• Asetek WaterChill Water Cooling Kit   [Review, monster-hardware]
  Welcome again from the labs at Monster-Hardware, where we will be taking a look at Asetek’s WaterChill complete water cooling kit. Asetek has manufactured water cooling components for some time, and in this kit, they have combined the equipment necessary to water cool your CPU, motherboard chipset, and video card. In this review, you will see LOTS and LOTS of pictures; there are several reasons that this review will be a bit more picture intensive than in reviews past that I have performed. First, I really want to show off the quality components in this kit. Secondly, when you go putting liquids inside your computer, there are some fine points for which you need to pay attention to, maybe a bit more than normal. And finally, I made some minor mistakes along the way that may save you a bit of grief in YOUR project. But hey, we’re here to learn, aren’t we? :-D

• Gigabyte 3D Cooler-Ultra (GH-PCU31-VG)   [Review, nextgenelectronics]
  Giga-Byte has a great reputation in the tech industry for producing top of the line products that deliver on the promise of quality, but at a price we all can afford. We checked out the 3D Cooler-Pro (GH-PCU21-VG) a couple of weeks ago, and were very pleased to see the next level up in this series of products - the 3D Cooler-Ultra (GH-PCU31-VG).

• T.I.T.I. Dr. Thermal TI-A8641L   [Review, Overclockercafe]
  Cooling isn't always about having a two pound heatsink capable of keeping the engines on the space shuttle cool. While there are fantastic cooling solutions available, typically you have to pay dearly for them. More often than we appreciate, we need an inexpensive cooler for a OEM processor. Say you are building a system for a relative; are you going to give grandma a $60 copper heatpipe cooler with a dustbuster-ish fan or are you going to put together a stable and quiet system for her? Thermal Integration offers a range of cooling solutions. One of these that we have today, is aimed squarely at the AMD OEM replacement cooler market. It is the TI-A8641-L hybrid cooler. Let's start off with some specs then take a look see.

• Cooler Master Jet 7+ Socket A Cooler   [Review, Hardcoreware]
  Coolermaster has always been one of the more reputable names in the computer cooling industry. Heck their name just screams high quality cooling. Today we'll be looking at their Jet 7+ CPU cooler which features among other things a very cool looking Jet blower fan. Coolermaster first introduced this new style of blower fan to mixed reviews with their Aero 7 cooler. I remember thinking originally how cool it would've looked with a jet engine design. Well, Coolermaster read my mind on this one when they released their new Jet 7+.

• Asetek WaterChill KT12-L20   [Review, Hexus]
  The course of this review has been an interesting one. With my high praise for Asetek's VapoChill XE system, taking a peek at their water cooling hardware was an attractive proposition. There's always that strange curiosity to see if a company can execute well across their entire product range, to check that any perceived success isn't isolated to one product that they sell.

• DangerDen Maze4 Athlon 64   [Review, ipKonfig]
  As we have noted in the past, DangerDen waterblocks combine high performance with exceptional design. We have reviewed quite a few of these waterblocks, and found each and every one to perform beyond expectations. Performance, of course, is good, but DangerDen also firmly believes that 'flows' from consistent quality.

• Thermal Paste Showdown   [Roundup, ThatHertz]
  "While the choice for heatsink is usually one of the top priorities on any overclockers list, often forgotten is the thermal paste to go with it. Now, while you don't *need* thermal paste, it can dramatically decrease temperatures, this, combined with a efficient heatsink and fan gives you the ultimate result, a cooler and more stable processor."

• Zalman CNPS 7000-Cu Heatsink Review   [Review, ThatHertz]
  "Overclocking is becoming more and more popular, and with that comes the need for adequate cooling, some people switch to liquid cooling or even phase changing technology, however for those of us who prefer air cooling or simply don't have the $600 to shell out for phase changing technology, the selection of products is vast. We are looking at one Zalmans top heatsinks"

• Asetek's Waterchill   [Review, AMDZone]
  Water cooling is no longer the product of insane computer plumbers, it is slowly entering mainstream enthusiast use. Whether you are looking to overclock your system, or just decrease the noise pollution in your room, water cooling allows you to do both in an increasingly easy way. With water cooling kits, the average DIY user can cut some tubes, screw on a water block, and fill a system within an hour, usually without even a single trip to the hardware store. Unfortunately most kits have focused on ease of use instead of power, but slowly the two are making appropriate compromises to bring more choices to the consumer. Asetek has carefully analyzed the problem, and come up with an impressive water cooling kit that aims to raise the bar a notch higher on water cooling kits. Asetek named there first venture into water cooling Waterchill. It has already achieved numerous awards, but does it live up to its hype or just another well marketed plumbing disaster?

• 5 Block Water-Block Shootout   [Roundup, Monster-Hardware]
  You must be asking “What is this review about?” well…I managed to pull together some really diverse groups in order to give you some wide range of reviews all rolled up into one. Now this shootout is not about how absolutely well these blocks work or how well they overclock but how they compare to each other on a level playing field and what I think of them. This way I can milk the really neat blocks for more material later ;-) !

• Thermaltake Hardcano 11   [Review, ExplosiveLabs]
  These days hard drives are big in size and can get quite hot(especially when used during heavy use like video editing), the hotter it is the less efficient it may be working and the life of the drive may decrease over time. Hard drive coolers arrived to combat this problem, over time these coolers matured in their design and functionality, no longer do we have just a brace(that holds the fan) which is stuck on the drive anymore. Enter Thermaltake, a company synonymous with the community as being a top of the line producers of quality power supplies, CPU Coolers, towers and hard drive coolers have introduced their new Hardcano 11 Hard Drive cooling product.

• Aerocool UV LED Case Fan   [Review, Bjorn3d]
  Aerocool has only been in the business since 2001, but they have plenty of cool, or Aerocool (just a little poke at their marketing slogan "Be cool! Be Aerocool!"), products to offer the modding community. Aerocool offers products ranging from PSUs with windows and acrylic cases to case fans and electroluminescent cable. Today, I'm taking a look at one of their latest case fans. It's a quad UV LED fan with UV sensitive frames and blades.

• NorthPole vs. ZM-NB47J   [Review, bit-tech]  
  40mm fans are the bane of my life, I'm not sure what their life expectancy should be, but if my experience is anything to go by the answer is around a quarter of a year. If your northbridge cooler, like mine, is making far more noise than it should because its fan bearings are failing, or perhaps it's given up all together, then you'll be looking to replace it. In this here review I'm going to be looking at two such replacement northbridge coolers, a passive solution from Zalman and an active solution from Microcool. On with the show...

• PolarFLO CPU Water-Block   [Review, CoolTechZone]
  PolarFLO is rather new in the enthusiast cooling market, if compared to Thermaltake or CoolerMaster. So, PolarFLO is definitely not a cooling giant manufacturer that has the ability to hire manufacturing staff, marketing team, or technical support but that doesn’t mean that they don’t have a bright future or their products aren’t worthwhile to purchase. In fact, after looking at their products, the first thing that caught our eye was the finishing done on their water-blocks. We have not seen such fine finishing even from experienced heatsink manufacturers.

• Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu HSF   [Review, CoolTechZone]
  Zalman has been a long time favorite of ours. We have been using Zalman products for quite sometime and they have never disappointed us. Zalman is mainly known for their large but effective, copper-built heatsinks. Little while ago, Zalman introduced their new batch of silent heatsinks that supposedly perform just as well as some of the loud heatsinks in the market. This way they are tackling both the enthusiast and the average consumer market.

• Cooler Master Jet7    TheTechLounge]
  To my surprise, it appears that Cooler Master has built what I assume to be the successor to it’s famous aero line of coolers. Building upon its great success of the aero 7+ with its blower technology, Cooler Master has produced what appears to be an Aero 7 with style. I am all for style, but we will have to see if this new stylized cooler can compete with its older, proven counterpart.

• Swiftech H20-8501 Series Liquid Cooling Kit   [Review, ipKonfig]
  Swiftech, as most know, has a great market reputation for liquid cooling gear. It features its famous water blocks, which seem to come out every few months. So it's no surprise to see something new now from the SwiftGuys. The 8501 cooling kit offers a few enhancements, especially for the enthusiast who loves to heat up the cooling--like dual radiator hookup. This isn't your normal cooling kit from Swiftech, but the same high quality liquid cooling blocks are always supplied. We're also using this kit on the Chaintech ZNF2-159 Zenith motherboard with the cookin' AMD Athlon 64 processor. Did the kit provide for us?
