Proper system cooling is a big concern for the high end system builder. One area often overlooked from a
thermal load standpoint is hard disk storage. Today
we will address this issue by taking a look at Vantec's Vortex Hard Drive Cooling System.
Time for something a bit more "our cup of tea" in the way of reviews here. Coolermaster is a well respected manufacturer of cooling, case, and power supply products. Today we showcase one of their heatpipe designs, the Coolermaster HyperTX for S775.
Noctua's a new name on the cooling landscape. We've reviewed Noctua's very quiet fans in the past. Today however we're looking at two quiet and
efficient heatpipes from Noctua. Notably Noctua's NH-U12F
Tower CPU Heatpipe, and the NC-U6 Chipset Heatpipe. How will they
perform? Read on and see for yourself.
Water
cooling has evolved significantly over the years. Back in the day, it
was guys like us milling our own water blocks, scavenging pond
pumps, and cutting out transmission radiators to experience the benefits
of water cooling. While still not a mainstream activity, it has become
far easier with pre-assembled chassis and kits. Today we evaluate a
Do-It-Yourself kit, the Thermaltake Bigwater 745.
It's not everyday that you see someone
get excited about a case fan. Though a necessary component when
building a proper system, case fans hardly engender feelings of
excitement or awe. Having said that, we think you might be interested
in the new fan designs from Noctua. They bring two significant
developments to the world of fan technology that we feel are worth
investigating.
