Today we are testing the Antec Kühler H2O 920 CPU liquid cooling system, which is a sealed system with two 120 mm fans and USB control. Check it out!
Yes, we know! These GPU coolers are getting old now, that doesn't make them bad coolers though. As long as they are fit for their purpose, age is irrelevant. The point behind today's review is to see if an after-market cooler such as the one we are reviewing is really a good step-up in the cooling world from the tailor-made stock cooler of your graphics card. With so much emphasis from companies such as Gigabyte, MSI and Asus being put on their better than-stock-cooled graphics cards which use the Windforce, Twin Frozr and DirectCU designs repectively, we want to see if those cards justify their higher price tag when a cheap and cheerful after-market cooler may fit the bill.
Be Quiet! have been around for quite a while now and are well known for having produced some of the best high-end power supplies on the market over the last few years. Now they have launched a line of CPU coolers which currently feature two models, the Dark Rock Advanced and the Dark Rock Pro. Today we are gong to look at Be Quiet!’s top-end CPU cooler, the Dark Rock Pro, which uses a similar ‘Sandwich’ design to the popular Noctua NH-D14.
Il y a peu, Thermalright a décidé de renouer avec le low-cost, et décline quelques uns de ses modèles phares, comme le HR-02 qui nous revient en version Macho. Un radiateur énorme, qui profite d'un bundle complet, avec un ventilateur TY, et un kit de fixation AMD en plus du classique Intel. Attendu pour 45€ maximum, il semble armé pour écraser la concurrence.
Last I remember from Zalman, I was testing the CNPS10X coolers, of which there were four versions in total - two of which I got to look at personally. There was the Performa and the Extreme, both of which were typical tower based designs with a top cover and other tricks specific to the series. The cooler we are about to see takes on some of the attributes of these coolers, but harks back to the CNPS7 series of coolers for its outer appearance. You might even say both got their concept for the CNPS5, but we aren't splitting hairs here and it looks much more like the 7 series.
The Lich King was the master and lord of the Scourge, and he ruled over them telepathically from the Frozen Throne on top of Icecrown. Well, I guess until I killed him about a year ago, but that is beside the point. The Thermaltake Frio OCK, a strange name for a product, literally means Cold Over-clocker King (sic). So what does an undead lord have to do with CPU cooling? Absolutely nothing; however, I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the two of them. Anyone who has played Warcraft 3 or World of Warcraft would certainly know what gave me the idea of putting them together. The real question is whether or not the Lich King can keep my Core i7-2600K pleasantly chilled? With Thermaltake boasting a title of king, it leaves for some very high expectations. As I'm sure many of the readers know, practical overclocking is not just about speed. It is a balance between performance, heat dissipation, stability, and to some extent, sound. This means for an air cooler to be considered king, it would need to do exceptionally well in at least three of categories listed. Obviously, the Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler, reviewed by my colleague Jonathan back in January 2010, comes to mind as the challenger to the Thermaltake Frio OCK. As it turns out, in Jonathan's other review, the "regular" Frio was only a few degrees warmer than the NH-D14. I'm curious to see if the "OCK version" can prove to the NH-D14 who is really the master of the undead when it comes to cooling, so read on to find out!
DeepCool are a cooling brand who up until the not so distant past were relatively unheard of. When the time was correct, they wisely chose to enter the market and successfully built their way up to becoming a recognised contender among the cooling giants. Their product library now consists of CPU, VGA, HDD, Server and notebook coolers along with other goods such as case fans and iPad accessories.
The max cooling capacity of the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro heatsink is listed at 300 Watts by the manufacturer; far, far and away beyond the heat output of any desktop processor. This time around Arctic have released a tower-style heatsink standing 159mm tall and weighing 893 grams. The CPU cooler comes with a small 50mm fan mounted to the baseplate in addition to a primary 120mm fan that rotates at 1350-900RPM.
Mit zahlreichen gelungenen Kühlerkreationen hat sich die EKL-Endkundenmarke Alpenföhn in den vergangenen Jahren zur echten Größe am Markt etabliert. Der neuste Spross des Hauses hört auf den Namen Himalaya und möchte mit schlanker Radiatorform, hoher Material- und Verarbeitunsgüte sowie leiser 140-mm-Lüfterausstattung hoch hinaus. ComputerBase testet den Alpenföhn Himalaya.
Schon seit einigen Jahren herrscht praktisch Stagnation im Hause der Luftkühler. Die letzte große Schlacht lieferten sich zwei verschiedene Bauweisen: Towerkühler, mit parallel zum Mainboard verlaufendem Luftstrom, und Modelle in Top-Blow Bauweise, bei der die Hautplatine mit frischer Luft versorgt wird. Tech-Review hat Noctuas Top-Blow-Kühler NH-C14 durch den Testparcour gejagt. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!
