Antec Mini Skeleton-90 Open Air Mini-ITX Case @ tweaktown.com
[Nov-03-09] (0 Comments)
Back in May we looked at the Antec Skeleton and I was quite pleased with what Antec was offering in their uniquely designed open air chassis. I loved the concept and using and installing components in it was a breeze. The top mounted fan worked wonders for keeping RAM and chipset coolers full of cool air flow, greatly reducing the ambient air the motherboard sat in. the biggest complaint I had then was head room for CPU coolers. Let’s see what they have come up with this time.Today we are looking at the Mini Skeleton-90 from Antec. This version is a mITX compatible, sized down model of the Skeleton I previously reviewed. Since things were so easy and pleasurable to use the first time around, I don’t expect many issues, aside from cooler clearances. Enough with what I expect, let’s get to the images and let the product speak for itself!

Corsair decided that for their third CPU Liquid cooling solution that they would work with Asetek and implement a couple of minor changes on their LCLC (redesigned the pump and cold plate) and then bring it to the retail market under the Corsair brand name. The plan worked and Corsair announced the Hydro Series H50 CPU Cooler on June 2, 2009, which is improved Asetek LCLC cooler. The result is a CPU cooler that Corsair claims is an easy-to-install CPU cooling solution that outperforms stock CPU coolers by more than 30%.

[May-29-09] (0 Comments)
At first I had mixed feelings the new top air cooler, the Titan Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ. With never having used or seen a review for a Titan cooler before I didn’t know what to expect. When I picked up the Fenrir it didn’t have the “feel” of a solid cooler like the NH-U12P or the Ultra 120. I was pleasantly surprised when I watched the numbers come up, and I’m looking forward to see more offerings from Titan...

Thermaltake ISGC-300 CPU Cooler @ tweaktown.com
[Apr-21-09] (0 Comments)
I get quite a few coolers to test that pass over my desk. Most of these coolers follow the basic tower design and heatpipes of various quantities and diameters that remove the heat either by directly touching the IHS of the CPU, or removing it from an aluminum or copper base. What soon follows after the design is to start looking at a sufficient cooling mechanism or a high CFM fan in most instances. We should all know by now that with high CFM fans brings with them an elevated noise level as well. Thermaltake is one of the smaller percentages of manufacturers that are taking the jump to silent computing. They have developed a line of ISGC, or Inspiration of Silent Gaming Cooling CPU coolers. Thermaltake incorporates a new fan to cool this line-up of coolers, the Pure Silence ISGC Fan 12. This fan provides a decent amount of CFM and has some technology involved to keep the noise levels down to a whisper while in use. More on these fans will be discussed later in this review.

[News] Vantec Aeroflow FX92/FX120 HDT CPU Coolers @ virtual-hideout.net
[Oct-13-08] (0 Comments)
I'd have to say that the FX92 is definitely not a heatsink to passup; though it does manage to make itself heard when spinning up to meet theload, it's cooling performance nearly matches that of the much heaviersinks, and even an upgraded watercooling kit. That's nothing to sneeze at.So, what we now have sitting here are a pair of products - one which isgreat, and one that needs work. On the plus side, though - they both workwell enough, are accessible enough, and cheap enough to recommend, andthat's a step forward.

Withthe increasing amount of tower-type CPU coolers on the market,enthusiasts seem to have entirely forgotten about the classic top-downformat. So today, we’ll be taking a step back from tower formatheatsinks by reviewing the Noctua NH-C12P – a cooler whichsurprisingly, uses the top-down design. Let’s resurrect this staple ofdays gone by, and find out if it can beat today’s preferred format.

XIGMATEK HDT-SD964 CPU Cooler @ tweaktown.com
[Aug-14-08] (0 Comments)
With a trio of heatpipe direct touch CPU cooler reviews under our belts, I can definitively say that the tech is quickly catching on and spreading like wildfire. I am standing strong behind my statement from the last review of a H.D.T. cooler that I think this is the direction most CPU heatsinks will go in the future; much like the way nearly all CPU coolers use heatpipes nowadays.Today we are going to take a look at the HDT-SD964 from XIGMATEK. Unlike all of the Heatpipe Direct Touch (H.D.T.) coolers we have looked at thus far, this cooler does not use a 120mm fan. The HDT-SD964 uses a 92mm fan and is a little shorter than the others. This will allow the cooler to be placed in smaller enclosures like 4U server chassis’ and equal sized media center cases.

Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer - XSs @ xsreviews.co.uk
[Aug-06-08] (0 Comments)
Youcan see all manner of designs and technology these days on CPU coolersranging from the weird and wonderful, to the more conservative andstylish. But it is the technologies behind the cooling that matters themost to any hardware enthusiast. One technology that has offeredimpressive performance in the past is the HDT design, where theheatpipes actually touch the CPU. This should deliver greater andfaster dissipation due to increased contact between the heat transportcomponents, in this case the heatpipes and the core.One product that has this tech and wishes to use it to create somehopefully great results, is the Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer. Letstake this one for a spin and see how its does.

APACK ZEROtherm Nirvana NV120 Premium @ tweaktown.com
[Jul-28-08] (0 Comments)
Even though ZEROtherm doesn’t have a long history of enthusiast products, their quality has impressed me thus far. The Hurricane HC92 won an award in our Mega 9-way VGA cooler roundup back in April. And their latest product, the ZEN FZ 120 proved to be a great performer with the added benefit of costing less than enthusiast CPU coolers. Today we will be looking at ZEROtherm’s flagship cooler; the Nirvana NV120 Premium.The Nirvana has a small price premium over the ZEN; around 10 Dollars here in the States. Newegg currently lists the ZEN with a 10 Dollar mail-in rebate which negates the price difference. It will be interesting to see if and how much better the Premium cooler performs compared to the newer ZEN 120 that we reviewed last month.

[May-31-08] (0 Comments)
Thermaltake is back with one of our favorite CPU cooling designs, the Orb. The latest offering is a revamp of the MaxOrb we tested back in December, but with a twist of copper added in for good measure. The original MaxOrb fared well in our performance tests and I found the mounting mechanism for Intel motherboards innovative. Let’s dive in and take a look at the new Thermaltake MaxOrb EX; we’ll then test it the same way we did the MaxOrb and all of our other CPU coolers to see if Thermaltake were able to get even more performance out of the Orb design.

[Apr-30-08] (0 Comments)
The GlacialTech Igloo 5750 is a different design from the typical heat-pipe coolers on the market today for a number of reasons. Most obvi ous is that it is not a tower cooler. One of its other features worth men tioning is that it is quiet for an active cooler; at 15 dBA you would hav e a hard time hearing this fan inside any case. If you are looking for si lence from your PC this should be on your list of CPU coolers to purchase ...

[Apr-04-08] (0 Comments)
The overall designs for the H.D.T. coolers are great. The install onthe RVT-12025D model was easier than the RVT-12025. This was due to a tightclearance issue with my fingers pushing down on the pins for the Intelinstall. On a positive note, the motherboard removal was not necessary, andthat is another major plus in my book for CPU cooler installs. With thatsaid, both H.D.T coolers performed well, both are damn near silent, and theoption of either a tower or low profile unit is another plus.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 CPU Cooler @ tweaktown.com
[Feb-12-08] (0 Comments)
While the design isn't unique, it does follow a pattern set for th by some very efficient CPU Coolers. From a distance it would be diffic ult to tell the 212 from our current performance leader and award winner, the Noctua NH-12P; the designs are so close.Cooler Master does have a vast distribution system and getting your hands on a Hyper 212 is going to be a lot easier than finding the Rosewill Z5. A big plus for consumers is that they can walk into many retail location s and pull a Cooler Master product right off of the shelf.

Tuniq Tower 120 Ultra Silent CPU Cooler @ rbmods.com
[Feb-08-08] (0 Comments)
One thing that is common with most CPU coolers that use air coolingis that they typically include a fan.

[Jan-12-08] (0 Comments)
The most promising physical technological improvements have been,and still are, the implementation of heat pipes. Manufacturers have designedheat pipe specific CPU coolers using various numbers of pipes. Some makersdesign theirs with only a couple heat pipes while others seem to add as manyas they can fit on a CPU cooler. Some look like CPU coolers and others looklike engines with copper headers. While all these variations have their ownappeal, ASUS has chosen to design coolers with a more isometric feel intheir lineup.We've seen a few of their coolers here at VH before and they were alwaysworthy of recommendations. We have a new one on hand that is actually anupdated version of the original Silent Knight CPU Cooler. Today, the SilentKnight II CPU Cooler is on the work bench and looks quite promising.

[Nov-04-07] (0 Comments)
The CNPS8700 LED, which was introduced at CeBIT 2007 in Hanover,Germany, is an all copper heatpipe and heatsink CPU cooler with a lowerprofile and larger, 110 mm fan as compared to the CNPS7000. The CNPS7500-Cuoffers improved performance over the CNPS7700. It is also made of 100%copper and has an 110 mm silent fan just like the CNPS8700. Both coolerssport the Flower Heatsink Design, which is comprised of a plethora of copperfins atop a copper base, with a clear fan with LED lights set in the centerof the fins. The only major difference between the two is that the CNPS8700LED also has heatpipes incorporated into the design. Which one cools better?Are they as quiet as Zalman claims? These thought-provoking questions arejust what this review will attempt to answer.

Thermaltake's MaxOrb and V1 CPU coolers @ bit-tech.net
[Aug-16-07] (0 Comments)
Neither ofthese heatsinks are outright cheaper than the competition, but they areboth available around the £30 mark - this is certainly a viable cost toanyone looking for a performance cooler. The MaxOrb is on the rightside of that £30 depending where you shop and offers a marginallybetter performance, although it is physically larger. But does thatmatter? It still fits on every board we tried it on and even though themounting is a bit of a hassle at first, once the clips are on/screwsare in, it's job done in five minutes. Pop the kettle on and have abrew waiting for when you've finished.The V1 has more intuitive and accessible clips, whereas the Orb needsclips and a screw retention, but the beauty of the MaxOrb is that theretention clips don't need forcefully pushing into the motherboardbecause they are just used to mount the surrounding plate.All in all, set the fan to medium-low and both will cool fantasticallywell for a very reasonable investment of around £30. Both provide agreat cooler for the investment, but the MaxOrb simply looks great in acase and despite being a pain to install, once in, it performs betterthan the V1 with a similar amount of (low) noise.

Zerotherm CF800 and CF900 CPU Coolers @ pro-clockers.com
[Aug-13-07] (0 Comments)
The enormous amount of heat produced by today's dual and quad-coreprocessors makes purchasing a third-party CPU cooler almost a necessity forany user building a performance computer system. Most quality heatsinks will cost around $50, butZerotherm's CF800 and CF900 heatsinks won't break the bank at $29.99 a piece, and should provide PCbuilders with a cost-effective solution to cool today's hottest CPUs. The real questions toanswer in this review are if the copper-based CF900 can outperform thealuminum-based CF800, and whether there is a big enough difference betweenthem and the stock Intel cooler to warrant the expense. We'll let theresults speak for themselves.

CPU coolers come and CPU coolers go, but only a select few reallyleave an impression on us. The GIGABYTE 3D Rocket II is one of those bigimpression makers. The Dual Rocket Airflow Design Fan Duct provides betterperformance and a silent environment. The 3D Rocket II may not be the firstto use 2 fans on a CPU cooling device, but it's the first one that I know ofthat uses one of its fans to blow air down over the CPU and surroundingcomponents. The cooler itself consists of 4 heatpipes, a copper base, andlarge aluminum fins, along with a Linear fan speed control that can mount ina free PCI bracket or upfront in a 3.5

The hardware manufacturer Spire has made a bit of a reputation for itself by producing cooling products, like stock replacement CPU coolers, but recently has done seen some growth. In a rather ambitious move they teamed up with the designer Pininfarina to produce the computer case that we will be looking to in this article. The Pininfarina is a complex and interesting enclosure, definitely not what I would have expected from Spire or a company new to this segment of the hardware market. We had a chance to spend some time with one, so let's see how Spire did with this performance enclosure.

Today for review I have something from our friends at Zalman. Now weknow Zalman makes some great CPU coolers, but most people avoid using thethermal grease that comes with after market coolers if favor of some of theother name brands out there. For quite a while now Arctic Silver has beenthe reigning champion in this area, but the item I received for review isZalman's own Thermal Grease and from what I can tell it's just as good ifnot slightly better than the reigning champion.

[Feb-27-06] (0 Comments)
Although Gigabyte has made a name for itself by producing motherboards an d video cards, lately they have focused increasingly on other types of har dware. Among these have been their CPU coolers, which are not that commo n but have been getting some positive press and look quite promising. Th is review is going to be taking a look at Gigabyte's G-Power Lite CPU cool er. This unit is Gigabyte's take on a fairly conventional heatpipe CPU c ooler. At first glance it appears to be just what most enthusiasts are l ooking for- quiet, more powerful than the stock cooler, and easy to instal l. It uses a fairly large fan and three heatpipes to get the job done. This formula has been a success in the past, so expectations are high.

[Dec-24-05] (0 Comments)
Artic Cooling is famous for their video card coolers, but they offer more. The Freezer 64 Pro is the latest addition to their CPU coolers. Clever routing of airflow cools the motherboard voltage circuitry. Another good idea is that the fan is mounted on rubber posts which absorb any vibration caused by the fan. During our testing we learn that the Freezer 64 Pro can not only deliver solid cooling performance but does so without creating a lot of noise.

Neoseeker Thermaltake Golden Orb II @ neoseeker.com
[Sep-14-05] (0 Comments)
The cooler has a fairly manageable 120mm diameter but weighs in at roughly750 grams, not making it a true lightweight by current standards. It uses 66aluminum fins in a radial pattern protruding from a copper core in a verysimilar fashion to what Zalman has been doing with their current line up ofCPU coolers. The 100mm fan in the Golden Orb II spins at only 1600 RPM, butis large enough to still move a respectable 35 CFM of air. When powered up,a blue LED illuminates the pearly translucent blades giving the cooler aunique look in comparison to similarly constructed heat sinks.

The Hyper 6+ faired well against the NT02, but its 100mm fan placed higher up in the heatsink frame couldn't keep the system temps the NT02 had to offer. While performance may be the most important factor for CPU coolers, we can't neglect simplicity. If its hard to install, users won't buy it. The Hyper 6+ was not the easiest cooler to install. It was more difficult to install and it would most certainly be nice if future revisions could simplify the install procedure.

While the majority of the CPU cooler market has embraced incorporating heat
pipes into their coolers, Zalman has found a great deal of success with its
zero heatpipe CFPS7 series of oversized bowl shaped CPU coolers. They offer
very quiet, albeit not supreme, cooling performance. Now, Zalman has
applied the same oversized heatsink and fan cooler design into a cooler
that cools the second hottest chip in a computer system, the video card's
GPU (graphics processing unit). Introducing the Zalman VF700-AlCu VGA
cooler.

MGE Quantum Case Review @ InsaneTek
[Dec-29-04] (0 Comments)
When consumers look for cases, they are attracted by its looks. Hopefully, the pretty case will be built with high quality materials. MGE strives to meet these standards with their new cases. MGE Company (Manufacturer of Great Electronics) was first started in 1990, but has not made a huge impression in the computer world. A recent poll in our forums reflects the relatively low recognition of the brand. Yet, they have introduced many products over the years, ranging from CPU coolers to computer cases. Today we'll be looking at one of their newest products: the MGE Quantum Black Mid-Tower.

Zalman CNPS7700-AlCu Ultra Silent CPU Cooler @ A True Review
[Nov-29-04] (0 Comments)
With CPU speeds climbing higher and higher; so too is the amount of heat
they put out. This is reason that it is a golden age for after market CPU
coolers. More and more users are finding out that stock coolers are just
not cutting it. One of the most noticeable traits of after market coolers
is how big they are getting. This is due to the idea that the bigger the
heatsink, the more surface area there is to dissipate heat. An example of
this idea is Zalman's newest addition to their CNPS7 series of CPU coolers,
the CNPS7700-AlCu Ultra Silent CPU Cooler.

Evercool is the top 5 cooling fan manufacturer in Taiwan, we specialized in PC Thermal Solutions, especially in CPU cooling field, our main products including CPU Coolers, DC Fans, Heat Sinks, H.D.D. Coolers and System Blowers. Computers having a quick increase temperature need a good heat dissipation, and the air cool method adopted in the past habitually speeds up the fan to increase the air flow. However, such arrangement brings the problemof loud noise while improving the heat dissipation performance. The model of this mini water cooler is only solution such an annoying problem. The mini water cooler can be used individually for heat dissipation of a CPU, a GPU or an HDD as well as the heat dissipation for any combination of the series connection of the CPU, GPU and HDD. Our review sample was a mini water cooler for the CPU only.

News: Cooler Master Hyper 6 cooler reviewed @ MetkuMods
[Apr-21-04] (0 Comments)
Cooler Master have a long history with CPU coolers and they are one of
the pioneering companies that introduced heat pipes to the coolers, such
as HHC-L61. This time we will take a look at their latest innovation, the
Hyper 6 (KHC-V81-U1) that includes six heat pipes. All-copper heatsink
that should offer great cooling power for both Intel P4 and AMD's K8
CPUs.

Spire Skivestream 3 cpu cooler @ Rbmods
[Feb-26-04] (0 Comments)
CPU coolers have enlarged as with the speed of the processors themselves, this is due to the more complex you make a processor and the faster it runs the more power is required therefore more heat is produced. This leads to us now connecting 600-800g behemoths of coolers to our socket lugs, which I why I was suppressed when I saw the spire SkiveStream III as its dimensions are quite small.

Diabolic Minotaur Mid-Tower ATX Case Review @ OCIA
[Jan-11-04] (0 Comments)
You will notice the monster 120mm fan that provides for most of the case’s airflow. There is always a debate over whether negative pressure or positive pressure is better for airflow. I personally prefer negative pressure because it allows cool air to be pulled from any opening in the case. This is not the case with CPU coolers, however, but that is a different story all together. One other thing to point out here is the mechanism above the expansion card slots. This is a hold-down for the expansion cards that replaces the normal screw hold-downs. A very nice feature IMO, as I tend to change out PCI/AGP cards on a regular basis.

Scythe Kamakaze CPU Cooler @ Rbmods

Every overclocker wants a cool processor, we don’t want to have a hot processor as this means less overclock, although the cost of this is a noisy computer? Not necessarily so. I have been running a volcano 7+ with a 80mm delta ‘screamer’ fan, its called the ‘screamer’ for one reason the ridiculous noise that it makes! I have to confess that the fan is only ever at full speed when overclocked and under load, but still the noise when the fan is at half speed can be irritating. Water cooling I hear you cry, nice and quiet but to get the equivalent cooling I need to spend around £100. There is another option the growing breed of ‘quiet’ cpu coolers. Lately more and more quiet coolers have been coming onto the market, even some passive but unfortunately they are no good for more than browsing let alone overclocking and nice low temperatures. Today we are going to be looking at a quiet cooler from ‘Scythe’ called the kamikaze.
