Frosty Tech -- "Geared towards low noise computers, the Thermalright SI-128SE ships without a fan - but that doesn't mean it's intended to be used in an entirely passive manner. Rather, Thermalright expect you to install your own 120mm fan on the SI-128SE heatsink... call it BYOF. The SI-128SE cooler itself is big, a 120x120mm fin array hovering like SkyCity over a compact base connected via four 8mm diameter heatpipes. The Thermalright SI-128SE's many fins are perforated with lots of little vents, a technique borrowed from Thermalright's HR-series. Accommodating AMD K8 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ and Intel socket 775 processors. Direct Link

Frosty Tech -- The Scythe Ninja Mini SCMNJ-1000 is a compact lower-noise heatsink ideally suited to compact PC chassis. These diminutive PCs have until now not had much in the way to choose from for reduced noise CPU cooling. The Ninja Mini itself looks like a cube, and comes with a small 80mm fan that operates relatively quietly. Among the flurry of 120mm fan packing low noise heatsinks being released, the Scythe Ninja Mini stands just 110mm tall. Direct Link

Pro-Clockers -- Today we are going to take a look at a new offering from Noctua. No it isn’t a huge towering cooler but something that makes these coolers efficient. It's their newest 120mm cooling fan label the NF-P12. And sure you are familiar with their NF-S12 series that we reviewed some time ago. Well, the new series shares the same color scheme, but the difference is in the blades. Direct Link

Virtual-Hideout -- To be perfectly honest, I really thought the iXoft was going to end up like so many other items that are based on great ideas: just a great idea, but not much truth to it... you know, the whole "if it sounds too good to be true" shebang. As you can see from the results in the table above, was I ever wrong! I don't know about you, but I really like the idea of using my laptop - IN my lap - without burning myself. I mean, seriously: would you rather have something almost 104° or 73° against your skin? The last time I checked, 104° is about as hot as the water that comes out of the kitchen sink. Unless you've lost all sense of feeling, 104° is way too hot for anyone to handle against their skin for any more than a second or two. 73° is more like the ocean in Hilo, Hawaii at this time of year. Hmmmm... I don't see much of a choice here Direct Link

Overclock 3D -- The new Scythe Ultra Kaze 120 mm fans promise to move more air flow at low speeds, resulting in a higher static pressure. Today we give them a road test... Direct Link

Dragon Steel Mods -- We've reviewed quite a few fans here at DragonSteelMods lately and today we've got yet another one, but this one is a bit different, it's from Noctua. At first glance the NF-P12 looks like other Noctua fans, but upon closer inspection you'll notice it has what appears to be serrated fan blades. The serrations are called Vortex-Control Notches actually and they help to keep the NF-P12 running quietly and efficiently at all of the available speeds. Direct Link

Frosty Tech -- Coolermaster position the Hyper TX2 heatsink as a "total cooling solution," which is a fancy way to say exhaust airflow is put to use. Behind the Hyper TX2 is a rather large air scoop. It's job is to direct airflow exiting the aluminum fins of the heatsink down towards the MOSFETs, chipsets and other circuitry positioned around the CPU socket on many Intel and AMD motherboards. Direct Link

Frosty Tech -- The new Zerotherm BTF92 "Overclockers Edition" heatsink is a mirror image of the BTF90 that came before it, save for a different fan and the inclusion of a new fan speed controller gadget the company are bundling in now. The Zerotherm BTF92 OC ed. heatsink is compatible with socket 775 Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme and socket 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ AMD Athlon64 processors. Direct Link

Dragon Steel Mods -- Previously on DragonSteelMods…..Kris reviewed the Scythe 120mm Slip Stream Fans. Today, I will be looking at the bigger brother of the Slip Streams, the Ultrakaze fans. With three rpm versions, there is bound to be one Ultra Kaze fan to fit your cooling needs. The Slip Streams scored a perfect 5/5 on Kris' review; let's see if the Ultra Kaze 120mm fans can match that rating. Let's get started….. Direct Link

Hardware Secrets -- Silencer 610 EPS12V is a 610 W power supply from PC Power & Cooling using the traditional PC power supply design with a single 80-mm fan on its rear side. Besides its Spartan looks this unit features active PFC, two video card power connectors for SLI and CrossFire, EPS12V connector and is labeled at 40º C, so the manufacturer guarantees that you will truly get 610 W of power. In fact, this unit came with a testing report generated by a Chroma 8000 machine (probably the most high-end power supply load tester available today), showing that not only this unit can deliver its 610 W but it can peak up to 680 W. As usual, we completely disassembled this power supply to take an in-depth look on its design and components. Direct Link

XS Reviews -- Heatpaste is probably the least interesting part of any PC build, but a very much necessary part. Heatpaste sits between your CPU IHS (Integrated Heat Spreader) and the base of your heatsink, ensuring that the conductivity remains high enough to keep your CPU at a working temperature. For as long as I can remember, Artic Silver has remained the market leader, selling their tubes of silver by the thousands. However, today I have a pair of challengers ready to take AC’s throne. In this review I cover the Noctua attempt; NT-H1 which features instant performance (no curing time) and zero electrical conductivity. Let’s see how it shapes up against the old dog. Direct Link

Frosty Tech -- The Noctua NH-U12P is a slightly refined take on the companies previously successful NH-U12 heatsink. This time around, Noctua bundle in the NF-P12 fan, and it's not your average 120mm vaneaxial fan either. It's flesh tone coloured plastic draws attention away from its three key innovations; SSO bearings, vortex-control notches, and textured leading impeller surfaces. Noctua's NH-U12P heatsink in one of the few models to breakthrough the low noise handicap and actually perform like a high performance heatsink. Direct Link

Frosty Tech -- The Coolermaster Hyper 212 is a 60mm tall heatsink, and it's comprised of just the right mix of copper heatpipes and aluminum cooling fins. I'll save you the trouble of skipping to the end of this review - the Hyper 212 performs within the top 10 best Intel and AMD heatsinks currently in the Frostytech reference list. Each list is nearly a hundred heatsink models long, so that's quite a feat for this 710 gram puppy. The Hyper 212 heatsink supports AMD socket 939/AM2/AM2+ and Intel socket 775 processors.

TweakTown -- In our last test session we made a run with the Thermaltake MaxOrb and found that it performed better than any of the other coolers we have tested thus far. Today we will be taking a look at another Thermaltake product that is sure to rock our testing charts. The Thermaltake V1 places a fan in between two cooling fins to maximize incoming and outgoing air. The box makes some pretty bold statements about the level of performance that the V1 is capable of delivering, and at $60 USD the V1 is in the upper atmosphere of air coolers. Direct Link
