Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.C

Posted by: editor on: 18.04.2012 10:17:56 [ 0 comment(s) ]

Quote: "Over the years I have had many CPU coolers go through my hands some good, some not so good, some so flimsy just installing them almost destroyed them, some so bulky and heavy I had to make a prop to prevent one snapping a board."

Thermaltake Massive23 GT

Posted by: editor on: 05.04.2012 09:51:32 [ 0 comment(s) ]

Quote: " Although laptop technology has improved dramatically over the last decade heat continues to be a problem for many laptops to cope with. Heat build-up in a laptop (as in any device) Can degrade both performance of the device and longevity of its components, and in laptops and notebook form factors can seriously effect battery life and processor and GPU capabilities degrading speed of operation and physically damaging components."

Noctua NF-N12 PWM 120mm fan

Quote: "Fans may not be the most exciting component in your new PC, however they do make a lot of difference in terms of performance, noise and enjoyability – it’s hard to enjoy a film (or game) if all you can hear is the whirling of wind turbines, when the film (or game) in question has nothing to do with planes"

Larkooler KU3-241 WaterCooling Kit

Posted by: editor on: 30.06.2011 01:42:50 [ 0 comment(s) ]

Today I will be reviewing the Larkooler KU3-241 ‘Extreme Performance G1/4" Liquid Cooling Kit’. I have never heard of GBU or Larkooler before, so we are in unchartered waters with this new water cooling kit. I have dabbled with water-cooling before, primarily working with Swiftech components, so I know what to expect from the big names – let’s see how this new contender fares.

Titan Hati CPU Cooler

Posted by: editor on: 25.05.2011 02:52:14 [ 0 comment(s) ]

Quote: "Titan have been “on the scene” for quite a few years now. Before introducing their Fenrir heatsink cooler, people hadn’t really heard of Titan, however that first cooler proved to be very very good! As such, I have high expectations for their latest cooler – the Titan Hati. It is smaller than the Fenrir, but Titan has more experience and research now, so who knows, it could be the next Fenrir?"
