It's been almost 5 years since Zalman introduced their old ZM-F3 fan. Today I've had a chance to look at and extensively use their brand new Zalman ZM-SF3 & ZM-F3-FDB Fans. We will now find out if Zalman has produced a suitable successor to their original F series and if it upholds the legacy of their Original F Series fans and the performance and quiet characteristics that those products brought to the market.
Kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel und ziemlich genau 12 Monate nach unserem letzten 140mm Lüfter-Roundup haben wir uns dazu entschlossen, das Thema nochmals aufzugreifen und die aktuelle Marktsituation in einem weiteren Review zu reflektieren. Die Begründung dafür liegt auf der Hand und wurde uns auch von den einschlägigen Onlineshops bestätigt, die Verkaufszahlen der 140mm Lüfter übersteigt mittlerweile die der 120mm Pendents und dies verwundert keineswegs. Die Vergrößerung der Lüfterdurchmesser ermöglicht in der Regel auch eine Maximierung des Volumenstroms. Kombiniert man dies mit einer Drehzahl Minimierung, erhalten wir exakt das, was alle wollen: einen Lüfter der langsam und leise seine Runden dreht und trotzdem genug Luftvolumen transportiert.
Since KitGuru was founded last year, we have probably looked at more products from Arctic (Cooling) than any other manufacturer. We have covered everything from 5.1 surround sound gaming headsets to budget-friendly CPU coolers.
The Freezer13 will eventually replace the Freezer7 Rev2 as Arctic’s flagship cooler and on the evidence of these tests consumers won’t be left disappointed. The performance is on a par with the already excellent Freezer7 series and does so with a lower noise profile. In fact, with Cool ‘n’ Quiet enabled the fan is eerily silent and easily able to handle the Phenom II overclocked to 3.8GHz @1.5 Vcore on all four cores. Combine that with the excellent new design, proven reliability from Arctic’s previous products and a retail price below Ł25 - the Freezer13 truly is the “bang for buck” king!
In GlacialTech's lineup Siberia accompanies Alaska. But while Alaska is a universal solution good for both regular users and overclockers, Siberia is a more specialized, niche product made for those who like silence and prefer HTPC enclosures.
Im sehr stark umkämpften Mark der Luftkühler spielt Xigmatek schon seit längerer Zeit eine nicht ganz kleine Rolle. Wir erinnern uns nur an Thors Hammer, der sehr beeindrucken konnte. Nun schickt Xigmatek einen kleinen Bruder ins Rennen, der auf dem Namen Aegir hört. Auch hier kommt wieder die doppellagige Heatpipe-Struktur zum Einsatz. Im direkten Kontakt mit der CPU stehen beim Aegir zwei 8mm innen und zwei 6mm Heatpipes im äußeren Bereich. Darüber befinden sich dann zwei weitere 6mm Heatpipes. Mit einem 120mm Lüfter ausgestattet, sollte es für den Kühler dann auch kein Problem darstellen, um die von der CPU aufgenommene Verlustleistung wieder an die Umgebungsluft abzugeben. Wie sich der Aegir bei uns im Test geschlagen hat, erfahrt Ihr im folgenden Bericht. Viel Spaß beim Lesen......
For a gaming or other performance system I'd have no trouble recommending this product, I also feel it would also be perfect for a two/three fan push-pull setup on a performance heatsink where the fan speed needs to be fine-tuned. I would however find quite hard to recommend these fans for a purpose built quiet system as you would have to use the included fan controllers on every one to get it down to a suitable volume level, this would be messy and often impractical. That being said these fans do offer a good airflow to noise performance and should be ideal for most users.
Xigmatek's Loki is a terrific little cooler that packs a lot of performance into a compact package that's easily installed and should fit on just about any board and in most cases. Widely available online for as little as $25 US, Loki is also very reasonable and represents an excellent value.
The Hyper 101 is a small and inexpensive tower cooler, with two heatpipes and an 80-mm fan. Let's test it and see its performance.
Swiftech has been a major name in air cooling in the past and with the Polaris 120 they are solidly throwing their hat back in the ring. The tower style cooler is a break from their Helicoid design but the performance shows they have done their homework. Five large 8mm direct contact heatpipes along with a tower that features a tunneling design delivers good performance. The design of the mounting hardware incorporates all of the major CPU sockets and limits the amount of installation hardware required.
