If i had to guess what most of your reading these lines right now use to keep the temperatures of your CPUs in check chances are that most of you are still using regular CPU air coolers and why not since they can provide excellent cooling efficiency without asking for much in return like custom watercooling kits and even some AIO models? Unfortunately as I’ve already mentioned numerous times in the past CPU air coolers have reached a level of performance which i really doubt they will ever be able to surpass (AIO solutions might) but in the long run they may not have to since miniaturization (smaller manufacturing process) tends to reduce power requirements and thus temperatures. With the same reasoning in mind Noctua recently announced several "compact" CPU air coolers but for people wanting something more without however having to worry about clearance issues they also released a "tweaked" version of their flagship NH-D15 model which they named the NH-D15S.

Popular with PC enthusiasts, Thermalright makes cooling products that are known for their quality and performance. What some people might not know is that Thermalright also caters to the server / workstation crowd, offering heatsinks that fit dual socket boards and rack chassis. This review will take a look at a pair of the HR-01 X heatsinks, which fit a 120mm fan.
In this review we’ll be looking at an innovative and new cooler from ThermalTake called the SpinQ. The SpinQ is a very unique heatsink in that it employs a heatpipe design that is cooled internally by a large and powerful squirrel cage blower.
Continuing with our cooling theme here on Verdis, we take a look at a product from a company that deserves all the accolades it receives. Yes, you guessed it – Noctua. In the past we have seen great performance from products from this manufacturer and so the NF-B9 fan up for review today straight away has high expectations. Let’s hope it can deliver…
After reviewed couple of giant CPU coolers (with 120mm fan) from Noctua; NH-U12P & NH-C12P, today we are going to review its smaller brother; NH-U9B. Noctua NH-U9B looks identical with NH-U12P but it only support 92mm fan rather than 120mm fan and Noctua NH-U9B is an ideal cooler for those are having casing space constraint especially HTPC case.
Graphics card cooling has become almost as important as CPU Cooling, if not more so and with many products to choose from; it’s difficult to know which one to go for. The GPU cooler up for review today is the Coolink GFXChilla and the low profile design promises high performance cooling with low noise outputs. Let’s see how it performs.
Today we have another brand arrived on our doorstep; Coolink which seems a new brand to us because actually it is a retail brand of an OEM cooler maker; Kolink which was established in year 1996 so it is not surprised if you never heard of Coolink before. Let us take a look on their first notebook cooler; LapChilla where we are attracted by its 22mm cooling fan.
Der Sommer steht vor der Tür und die Komponenten im PC erfahren mehr Wärme. Oft ist es heute so, dass die Komponenten durch etwas mehr Spannung über ihre Spezifikation hinaus betrieben werden. Eine Komponente im PC, ist dort immer ganz vorn mit dabei – der Arbeitsspeicher.
DeepCool's IceBlade Pro heatsink is Xigmatek-esq looking exposed heatpipe base CPU cooler with a dark nickel plating over every inch. The IceBlade Pro is built around four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes which conduct heat to the aluminum cooling fins above. Exposed heatpipe heatsinks are good with CPUs that have large integrated heat spreaders and large silicon die's below (to spread the heat around). One or two 120mm fans can be mounted to either side of the cooler, and rubber vibration absorbing posts are supplied along with extra fan clips. A single 120mm PWM fan that operates at 900-1500RPM is supplied.
In the end, I was very impressed with this heat sink's performance. Utilizing only 4 heat pipes in direct contact with the processor, it pushed ahead of its competition. My only concern would fall with the universal mount and the possibility of the excess material impinging on a protruding transistor or capacitor. Sometimes doing more with less isn't always a great idea.
