Choosing a CPU cooler is always a tightrope walk between Style, Performance, and Price; So seeing a new name to the market usually raises some eyebrows. ProlimaTech is a relatively new name to the cooling market: With that, I have been given the ProlimaTech Panther CPU Cooler to take a look at. Lets take a look at ProlimaTechs' goal with this cooler:
Prolimatech make some of the biggest and meatiest heatsinks on the market (such as the Genesis, Megahalems and so on) but today we have something relatively minuscule from Prolimatech in the form of the Panther CPU cooler. This is a quad 6mm heatpipe with a single 120mm red LED fan. It has been designed to be compact but high performance and it is targeted at the mid range user who values RAM compatibility. The Prolimatech Panther is not that far off your average tower heatsink CPU cooler at 161mm tall but is coming in at around £30 making it a very much value orientated option. It is also one of the very few Prolimatech CPU coolers to actually come bundled with a fan as they often provide only passive heatsinks and allow you to add your own fans.
The Prolimatech Panther is the first CPU cooler from Prolimatech that features four heat pipes! The Panther was designed to provide effective cooling with a design that requires just one 120x120x25mm PWM fan. Read on to see how the Prolimatech Panther performs on our Intel Core i5-2500K processor at stock speeds and when overclocked up to 4.8GHz!
The Prolimatech Panther is a CPU cooler with a tower heatsink, four heatpipes and a 120 mm fan with LEDs. It seems to be a smaller version of the Armageddon CPU cooler, which we already reviewed. Let's test it and see how well it performs.
Can Prolimatech hit the price vs performance sweet spot with their first quad heatpipe CPU cooler?
Prolimatech, founded in 2008 and based in Taiwan, is fairly new to the market but has already won praise for the high performance of their coolers. The Panther is a heatpipe tower cooler which has been proven to be a high performance and cost effective design. This is the CPU cooler I’ll be testing today.
Das folgende Problem sollte nahezu jedem bestens bekannt sein: In den letzten Jahren nahm die Verlustleistung der jeweils aktuellen Generation von Prozessoren und Grafikchips stetig zu. Während AMD und Intel bei ca. 100W realer thermischer Verlustleistung einen Gang runterschalten mussten, stellen ATI und nVidia noch immer neue Rekorde auf. Heute gilt es, beinahe 200W an thermischer Energie über Chipoberflächen an den Kühlkörper und von dort aus schnellstmöglich an die Luft abzugeben.
Prolimatech is going with the bigger is better theory with the release of its latest video card cooler, the MK-26.
Let’s test the Prolimatech MK-26 VGA cooler, which has six heatpipes and can use up to two 140 mm fans. Check it out!
VGA coolers are in my opinion becoming quite niche and almost extinct - particularly when it comes to air VGA coolers. This is because graphics card vendors have come a long way in terms of the cooling solutions they offer - ASUS' DC2, MSI's TF2 and EVGA's ACX to name but a few excellent cooling solutions. As a result it seems almost foolish to spend lots of money, time, effort and voiding your warranty to equip a custom VGA cooler. In terms of water blocks for graphics cards, these are still widespread because water cooling needs water blocks.
However, even with that quite gloomy stance on VGA coolers, air VGA coolers still have their place in the market. For example you may have bought a reference design graphics card and you just aren't happy with the temperatures or acoustics - or you may have bought at custom cooled one that doesn't cool the VRM and VRAM well enough or is just too big or long. This is where custom reference solutions like the Prolimatech MK-26 come in to play.
Prolimatech's MK-26 is one of the most impressive VGA coolers I have ever laid eyes on to date just on the basis of sheer size. It supports two 140 or 120mm fans, has six 6mm heat pipes and an extremely large and dense heatsink stack. I'm expecting great things from the Prolimatech MK-26.
