Aircooling
Vor circa 15 bis 20 Jahren war Kühlung überhaupt kein Thema. Prozessoren liefen ohne Lüfter und oft auch ohne Kühlkörper. Entsprechend gab es auch keinen Lärm. Lediglich die Laufwerke arbeiteten mit beweglichen Teilen, doch auch sie waren noch verhältnismäßig leise. Aktuell kann man sich so eine Welt voller Silent-PCs kaum noch vorstellen. Denn selbst in einem kleinen Rechner arbeiten ...

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.

Hersteller für Lüfter gibt es aktuell sehr viele auf dem Markt und genau so unterschiedlichen fallen auch die diversen Modelle bei diesen aus. Neben den typischen Merkmalen wie der Größe und der Drehzahl, bei denen nicht wirklich viele Varianten möglich sind, versuchen immer mehr Hersteller sich durch spezielle Features oder das Design abzuheben. Auch Cooler Master versucht sich so von der Masse abzusetzen, was zumindest optisch - mit den drei heute vorgestellten Lüftern - gelingt. Neben dem "löchrigen" Excalibur, dem "halben" Turbine Master MACH0.8 fällt auch der "gebogene" SickleFlow120 aus der Masse an Lüftern heraus. Ob sich diese aber auch technisch abheben können, zeigt das folgende Review.

Back in September and October of 2009 there was a lot of activity in the thermal paste marketplace. Gelid updated their product range with GC-2 and Arctic Cooling followed up soon after with their replacement for MX-2, MX-3. We reviewed both and found the MX-3 was a slightly better performer. Then, to our surprise Gelid immediately updated their range again with GC-Extreme in an attempt to out-do MX-3 and we found that to match the Arctic Cooling product in performance. Since that flurry of activity things have been quiet, other than Arctic Cooling changing their name to Arctic, that is until today when a box arrived on our test bench containing their new MX-4 paste.

Deepcool's Ice Matrix 400 is a great looking tower cooler that installs easily and comes with a quiet fan and a lot of handy accessories. It also cools very well, as long as it doesn't get pushed too hard.

Maingear prides themselves on delivering premium quality products along with thorough and personal support for the systems and is why they went to CoolIT to partner up to design a custom solution to fit inside of the SilverStone RV01 chassis. We all know that SilverStone long ago jumped ahead of the curve and started cooling their cases with 180mm fans. This gave Maingear a unique opportunity that they took full advantage of. Maingear could have followed suit with Corsair, Antec, CoolIT, or Asetek and just deliver the standard 120mm solution that we have seen in many, many forms, even one with a dual 120mm radiator! For Maingear that wasn't enough, they want to deliver their customers something even better.

ProlimaTech holds the crown for best CPU cooler here at Benchmark Reviews with the Megahalems. They have also surprised a lot of review websites with their PK1 thermal compound. All of these things are a massive feat for a company that was founded just 2 years ago. It comes as no surprise that ProlimaTech have now ventured into another field within the PC enthusiast market: VGA cooling. Introducing the MK-13 VGA cooler, ProlimaTech's first entry into what is a steadily growing market, Weighing in at 555g it's no baby, and has six heatpipes to transfer heat to the uniquely designed heatsink fins. The ProlimaTech MK-13 comes with nearly universal compatibility and future proofing for video cards. Many consider Thermalright to hold the crown here, but I get the fee! ling that ProlimaTech won't settle for second best. Join me as Benchmark Reviews examines and tests the ProlimaTech MK-13.

To be quite honest with you, the last time I used Zalman products to cool my graphics cards was back when it was the hip thing to turn the mundane X800GTO into the X850XTPE. Back then coolers were much smaller, but even so, Zalman seemed to be ahead of the game as far as what coolers offered the best bang for the buck. This is back when taking a VF700, or for a little more money, you could get the VF900 and really open the cards up in overclocking and overvolting potential. Heck, I even stripped my VF900 off the X800 and moved it over to my X1950PRO and it was more than capable for that card as well."

Im vierten und letzten Teil unserer Kühlertestreihe 2008 stellen wir euch zwei weitere Kühler vor. Mit dem brandneuen Dark Knight möchte Xigmatek seine S1283 Erfolgsserie fortführen und schickt den vielversprechenden Kühler mit in das Rennen. Der zweite Testkandidat ist der Scythe Orochi, der schon seit Mitte des Jahres verfügbar ist, in diesem Test allerdings nicht fehlen darf. Der Orochi zielt auf den semi-passiven Einsatz ab und möchte mit einer geringen Geräuschkulisse überzeugen. Wie sich die beiden Kühler im Testfeld schlagen, erfahrt ihr in der Fortsetzung unseres Roundups 2008.
