Ultra Fire Socket 775 CPU Cooler [Review, PimpRig]
When looking this heatsink over I noticed a couple of things that the Ultra Fire 775 had in
common with the Intel heatsink. The fin design is the same but with different copper cores. The
Ultra is a bit taller but the overall radius is the same. Intel’s mounting clips are the push
pin and lock type that can have problems if you remove and reuse the pins more than a couple of
times. The strong point for the Intel heatsink is the fan, an 80 mm fan that runs virtually
silent. Unfortunately this is not good enough to run any serious OC. Sat, 05 Nov, 2005 | 4 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Thermaltake Aquabay M3 5.25" Reservoir [Review, PimpRig]
I'm one of those people that likes a reservoir over a T-line, yet I've never really cared for
the thought of a plexiglas reservoir inside my case. Plexi ages, plexi cracks...plexi leaks.
Plexi bad. The latest batch of bay reservoirs to hit the market are constructed of a high
density Polyethylene, a material known for its chemical resistance and durability. Thu, 03 Nov, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Keeping components cool inside your computer is crucial to having good performance. When things get hot, a PCI slot cooler can help the air flow and keep temperatures where they belong.
The Heat Buster from PowerColor is a PCI slot cooler, with a little more to offer. It has the standard exhaust fan, as well as a second, adjustable fan to help facilitate air movement in your case.

Fatal1ty FS-V7 VGA Cooler & Fatal1ty FS-C77 CPU Cooler [Review, PimpRig]
The Fatality line-up has a red theme to it, so Zalman dyed the coolers red and added red LED
fans to them to finish up the Fatal1ty look. The red LEDs are not the only thing Zalman added,
the fans are a little faster for that extra few degrees. We all know cooler temps help for a
more stable system. Fri, 28 Oct, 2005 | 41 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

TITAN Serina [Review, InsaneTek]
Who doesn't own a laptop these days? Your thin notebook with that itty bitty
heatsink is causing your CPU fan to spin at full
speeds. Need better cooling for your laptop? The Serina from TITAN will be a
good candidate. Sat, 22 Oct, 2005 | 3 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

This Thermaltake Blue Orb II has clean lines, look stunning especially when running with its internal LEDs and works very well. What more can you ask from a heatsink. It does what it says it will do. Wed, 19 Oct, 2005 | 8 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Scythe Katana CPU Heatpipe Cooler Review [Review, rojakpot]
The latest cooler from Scythe is a relatively innocuous-looking heatpipe cooler. But beneath that lies a cooler with great potential.
Come and see why the new Scythe Katana heatpipe cooler is a great for both quiet operation as well as maximum cooling! Thu, 13 Oct, 2005 | 15 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Zalman CNPS9500 LED CPU Cooler [Review, PimpRig]
As formidable as the CNPS7700 is, it is unfortunately incompatible with many motherboards
because of it's huge size. The damn thing 5.35 inches across so if it doesn't cover your
memory, it probably will rub up against your video card. The smart guys at Zalman knew they
couldn't increase performance by making their heatsinks any bigger, so they stood the fan up on
end and added 3 heatpipes to the mix. Thu, 13 Oct, 2005 | 15 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Lexcool XC-801 [Review, overclockersonline]
The biggest drawback from the Lexcool XC-801 is the mounting issues
that I ran into but I have a very simple solution to alleviate the pressure
on the motherboard and to make mounting a lot easier....The fan does turn
rather fast and is quite loud at this speed and a fan controller would
really add to the value of this cooler. The cooling abilities of the XC-801
speak for themselves on the previous page and I was quite impressed with the
results. Mon, 10 Oct, 2005 | 5 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Thermaltake Aquabay M2 5.25" Bay Reservoir [Review, PimpRig]
As you can plainly see, even though the bezel is 1U configuration, (1U = 1-5.25" bay) the fan
means you'll need at least two free bays. And if it is going to work well, you'll need clear
space both above and below the radiator for sufficient air movement and above average case
ventilation. So in reality, the M2 Radiator will need 3 or even 4 clear drive bays to function.
A shallow bay device such as many of those in the Hardcano line, which only extend a short
distance inward past the front bezel, would not present a problem mounted directly above the M2
AquaBay. Mon, 10 Oct, 2005 | 14 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Zalman Reserator 1 Plus [Review, CaseModGod]
So you want to water cool your system but you do not want to try
and figure which pump to get, what is the best CPU water block, and what
about hose size? Don't worry Zalman might have what you are looking for in
the Reserator 1 Plus. Everything you need to get into the water cooling
scene is included in this easy to install kit. Fri, 07 Oct, 2005 | 10 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Thermaltake Aquabay M1 [Review, PimpRig]
The AquaBay M1 is actually two previous Thermaltake products skillfully married in a 5.25"
drive bay mount, the CL-W0009 Water Level Indicator and the CL-W0012 Flow Indicator. If you add
up the price of the flow and level indicators when purchased individually as compared to the
M1, the cost savings is about 13 bucks. And you get the drive bay mount on top of that. Tue, 04 Oct, 2005 | 12 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Ultra Fire Heatpipe AMD CPU Cooler [Review, PimpRig]
Not to call Ultra liars but I wanted to see how heavy this heatpipe really was. Ultra has the
heatpipe listed as 535 g, this must have been shipping weight because it weighs less than that
even with the larger clip. For the unit conversion minded ones out there, I included those
pictures as well. Over a pound for a heat sink is still a robust unit. Tue, 04 Oct, 2005 | 14 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Thermalright V-1 [Review, InsaneTek]
The V-1 is Thermalright's first attempt in making a competitive GPU cooler and they have started off in the right direction. Like with many products, the first attempt is never perfect. There are a lot of things that Thermalright has to do and can do to improve and make the V-1 a much more appealing choice. The compatibility issues of the V-1 might be a concern to some, but it does fit with the majority of current enthusiast video cards. My biggest disappointment in the V-1 is the limited space for memory heatsinks. Sun, 25 Sep, 2005 | 16 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Zalman CNPS9500 LED Heatsink Review [Review, FrostyTech]
The Zalman CNPS9500 LED heatsink is compatible with all current AMD and Intel socket formfactors (including Sockets 775, 478, 939, 940, 754), and weighs in at roughly 530grams. The heatsink is voluminous, but designed to operate quietly and cool under low noise, low fan-speed conditions. At full speed, its translucent 92mm diameter fan spins at conservative 2600RPM, but turn down the dial on the FanMate 2 and that speed drops to 1350RPM. Three heatpipes bent into a figure-eight form the backbone of the CNPS9500 LED heatsink, and the rest of the design is simply form following function to a "T."

Asetek VapoChill Micro Showdown [Review, overclockersonline]
As we can see in the testing numbers there is not a huge difference
between the three models and because of this there is no single winner.
Really, they are all winners in certain setups and situations. Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 9 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
