In a world of tower heatsinks the simple way to go about things is to slap a fan on its side and be done with it, then again going with the old way of doing things would have us stuck with a simple slab of aluminum with a few fins carved out of it. Innovation […]

Choosing the proper heatsink to keep your processor’s temperature in check can be something of a chore given the insane number of cooling options available today which wildly range in price and performance. There are some simple rules to follow though mainly the more heatpipes the better and direct contact between the heatpipes and processor […]

Can’t figure out just what sort of cooling you’ll need for your new Intel Core i7 build? Well HardOCP has rounded up four of the newest heatsinks out there and tested them against their overclocked rig of doom. They’ve even…
Air cooling has made quite a few strides over the past two years with features such as direct pipe contact and whacky fin profiles improving performance to levels rivaling more exotic cooling, and expensive, options such as water cooling. Then…
