Today we are looking at the latest cooler from Arctic – the Freezer i30, which features an interchangeable 120mm PWM fan, 4 double sided direct touch heatpipes with cooling support up to 320 Watts. The i30 is released to exclusively support Intel motherboards.
Usually when a CPU cooler is reviewed here at the Shrimps we are talking about high end big and bulky models. Dual towers, triple fan equipped, the bigger the better. But what about for them that are building a high performance HTPC or eg a mini cube ? Do they have to rely solely on the included boxed coolers ? I had the privilege to build a Mine LAN PC inside a Lian Li V353 Cube shaped case. Most important factor was the build's size, not at the cost of performance. The choice of components was pretty high end : Asus Maximus IV Gene, Intel 2600K, 16Gb of Corsair ram, 120 Corsair GT SSD and a Nvidia GTX560 GPU. More than suitable for casual gaming purposes. After the build was completed, we noticed, during stability testing, that the CPU got pretty hot. And it was still running at out of the box speeds. Time to look for a beefier cooling solution Our eye fell onto Cooler Masters' latest low profile CPU cooler : The GeminII M4 CPU cooler.
Arctic hat vor kurzer Zeit wieder ein paar Grafikkartenkühler auf den Markt gebracht die mit vielen Karten kompatibel sind. Ich möchte hier den Accelero Mono Plus und den Accelero S1 Plus mit dazugehörigen Turbo Modul vorstellen. Das ganze habe ich auf einer Radeon HD 4850 getestet. Wie sich die neuen Kühler in Bezug auf Lautstärke und Kühlleistung schlagen, möchte ich hier zeigen.
Today we are going to look at the Be Quiet! Shadow Rock Pro which is part of the new Shadow Rock series. While the Dark Rock series was designed for the enthusiast segment where performance is the key consideration, the Shadow Rock is designed with quiet operation in mind. Let’s take a closer look.
Technic3D hat den Cooler Master Gemin II M4 CPU-Kühler im Test. Ob sich der Top-Flow Kühler für den HTPC Bereich gegen die Konkurrenz behaupten kann, steht im nachfolgenden Artikel.
First off let me start by saying I have been a huge fan of Noctua products since they sent me my first cooler to test so many years ago. In the time gone by, Noctua was one of the only companies driven to the perfection to search for a noise free user environment while still delivering some of the best cooling results on the market. To be bluntly obvious, there is only so long a company can utilize one basic concept before technology passes it by and they are no longer competitive. Well, Noctua thought ahead and really came up with a wonderful fan that is one of the most thought-out designs on the market today.I know, the first thing you are going to say is that Noctua fans are ugly and the colors don't match the theme in your chassis. To that I say simply this, get over it already. These colors have made Noctua fans famous over the years and can be discerned in a crowd at long distances. The technology involved in designing a fan like this newest submission far outweighs the concern for color. Then again I am a function over form sort of guy and the only one to see my rigs is me, unless I choose to host images of it.
It's like the stock market," explains one of my friends. "Sometimes it's up, and sometimes it's down. Sometimes, it even goes into a recession." In life, there are always certain features of various types of goods and products that stand out as what one considers good or bad. But before we decide or even get into our review today, let’s take a quick example to put things into perspective. One time, I walked into a conversation between two friends, in which they were talking about durians. To one of them, from his cultural background, durians are one of the tastiest fruits on the face of this earth. No matter what horrible things other people say about the durian, it is still the best. My other friend, however, detests durians with his life. Now, imagine a hedgehog -- you know, that cute animal with spikes on its back? For whatever reason, I've always associated objects looking like other objects, and the image of a hedgehog looking like a durian somehow pops into my mind. As some may see it, hedgehogs are one of the cutest animals around. Its face and how it puffs its spikes into a ball just makes it adorable. On the flip side, others are disgusted by its spikes, because it pokes whatever that comes near it. Whether you like the hedgehog for its looks or the durian for its tastes is really up to you, but the fact is that both of these objects are pointy and are good at being what they are. When I was asked to do another review on a heatsink -- specifically speaking, the SilenX Effizio EFZ-120HA5 -- many thoughts ran through my head. At first glance, its appearance looks quite decent, but getting down to its cooling ability while living up to its 'SilenX' name is another story. Is it good at being what it is? Read on to find out!
Kaum kommt AMD mit seiner neuen Grafikkarten Generation Radeon HD 7000 "Southern Islands" auf den Markt, so erscheinen bereits auch die ersten Alternativkühler für diese. So hat auch Arctic mehrere Modelle in sein Sortiment hinzugefügt mit Radeon HD 7000 Unterstützung. Unter anderen den Accelero Mono Plus und den Accelero S1 Plus den wir bereits in einem Test vorgestellt haben. Aber auch für das Spitzenmodell, die Radeon HD 7970, hat Arctic das passende parat. Der Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 den wir euch heute in diesem Artikel vorstellen wollen und testen ob es sich lohnt, den Referenzkühler gegen dieses Monstrum auszutauschen und er seinen Namen alle Ehre macht.
The Gaia from Xigmatek is in for testing today, we’ve all heard of Xigmatek, they came out of know where in 2005 with HDT (Heatsink Direct Touch) technology that not only performed well, but was very well priced too. The Gaia seems to be very similar to what we first saw from Xigmatek so we’ll see if the performance stacks up!
Wie schon in den letzten Tests angesprochen, hat ARCTIC als einer der wenigen Hersteller einen passenden Alternativkühler für die aktuelle Radeon HD 7970. Diesen Kühler möchten wir uns heute etwas genauer ansehen, auch wenn wir schon im Vorhinein wissen, dass es eine Verbesserung für unsere Grafikkarte geben wird.
