[Frostytech.com] “Even though ZEROtherm doesnt have a long history of enthusiast products, their quality has impressed me thus far. The Hurricane HC92 won an award in our Mega 9-way VGA cooler roundup back in April. And their latest product, the ZEN FZ 120 proved to be a great performer with the added benefit of costing less than enthusiast CPU coolers. Today we will be looking at ZEROtherms flagship cooler; the Nirvana NV120 Premium. The Nirvana has a small price premium over the ZEN; around 10 Dollars here in the States. Newegg currently lists the ZEN with a 10 Dollar mail-in rebate which negates the price difference. It will be interesting to see if and how much better the Premium cooler performs compared to the newer ZEN 120 that we reviewed last month.”
Thermalright IFX-14 CPU Cooler
Thermalright IFX-14 CPU Cooler
[Frostytech.com] This is just what Thermalright did with the IFX-14. The cooler consists of twin towers linked by a set of heat pipes. Now I am not going to give you all the features here in the introduction. But I will tell you the cooler does come with a little surprise. Something that no other cooler comes with. If you want to know what it is then you will have to continue reading.

Noctua NH-U9B, Thermalright Ultima-90I and Zalman CNPS9300 AT
[Frostytech.com] Today we are going to talk about three cooling solutions that might of interest to those who care most about the size of their CPU cooler, but do not care about the price. We will review solutions from Noctua, Thermalright and Zalman.
Noctua NH-U12P Heatpipe CPU Cooler
Noctua has always fascinated me with their cooling solutions. They take the concept of product refinement to a new level, and often times simply tweak key areas of an existing design rather than reinventing the wheel. A perfect example of their research and development is found in the NH-U12P CPU cooler. This new product replaces their older NH-U12F model, and now features a NF-P12 cooling fan. Through the use of four heat-pipe rods configured in a U design, the NH-U12P borrows from the well-established performance record of many top-level coolers. Additionally, Noctua emphasises the complete experience beyond simply cooling the processor, and optimizes their products to operate with very low noise levels.

[Frostytech.com] In this review we will try to find out if the Tuniq Tower 120, the version without the 120mm cooler with LEDs, is indeed very efficient in even the worst conditions, like summer heat and pretty small case.

Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer Review
Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer Review
[Frostytech.com] “You can see all manner of designs and technology these days on CPU coolers ranging from the weird and wonderful, to the more conservative and stylish. But it is the technologies behind the cooling that matters the most to any hardware enthusiast. One technology that has offered impressive performance in the past is the HDT design, where the heatpipes actually touch the CPU. This should deliver greater and faster dissipation due to increased contact between the heat transport components, in this case the heatpipes and the core. One product that has this tech and wishes to use it to create some hopefully great results, is the Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer. Lets take this one for a spin and see how its does. ”
