Core i5 heatsink

Vying for the best of anything means shaving off a bit of time, or in this case CPU temperature, from the current record holders. It’s definitely not for the weak of heart or the unmotivated. The Prolimatech Armageddon CPU Cooler crams in 6 heatpipes and allows for mounting two 140mm fans for plenty of airflow [...]

With the top of the CPU cooling market being decided by a 1C or 2C degree difference there isn’t much in the way of differentiating your product, unless of course you go for the pricing jugular. The Scythe Yasya CPU Cooler hits all of the wonderful feature points with six heatpipes, staggered fins, and a [...]

You’d expect for companies following the same heatsink design features to come up with top of the line products but there’s some magical voodoo at work when it comes to top-end cooling. The Thermaltake FRIO CPU Cooler managed to sneak into the high end of the heatsink market and will likely stay there, at least [...]

Most CPU coolers are symmetrical in one way or another allowing the manufacturer to use simple techniques to stamp out fins without too much added cost. The Cogage Arrow CPU Cooler goes off script a bit with its “arrow-shaped” fins although all the other makings of a high-end cooler are still there. Pro Clockers has [...]

A performance heatsink has to meet certain criteria in order to get people’s attention. They have to look imposing, a quality build is a must, and cramming in as many features as possible will get a cooling fiend’s attention. The Dynatron Genius G950 Heatsink does a good job on all of those points and manages [...]

Tower CPU coolers tend to offer very good performance but when it comes time to cram them into the slimmer dimensions of a HTPC case or other small enclosure makes them an impossibility some times. The Cooler Master Vortex Plus CPU Cooler brings back the old style cooling design while incorporating some newer techniques such [...]

High end CPU coolers tend to go for quite a bit of heat dissipation power so you’re bound to see quite a few heatpipes and plenty of fins to go along with them but the ever increasing trend is towards multi-fan setups to get some real airflow through its fins. Thermaltake’s Frio CPU Cooler possesses [...]

Air cooling has certain limitations due to the amount of surface area and the speed with which heatpipes can dump the heat to the fins attached to them. Thankfully it would seem heatsink manufacturers haven’t hit the limit yet. The Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU cooler manages to cram in 6 heatpipes and a whole lot [...]

You can trace back the high end of the cooling market to precious few companies, most notably Thermalright, who went all-out in their pursuit for performance and well a bit of the design flair what with all of that fancy nickel plating they indulge in. The Thermalright Venomous X CPU Cooler is another attempt at [...]
