Zerotherm's Core 92 heatsink is a compact Intel-only thermal solution designed for socket 775 Core 2 Duo, socket 1156 Core i5 and socket 1366 Core i7 processors. Standing just 121mm tall, the Core 92 heatsink weighs a modest 470 grams and has a rather atypical footprint of 103 x 93mm. The heatsink is equipped with a single 92mm PWM fan, sandwiched between its two columns of aluminum cooling fins.

It has been a long time coming, but finally the king has graced us with its presence! The Noctua NH-D14 was released back on November 2nd 2009 and it has been the benchmark for high performance air coolers ever since that day. Despite that we've never actually gotten around to producing a review of this amazing cooler. So I asked Noctua if they could provide us with one and they duly delivered. With us pushing forward and testing so many CPU coolers it is easy to get lost in the mountain of numbers but what easier way to make it through than with some Noctua NH-D14 results as a signpost.
You may be thinking, this review is a bit late, isn't it kind of pointless? Well not really I'd say. Firstly we are reviewing the NH-D14 SE2011, or the "Special Edition". This was released back on November 2nd 2011 - exactly two years after the original Noctua NH-D14 came to market making it around 18 months old. The changes are minimal but it brings LGA 2011 support and some improved fans. Nonetheless the NH-D14 has never been more relevant for high performance CPU cooling and to this day it still probably outsells every other dual tower CPU cooler on the market. That said I think you'll agree that it's about time we gave the Noctua NH-D14 a thorough going over to show you why most enthusiasts regard this as the best air CPU cooler on the market. And let's face it with the NH-D14 selling by the boatload, with Noctua struggling to produce them fast enough, I wouldn't be surprised if we see it last for at least a few more years before a successor is introduced.
Furthermore if that hasn't made you excited enough then we've also opted to add a third fan, an NF-F12, and see how the NH-D14 performs under triple fan testing!

Today we are looking at the newest CPU cooler offering from Enermax, the ETS-T40. The new EST-T40 line from Enermax has a new patented fin design that Enermax says gets the ETS-T40’s thermal resistance down to 0.09*C/W. So join us as we look at the ETS-T40 and put it through the paces on our Intel Core i7-930 test system and see how it does against several other CPU cooling solutions!

The Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme CPU Cooler is a departure from what one would expect a CPU cooler to look like from Zalman. The Zalman CNPS 10X Extreme CPU Cooler is a tower cooler that has an awesome looking “Black-Pearl” nickel plated finish on it that makes it look like a million bucks. Read on to see how this new Zalman offering performs on our Core i7 test platform.

The newest CPU cooler from the traditional manufacturer, Cooler Master, is the TPC 812, which has a tower heatsink with a 120 mm fan, six U-shaped heatpipes, and two vapor chambers. Let's see if it really offers the "True Performance Cooling" that its name suggests.

Les Fermiers redonnent dans le ventirad CPU de 92mm, avec un modèle méconnu sur notre marché, pour l'instant : le Shagon ARC-118, et sa couleur très estivale. Un produit conçu par un des leaders du refroidissement notebook, Auras, qui avait déjà fait une excursion dans le retail avec plus ou moins de réussite. Retour gagnant ?

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.

For a gaming or other performance system I'd have no trouble recommending this product, I also feel it would also be perfect for a two/three fan push-pull setup on a performance heatsink where the fan speed needs to be fine-tuned. I would however find quite hard to recommend these fans for a purpose built quiet system as you would have to use the included fan controllers on every one to get it down to a suitable volume level, this would be messy and often impractical. That being said these fans do offer a good airflow to noise performance and should be ideal for most users.
