CPU coolers tend to require quite a bit of airflow in order to work effectively which is a bit of a downer for anyone that enjoys a silent workspace or even a bit of sanity once those high speed fans kick into gear. Big Bruin has gathered six LGA1156 compatible heatsinks which seemingly promise low-noise […]

The cooling landscape seems to change every few months as manufacturers pump out newer and slicker designs which either one-up the competition or carve out a nice little price/performance niche for themselves. HardwareHeaven has a look at four heatsinks from Akasa, Gelid, Noctua, and Spire determining how well they perform at various fan speed levels: […]
Many top-tier heatsinks rely on multiple fans to get added airflow over their fins which usually translates into lower temperatures, it’s one of the many methods manufacturers are using to get even better cooling results. Of course Noctua’s NH-D14 dual fan heatsink goes all out with serrated leading edges on their fins to create air […]
