Gelid Solutions Tranquillo

BY: Frostytech.com — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:03:00

We have taken a look at a few products from Gelid Solutions in the past, I was very impressed with the low noise levels of their first heatsink Silent CPU Cooler. Their last heatsink was designed to perform well, but not to compete with some of the larger high-end coolers that enthusiasts normally go after. No because of that Gelid Solutions has released the Tranquillo, a larger heatsink aimed at high performance but still following Gelid's Silent product line. Today we have the chance to put it to the test and see how it performs compared to some of best heatsinks on the market. [LANOC] via [Frostytech.com]

Thermaltake SpinQ VT CPU Cooler Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:03:00

�Today we have the opportunity to look at the Thermaltake SpinQ VT. A little over a year ago reviewed the original SpinQ, which was a 2009 design award winner. The SpinQ VT takes that design and rotates it 90 degrees to stand vertically, hence the name VT. There were some alterations over the original SpinQ which we�ll cover in this review. Read on further to see what they are." [THINKCOMPUTERS] via [Frostytech.com]

Zalman CNPS10X Performa CPU Cooler Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:39:39

�In midsummer of 2009, our friends at Zalman released the CNPS 10X Extreme, a 5-heatpipe 120mm tower cooler with a built-in PWM fan controller. Though it wasn�t terribly different in the realm of tower coolers, it was a radical departure for Zalman, who hadn�t previously had a conventional-styled tower cooler in their lineup. I found the 10X Extreme to be an excellent cooler, easily keeping the extreme heat of the 130 watt LGA 1366 i7 to manageable levels. Zalman has based some other coolers off of the 10X Extreme. Today I will be looking at the Zalman CNPS 10X Performa, a more budget-minde d version of the earlier 10X Extreme, which not only ended up being the best air cooler I cooled the LGA 1366 i7 with, but also the most expensive. Will the Performa live up to the expectations we have for Zalman coolers? Read on to see!" [THINKCOMPUTERS] via [Frostytech.com]

Intel Core i7-980X Six-Core Processor Extreme Edition Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:38:58

"The Intel Core i7-980X Desktop Processor Extreme Edition was found to exceed our exceed our initial expectations, which says a ton. Having six physical processing cores created an amazing user experience when running multi-threaded applications. The enormous growth of HD media content in the home is driving the demand for computer systems that have the horse power to deliver an enjoyable user experience for the consumer. If you have ever tried to create a Blu-ray movie or just tried to transcode some HD movies you know how much time it takes to work on a project and that can be frustrating for those that do it often.

With the new Intel Core i7-980X Processor you can improve productivity, save power and the best part is that it can be a drop-in replacement for those with existing socket LGA1366 motherboard. Anybody that runs multi-thread applications is sure to appreciate a six-core processor..."

COGAGE TRUE Spirit LGA1366 Heatsink Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:33:29

When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was the aluminum-on-copper style of the heatsink. At first glance, it looks like one of those cheap direct-touch units that have become so popular lately. It�s anything but one of those. Other than the color scheme, everything about this heatsink is pure Thermalright, from the mounting hardware, to the bent winglet design, to the Thermalright thermal paste. I will admit I prefer the nickel finish to the two-toned look of this unit. But in the end, I only really care about the unit�s performance. It could be bright pink and have green polka dots; if it performs well I couldn�t care less about how it looks. Now, I�m not saying this is ugly, just not my preference. This coming from a guy who hasn�t purchased an aftermarket CPU cooler other than Thermalright since the Ultra-120 first came out... [OVERCLOCKERS] via [Frostytech.com]

There was a time when AMD reign supreme. The instant underdog when they came to market quickly gained popularity over the Intel Juggernaught; all good things must come to an end. This end came in the form or dual core technology, AMD quickly lost the mass fallowing it once had. For those of you that hung on and continued to be big supports of AMD we have the case for you! Cooler Master took one of their top selling cases and proverbially pimped it out so to speak for anyone who has a love for all things AMD with a little ATI sprinkled on top. I for one was always an AMD fan boy but changes in technology made me change to Intel, we did meet with AMD at CES and they told us good things where coming and they sent us out the AMD Phenom II 965 BE for building a testing rig. So we promptly got in contact with the guys at Cooler Master to get a fully AMD themed rig together. Due to NDA agreements I cannot tell you exactly what AMD has in store but let me tell you it should make you AMD boy happy you stayed a fan through thick and thin.

One of the things the 690 II Advanced has going for it is a lot of versatility. With support for mounting radiators in the top or bottom, SSD mount and an external hard drive dock the 690 II Advanced is ready for almost anything you throw at it. Cooling performance is good with the 3 stock fans and with support for up to a total of 10 you can tailor it to the level you want. Styling might be suggestive but I find the 690 II Advanced to be a great looking case and the black interior brings it all together. [OVERCLOCKERSONLINE] via [Frostytech.com]

Heatsink Advice: What is the Best sub-92mm Tall AMD Heatsink?

BY: Frostytech.com — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 18:45:27

Question: Austin asks; "I was wondering if you all have ever tested the stock AMD cooler provided with processor's such as the AMD Phenom II 955? I'm trying to find the specs (width, height, depth) so I can figure out how much bigger I can go for my small slim case. I've tried measuring with a tape measure and I know the depth is 92mm but that is all I can tell."

Answer: The AMD Phenom II 955 BE is a 125W chip so you want a fairly powerful heatsink. The dimensions of the OEM heatsink (AVC AV-Z7UH40Q001) aren't really the deciding factor, you're limited by the internal dimensions of your slim case, provided there is enough space around the margins of the heatsink so it can comfortably intake and exhaust air.

In other words, any socket AMD heatsink that fits inside the case and is designed for 125W CPU Thermal Design Power (TDP) will be fine. Many low profile heatsinks are made for 85W TDP or 65W TDP, which means they will not properly cool that chip. Looking at the best Low Profile AMD heatsinks (sub-92mm tall) tested on Frostytech, it breaks down like this:

AVC Z7U7414001 - 17.0C (rise over ambient temperature)
Coolermaster GeminII S - 18.3C
Zalman CNPS8700 LED - 19.5C
Thermaltake Venus 12 - 21.7C
CoolJag SFO-Q - 22.2C
Cooljag SFO-H - 23.6C
AVC Z7U3301 - 24.6C
Zalman CNPS7500-Cu LED - 25.0C
Coolage Frozen Orb 2924HDC - 25.3C
Thermaltake DuOrb - 25.6C
OCZ Tempest - 26.0C
Scythe Big Shuriken - 26.2C

All are under 92mm tall, but several may be too wide for slim PC cases (see the individual reviews on Frostytech for details and noise figures). Basically, the stock AMD heatsink is likely the best performing option where this height limitation is considered. The Scythe Big Shuriken is the quietest of the bunch (39.6 dBA).

Arctic Cooling ARCTIC F12 Pro TC Case Fan Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:25:28

�As a single functioned object, the humble case fan has to achieve a fine balance between airflow and noise emissions. The perfect ratio is not only difficult to reach but also varies with the specific user group: silent enthusiasts will require lower fan speeds so less noise is produced whereas the hardcore gamer will want as much cooling potential as possible. Arctic Cooling, the thermal solutions company founded in 2001, are well aware of this fine tuning between performance and noise outputs; indeed their F12 Pro TC (Temperature Controlled) fans use accurate temperature detection to control the fan speed more effectively in order to reduce noise levels at lower temperatures.

Thermalright Venomous X CPU Cooler - Worst Heatsink Ever?

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:22:33

... or is it? Read the review and decide yourself.
"Thermalright needs no introduction in the cooling segment but since they are a new arrival on Vortez, it is important to look at what made Thermalright such a significant player when it comes to cooling performance and why they were/are considered the Kings of this competitive market. Thermalright can be considered pioneers in developing large tower coolers, dating back to the 2002, when they entered the business, as CPUs became progressively more powerful and generating more heat. Thermalright's solutions were the answers to the growing need of performance coolers. It wasn't long before they struck a chord in the enthusiast market, delivering outstanding cooling performance using innovative heat pipes and large heatsink designs.

The Ultima 90, which was soon succeeded by the Thermalright Ultra Extreme marked the brand's dominance and lead over alternative solutions. Many tried to imitate them but most failed, hence why we still see the Thermalright Ultra Extreme being such a popular choice even to this day. Did I mention it was released three years ago? However, this was no reason for Thermalright to rest on its laurels, with brands such as Noctua, Tuniq, Prolimatech etc developing new and more efficient heatsinks. So today we have with us the next iteration of Thermalright's flagship CPU cooler, the Venomous X. As the name instigates, we better be prepared for some striking results."

Noctua NF-S12B FLX Cooling Fan Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 19:51:11

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, Noctua has more than set the standard for why we should buy from overseas. The Austria-based company has released their successor to the original S12 (read our review here), calling it the NF-S12B. Noctua is well known in the market today for their exceptionally quiet fans. I personally have one of their heatsinks and three of their case fans in my PC at this very moment, aside from the one I'll be putting in there to test today. While I'm still not the biggest fan of the colors they choose to use, I'll refrain from commenting too much on that aspect in this particular review. [OCMODSHOP] via [Frostytech.com]
