TweakNews -- Cooler Master's V10 is impressive in many respects. Size and stature are reassuringly large, but fitment may be an issue for some motherboards and cases. The engineering innovation and design are quite nice, as is the fit and finish. Unfortunately, the high cost and potentially troublesome installation leave something to be desired. Frankly, there are better performing coolers out there that are half the price, easier to install and perform just as well. Direct Link

TweakTown -- ThermoLab has sent us the BARAM CPU cooler for testing. The BARAM is a Korean word which translates to airflow in English. Thermolab has taken great measures with BARAM to impart this cooler with that philosophy. ThermoLab looked at the basic tower style cooler design and came up with solutions to improve on this idea. With that quest, ThermoLab has developed some very innovative concepts which are put into practice with the BARAM. While a lot of this tech is nothing new, very few manufacturers have put it all together in one complete package. The cooler ships from ThermoLab without a fan included. This does two things that benefit the end user in my opinion. First, it allows them to keep manufacturing costs down a bit and they can pass that saving on to their customers. Secondly, it allows the end-user to pick and choose what fan has the best CFM while still staying within satisfactory sound limits, depending on what each individual ear can take. For testing I went average on my fan choice and I’ll explain later why I made that choice. Enough with all this talk, let’s get to the BARAM and see what ThermoLab has come up with this time.

Legit Reviews -- Thermolab was established in 2005, and started by supplying companies with thermal solutions. While doing this they noticed there was a growing need for small PC systems. The server market has several coolers for small systems, but Thermolab noticed there was not much for the SFF PC market, so they developed the Silencer Series coolers. The Silencer Series coolers are low noise, low profile, heatpipe coolers. Now Thermolab has released their first tower cooler, the Baram. Thermolab says on their website, “Baram has a meaning of 'airflow' in Korean, and is the product for a cooling mania who is expecting to have a supreme cooling performance... Direct Link

TweakTown -- As promised, here is the last installment of my three part mini-series of Xigmatek product reviews. The previous two were some of the newer releases from Xigmatek, while this one is a trusted cooler that has made its place on most retail shelves a while back. While the sample is a little late in getting reviewed, we do try to give every cooler their day in the sun. Part three consists of the Xigmatek Achilles S1284C CPU cooler and the optional Crossbow ACK-I7363. The Achilles is an advance of the S1284EE, an already proven design. The main two differences of the Achilles are the nickel plating on the heat-pipes and the orange bladed, white LED fan, both of which add a bit of "flash" to the basic design. With the addition of the Crossbow kit this cooler is now i7 compatible as well, opening Xigmatek up for a bigger market of use. The previously mentioned fan is a 61 CFM version identical to the fan that comes with the Red Scorpion, but this time it cools a four heat-pipe version instead of the RS’s three heat-pipe configuration.

Techgage -- Whether you are looking to add some eye-candy to your machine, or want full control over your cooling system, adding in a robust fan controller isn't a bad idea. One of the best we've seen to date is NZXT's Sentry LX, which we happen to be taking a look at here. It's well-priced, looks good and works well... three things we like to see with any product.

Overclocker Cafe -- We all remember times when a thermal interface pad refused to be neatly removed or when some baked on thermal paste wouldn't come completely up. Aside from wanting your rig neat and trim there is always the issue of damaging the base of a cooler. Copper and aluminum bases on modern coolers are machined to be as flush a surface as possible. Doing the 'razor blade' thing to get stubborn pieces of TIM off is far from recommended. Enter Tuniq's TR-1 Thermal Material Remover. Direct Link

Rbmods -- We have earlier reviewed several Noctua coolers and they have all been top of the line with very low noise. Now that Intel has released their Core i7 cpu´s we got a sample of a cpu cooler that will work with the new socket also so lets see what type of results we can expect. Direct Link

EXTREME Overclocking -- Today we will be looking at a water cooling kit for your processor from CoolIT Systems. The CoolIT Domino A.L.C. is an all-in-one water cooling kit, meaning you don’t have to buy the block, pump and radiator separately. A.L.C. stands for Advanced Liquid Cooling. Read on to see if this kit cools off the competition. Direct Link

Virtual-Hideout -- For better or for worse, OCZ has always been one of the more adventurous companies to service the needs of the enthusiast. While other companies focused solely on producing memory, OCZ had already begun their simple forays into cooling, and power supplies. Today, their lines extend out to a few, slightly more exotic locations, namely pre-built phase change cooling, and even a neural interfacing device. Yet, as with any company that does not specialize in these exploratory fields, OCZ's alternate products remain a niche interest. In this spirit, we're looking at their HydroFlow waterblock - the company's first step towards a performance liquid cooling solution. If OCZ's reputation as a memory manufacturer has anything to do with this little waterblock, then there's plenty in store for us. Let's get wet, intrepid readers. Direct Link

OCIA -- Today, we’re going to have a look at Thermaltake’s latest air cooler, the BigTyp 14Pro. The BigTyp 14Pro is the newest generation of Thermaltake’s legendary Big Typhoon air cooler, which was met with great reactions back in its day. The Big Typhoon’s large footprint and excessive heat-pipes worked as a brute force solution to the problem of a hot processor, and did a great job of it. The BigTyp 14Pro hopes to do the same.

Benchmark Reviews -- Overclockers are always looking for the best CPU cooler made, and Benchmark Reviews has taken a new approach to determining this for them in every Cooling article we publish. Most enthusiasts are already very familiar with the Vendetta 2, TRUE, and HDT-S1283, but the landscape is going to change with the Xigmatek Thor's Hammer S126384 CPU cooler. Benchmark Reviews compares the top coolers using the Yate Loon D12SH-12 and Kaze SlipStream 120 on an overclocked and over-volted Intel Core i7-920 Processor. Direct Link

Legit Reviews -- The Wing 8 uses patented nanoflux bearings inside their fan. Nanoflux bearings use a magnetic design and are able to run friction-free, extremely silent and could last for a very long time. The fan comes with a 5 year warranty, but I think that with the use of this technology it could last much longer. The Wing 8 is also UV responsive. Legit Reviews made a 39-second video showing the blue UV properties of our test fan. It does produce a nice blue color as it advertises on the package... Direct Link

OCModShop -- All Noctua products use their familiar Blue-Brown and beige color palette, keeping in line with their renowned fans. To go with its easily identifiable box is all the necessary information you need, such as sizing charts and package contents, but you can forget about that as you can be damn sure Noctua added all you needed and then some.

DreamWare Computers -- System builders and enthusiasts are quite familiar with what thermal paste is and what it's purpose is also. This paste lies between any heatsink and chip and it purpose is to help conduct the heat away from the chip and over to the heatsink. The result of being exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time means that thermal paste isn't always the easiest thing to remove. Tuniq, a brother company to Sunbeam Tech., have recently released their TR-1; a thermal paste remover aimed at helping to take away all that scrubbing and work out of cleaning off the chips and heatsinks after separating them.
