1990's "Can I use your old-school desktop, dad?" to the modern day setting of having one or more computers for everyone in the family, an increasing amount of people are becoming more obsessed with possessing their own personal electronic devices. Let's put it this way: Can you name the last high school kid who doesn't even know what half the parts in their computers do, and yet is now attempting to build their own system? Yeah, I can name quite a few. In general, everyone wants the latest and greatest, especially when it comes to computers. What I have specifically noticed in this area is the competition between people when it comes to processors. Some swear by Core i5s, which becomes surprisingly competitive against LGA 1156 Intel Core i7 processors once overclocked. But when it comes to CPUs, many other factors also come into play. This includes one of the biggest elements -- heat. Overclocking with increased voltage would introduce a large amount of heat, and your stock heatsink isn't necessarily designed to handle all the extra thermal energy. This is why many computer enthusiasts invest in aftermarket CPU cooling. These can range from a small price tag on value oriented units, to more bank-account-demanding high performance units like the Noctua NH-D14. Following up on Arctic Cooling, they claim to have produced a heatsink that is able to cool mid-range to higher end processors at a mere $35 price tag at press time. Compatible with Intel sockets 1366, 1156, and 775, as well as AMD sockets AM3, AM2+, AM2, 939, and 754, what we have here in our labs is the company's latest creation -- the Freezer 13. Being a proud owner of an LGA 1366 Intel Core i7 processor, I feel most excited to get my hands on one of these today for the review. Read on to see if this heatsink is worth your while!
Technic3D hat den ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme 7970 VGA-Kühler im Test. Wie Arctic die Lautstärke und die Temperaturen auf einer HD 7970 Grafikkarte verbessert und ob sich die Montage einfach gestaltet, steht im nachfolgenden Testbericht.
In this review Frostytech will be testing Coolermaster's Hyper 212 Plus tower heatsink - an exposed heatpipe base cooler that comes ready out of the box for socket 1156 Intel 'Lynnfield' P55 motherboards. Naturally, it supports Intel socket 775/1366/1156 and AMD 939/AM2/AM3 processors. For whatever reason, Intel has spaced the motherboard mounting holes for socket 775, 1156 and 1366 all a little differently... but that's another story.
Almost never spotted in the wild, Noctua engineers have been responsible for some of the finest sandwiches [sorry, coolers - Ed] in human history. If you catch a glimpse of Zardon in the lab, with his 2600k nuts clocked past 5GHz and the breeze from the cooling solution blowing his hair back, then you can be sure it will be a Noctua. But a small outfit from Beijing wants to change all that. Enter the DeepCool.
Today we are testing the Gamer Storm Dracula, a huge VGA cooler from Deepcool with six heatpipes that can be used with up to four 120 mm fans.
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.
Thermaltake has always been a big name in the enthusiast computer market. Today we will be looking at a new heatsink from Thermaltake with multi directional air intake and a unique quad heatpipe design. The Thermaltake V1AX combines aluminum, copper, and a quiet fan to replace your stock heatsink. Let’s see if it can handle the heat of an overclocked i7 920.
