Asetek Vapochill Micro Cpu cooler Posted on: 3/25/2008 12:00:00 AM This new Vapchill Micro has been very anticiped by many since this is a part of the Vapochill technology. Asetek has really tried to get into the air cooling market with this product, they have priced it low and they also say that the performance is supposed to be excellent. Because of this we have taken this product and tested it vs the Zalman CNPS9500 Led cpu cooler that we tested before. We have tried both in normal and silent mode as to how this Asetek cooler really can perform. Coolermaster Hyper6+ cpu cooler Posted on: 3/25/2008 12:00:00 AM We will look at a really big heatsink today, we got a nice sample from Coolermaster on their latests Hyper6+ cpu heatsink that works on pretty much all sockets. My first thought on this was that it's big and after opening the package I saw the "monster". You have a universal mounting system as they call it and it fits on several p4 and amd sockets. We will compare it to some other coolers that have performed well in earlier testing and also check out some overclocking results. Evercool Cuw8-715 P4 cooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM It's time to have a look at a cpu cooler from Evercool today. They sent us their Cuw8-715 cooler for a Pentium4.

Thermaltake Tr2-m4 cpu cooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Tonite we are having a look at a weird Thermaltake cooler that Xpcases sent us. This seems to be a copy of Aero series from Coolermaster. We will test it and see how this can perform a Swiftech heatsink. It has a speed regulator so you can run it loud or "quiet". Let's have a closer look. Coolermaster Ultra silent Hyper 48 S775 cooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Today we have something interesting (to me at least) on the test bench. I just converted over to a socket 775 rig and I'm very curious if there are any coolers out there that can cool this thing down. Personally I will run it watercooled soon but in the meanwhile I want to see how this Hyper 48 cooler can perform compared to a stock cooler. Evercool Cuf-715 AMD cpu coooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Today I will have the honor to make another cooler review :) It was awhile back since I did one last but we have a few Evercool coolers here and tonite we are having a look at the CUF-715 cpu cooler for AMD.

Coolermaster Xdream SE Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Really intresting! I reviewed the Xdream cooler from Coolermaster awhile back and today we are looking closer at the second edition of this cooler. As usual some overclocking temperatures and a close look on the cooler :) Spire SkiveStream III Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM 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. Thermaltake Jungle512 Intel socket 775 cooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Today it's time to look at a heatsink at rbmods. It was awhile ago we looked at heatsinks but the one we have today is for the new socket 775 Intel processor. We have looked for a good cooler for this new processor to be able to test overclocking on it. So is this the best we have found thus far? Lets check it out! Scythe Kamakaze CPU Cooler Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM 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. Antarctica Posted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AM Tonite we have a sweet looking waterblock on the test bench. Asetek sent us their new Antarctica waterblock for some testing. We will have this baby running with both a P4 and a AMD rig so stay tuned if you are interested in seeing the result we come up with.

Let's see if this product gets a recomendation from us! Thermalright SLK800U Posted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AM This is the badboy of CPU coolers. We know Alpha and Swiftech but this one is even better... or is it? Well that's what we are looking at tonite. Unfortunately I have neither Swiftech or a Alpha cooler to compare with since they are not willing to sponsor us at the moment... But stay tuned anyways because I have some nice temps for you guys, even under heavy overclocking! Coolermaster Jet7 cpu cooler Posted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AM Today we have the Jet 7 cpu cooler from Coolermaster on the testbench. Today is the day this cooler gets released by Coolermaster so this is relly exciting to be able to review this cooler at the same day. The Jet 7 comes with new looks but still with the same features as the Aero coolers. It has the sam fan features that normal ordinary coolers dont have compared to the Aero series. This is a really exciting cooler with really good looks. Stay tuned now as we get closeup to it.
