DC-DC converters, independent stabilization, synchronous transformers and synchronous rectifiers, over 90% efficiency factor – please meet new high-end power supplies: Antec Signature, Enermax Revolution 85+ and Seasonic M12D.
After a month of hard work and numerous experiments on a new unique testbed we are proud to offer you a roundup including 57 models of fans from 25 different product series collected from all over the world.
This investigation will not only discuss the new equipment we are going to use from now on for quick, easy and detailed power consumption analysis of complete computer systems and individual components. We are also going to talk about a few typical system configurations and try to determine what power supply will be sufficient for them.
We would like to introduce to you four new coolers from the mainstream price range. It turns out that efficient cooling doesn’t have to be expensive and gigantic in size. But, if you want to find out more you will have to check out the roundup!
Today we are going to talk about a CPU cooler that boasts a pretty rare combination of stylish looks and superb cooling efficiency. Read our review for details!
Don’t worry, our site is not changing its direction towards Hollywood movie reviews. These are just the cool names XIGMATEK has given to its cooling systems. Today we are going to find out if the new coolers justify their names, how efficient they are and how they compare against the competition.
Cooling solutions of that size equipped with 3 fans at a time are pretty rare even for CPUs. But today we are going to talk about a cooler like that designed for a … graphics card! Read more about the VGA solution from Arctic Cooling in our new review.
They say that if something is cheap, then it must be of poor quality. However, this statement is not always true and the new CoolIT Domino liquid-cooling system is living proof of that. Read more in our new review!
The M.A.P.S. technology used for the first time in Scythe Mugen 2 cooler was again implemented in the new solution from the Japanese manufacturer. Was this implementation a success or not? Let’s find out from our en review!
Don’t worry, our today’s article is not going to talk about the role of ancient weaponry in myths and legends. It is just that XIGMATEK chose a name like that for their new cooler. Well, let’s see how interesting and effective the new cooling solutions turned out.
Today we will talk about two power supply units of gigantic capacity: Xigmatek "No Rules Power" NRP-HC1501 and Thermaltake Toughpower 1500A W0171.
In our today’s roundup we would like to talk about power supply units from Chieftec. We will discuss the features and performance of 10 models ranging from 400W to 1200W.
We are going to introduce to you a new cooler from Prolimatech and talk about the best cooling solutions and their performance on Intel Core i7 platform. Read our review including twelve products from Cooler Master, Noctua, Prolimatech, Scythe, ThermoLab, Thermalright, Thermaltake and Zalman.
Cooling solutions often surprise testers. Sometimes, the surprise is a pleasant one, sometimes not. Today we are going to tell you about a solution like that. Learn from our today’s review what sort of surprise it brought us!
Today we are going to talk about a new cooling solution from Thermalright designed for HTPC systems. However, it turned out quite fit not only for this type of systems. Read more in our review!
You may often come across a cooler with very impressive features that will not prove too efficient and doesn’t justify its price. But, luckily, it is also quite often that things are the other way around: not very sophisticated coolers demonstrate surprising results. Today we are about to experience a surprise like that.
Today we are going to check out a relatively inexpensive cooling solution that is a great candidate for leadership in its class. Read our article for more details.
We have never tested anything like Cooler Master V10 before. It has three heatsinks, two 120-mm fans and a Peltier module. All this together with large size, heavy weight and high price makes this new cooling solution a serious candidate for the world’s most efficient cooler title.
These two new CPU coolers boast very unique and original looks. But how efficient they are in terms of processor cooling and how noisily they actually operate? Let’s finds out from our new review!
The cooler we are going to talk about today seems to be an explosive combination of the latest technologies, as it in fact uses all the best innovative ideas of our times. Let’s find out how efficient this solution is and how far ahead it will get past one of the current super coolers.
