ASUS Triton 88 | Posted on: 20/07/2009 @ 16:09
The release of Intel’s i7 architecture has seen thermal solutions increase in size with more fans, fins and heatpipes in order to try and counter the massive 130W TDP. Many products have tried and failed to really stand out when it comes to working with a Nehalem rig and could simply not keep up with the heat levels produced. Asus have impressed us in the past with their cooling ...

With multiple core CPUs, multi-GPU video graphics sub-systems and hotter than hot mainboard north and southbridge chipsets it becomes necessary for most gaming computers to have more and more fans. With the fans comes noise. Of course there\'s water cooling, but not everyone is capable or even brave enough to give that a try. So what do you do? Well one option is to use a fan speed ...

The V1 AX is one of 8 CPU coolers currently offered by Thermaltake for the Socket 1366 platform, and like many of their coolers it is capable of cooling most modern processors.

Kingwin XT-1264 | Posted on: 07/07/2009 @ 3:34
Kingwin\'s XT-1264 cooler is an example of the notion where a company wishes for us to look at things a bit differently. This cooler employs their Heatpipe Touch Chip (HTC) technology, where heatpipes touch the chip instead of the case. What? That sounds awfully familiar, doesn\'t it? Yes, it\'s the same design as HDT but a different name. The XT-1264 looks rather unassuming and it\'s priced ...

For true CPU cooling performance and silence, air cooling is not thought to be the solution. You need water cooling. It seems a scary concept – cooling your processor with water – which is why many enthusiasts steer clear of the idea. Moreover, it can be costly with an average kit easily topping the £100 mark.
