Noctua NF-S12B FLX Cooling Fan Review | Posted on: 27/02/2010 @ 20:40

Generally I'm a big fan of international products. My favorite band is from Finland, my favorite television personality is from Scotland, and my favorite actor is from England. It seems that things made in the USA these days don't really last as long as they used to. Of course, if Toyota keeps things up the way they have been, no one will buy import again. But when it comes to air movement, ...

Prolimatech has now jumped further into the air cooling market, but this time into new territory: VGA cooling. Looking to build upon the success of their CPU heatsink, they\'ve launched the MK-13, an utter beast of a graphics card cooler that is entirely reminiscent of their Megahalems, sporting a ton of fins, heatpipe technology, and a massive size.

Spire TherMax II Cooler Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 24/02/2010 @ 9:17

Although the Spire TherMax II does set out on the right course and follows the basic tower cooler construction, there are some design problems that are hindering the performance when compared to other products on the market today. Now with that being said, this in no way is a bad cooler. In fact, is is a very good option to consider if you are replacing a stock Intel heatsink and for the price, ...

Innovation Cooling | Posted on: 23/02/2010 @ 14:37

What helps a good thermal compound to become a great product? In the younger days of computing one would have automatically have said ‘lower temperatures’ and that would be that. However the industry has matured, as such consumers are demanding more and more applications for their money. For example conductivity is a question; ergo will it conduct an electric current? Next is ...

NOCTUA NF-P14FLX FAN REVIEW | Posted on: 23/02/2010 @ 11:28

Noctua (meaning Little Owl) is a company that has built quite a reputation in recent years. This is due to recent hits such as their increasingly popular CPU heatsinks and later the illustrious NF-P12 120mm fan! Until Noctua came long, if one wished to cool a processor quietly, then traditionally they would have been pointed in the direction of Nexus or Yateloon! Noctua has built their business ...

In today’s world of hot, heated hardware, there is a product for just about every price zone which can either been seen as an advantage or, to many who are inexperienced with the latest tech churning out by many companies, a huge headache.

The LMX Superleggera Cooler Review – New Cooling King? | Posted on: 23/02/2010 @ 11:17

We recall from last year a question that many pondered – just how far can air cooling go? Air cooling can only go so far and it won’t be long until we hit the limit. We’ve already seen some companies take to water cooling solutions with all-in-one kits – some more successful than others. It won’t be long until some of the bigger names start to find new ways to ...

Best CPU Cooler – AM3 Review | Posted on: 23/02/2010 @ 11:15

Overclocking the CPU increases the overall performance of our computers. Of course, there’s always a side effect of overclocking – increased heat output generated by the CPU. A good CPU cooler is becoming just as important as the CPU itself. When you think of CPU cooling on air, many will say it’s not all that great. This is why we have forms of cooling better than ...

This re-imagining of the CM 690 is an excellent case, with a roomy interior, massively upgradable cooling and a nifty roof-mounted hot swap hard disk bay. There's a slight fly in the ointment though, so you'll have to read our review before hopping over to your favourite etailer!

Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 17/02/2010 @ 6:49

Gelid has a worthy product in the Tranquillo, especially for a relatively new company. The Tranquillo easily bests the performance of the OEM cooler while being noticeably quieter, even at full speed. The design doesn\'t provide any board-cooling options though, but is relatively easy to install.

Coolink Corator DS CPU Cooler Review | Posted on: 11/02/2010 @ 11:23

Many believe that the air cooling market is stagnating and that we have reached the peak of what we can achieve with the tower heatsink design. But over the last few months, if we have learnt anything from manufacturers, it\'s that innovation is the driving force to make any break through and the last few weeks have certainly showed that the market is still alive and going strong.

Spire TherMax Pro CPU Cooler Review | Posted on: 08/02/2010 @ 17:51

In the last few years, there seems to have been a definite slow-down in the modification of CPU coolers. Companies are now seeming to follow a standard: aluminium fins, copper heat-pipes and a 120mm fan. And would you blame them? Well as the saying goes ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, so probably not. Today, for review, we have a CPU cooler from a company named ...

Cooler Master Xport 251 | Posted on: 02/02/2010 @ 21:40

The XPort 251 is very compact and goes for the functional, understated design. Cooler Master also goes the extra mile to add a pouch to it, to add further protection for your precious data.
