SilenX Ixtrema IXC-120HA2 Pro Series Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 26/05/2009 @ 8:21
As you can guess from their name, Silenx has built their reputation around quiet PC accessories. Their IXC-120HA2 CPU cooler easily lives up to this reputation by being, well, very quiet. Even with its modest fan speeds, this cooler did an excellent job of cooling the Q6600 during testing. That is, until I added some voltage and clock cycles. When your packaging boldly states, “designed for ...
Xigmatek S983 Nepartak | Posted on: 26/05/2009 @ 5:56
The Xigmatek S983 Nepartak CPU cooler that offers Heatpipe Direct Touch (HDT) technology in a small form 92mm fan setup. We\'ve seen the big boy Xigmatek coolers rule the roost in our extensive 1366 air cooler testing so far, so it will be interesting to see if they can continue the winning streak with a decidedly smaller product, especially on a highly overclock Core i7 monster.

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 | Posted on: 25/05/2009 @ 11:45
The introduction of the latest X58 and i7 platform has meant that a whole new mounting mechanism for the LGA1366 socket has been developed. The influx of coolers is now extremely vast with the predominate theme of the coolers featuring aluminium fin stacks and U-shaped heat pipes. One such design that has had great success is the Noctua NH-U12P; instead of redesigning a whole new cooler for the ...

Cooler Master HAF 922 | Posted on: 24/05/2009 @ 10:30
The Cooler Master HAF 922 is not just a smaller version of the very cool looking 932. It manages to improve things in many areas, to look even cooler, be even more affordable and possibly strike more fear and awe into your opponent at that next LAN party.

Hiyatek HY-CF-6288-1 Laptop Cooler | Posted on: 22/05/2009 @ 13:40
We have seen many laptop coolers here at Bigbruin.com, and this would be the fourth from Hiyatek. Most of them operate in near silence, which is a bonus. That being said, the fan on this one doesn't seem to be doing anything useful as the drop in temperatures experienced with the HY-CF-6288-1 could be recreated just by using a wire rack we had lying around.
Cooler Master Hyper N520 | Posted on: 22/05/2009 @ 9:36
Coolers from Cooler Master Hyper product lineup have never disappointed us. Bottom line is: any cooler from this lineup always is best buy. One more characteristics of these models is simple and functional design without too much fiddling with bells and whistles. On the contrary, only “battle hardened†and well known solutions were used that always provide good results.

Today, we take a look at another high-end cooler for Intel\'s latest architecture, in the form of ASUS\' Triton 88 part. Can it impress us in terms of its design and performance?

Titan Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ CPU Cooler | Posted on: 17/05/2009 @ 10:40
It doesn't look like the giant mythical wolf of legend which shares its name, but Titan's Fenrir CPU cooler is ferocious in its own way - at cooling CPUs and what's more, it's compatible with LGA775, LGA1366 and Socket AM2+ straight out of the box.

Noctua are considered a top brand when it comes to the cooling department.

NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller | Posted on: 11/05/2009 @ 12:00
The NZXT Sentry LX fan controller is a capable device that makes controlling and monitoring up to five fans and temperatures rather convenient. The display is well laid out and easy to read (from the right angles), and taking control of each fan is quite simple. While it made a very good overall impression, there are a few things that could use some refinement.
Thermaltake V1AX - 1366 | Posted on: 11/05/2009 @ 5:38
The Thermaltake V1AX is a Core i7-compatible cooler that appears to be an evolution of the V14 Pro. Thermaltake has a reputation for being able to \"cool all your life\", so it will be interesting to see how true that is with the V1AX. We know that the Core i7 chips can produce a tremendous amount of heat when highly overclocked, so we\'ll do exactly that and see how this cooler fares.

Cooler Master is back with its latest case, the Scout. With unusual features like an in-built reinforced carry handle and peripheral security, it's built for LAN parties, but is it a quality case into the bargain? We find out.

Thermolab Baram Heatpipe CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 01/05/2009 @ 6:17
ThermoLab\'s Baram CPU cooler represents the company\'s first foray into the performance cooling arena, and they\'ve done a good job. The fit and finish is excellent and the design is fundamentally sound. Cooling performance is also very good, until the voltage is raised anyway. Even then, it\'s much better than the OEM cooler but falls a bit behind most of the other coolers in the comparison.
