Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler
Gelid Silent Spirit CPU Cooler
“You may not have heard it used before, but gelid can actually be found in a dictionary. The word literally means very cold or icy. How fitting for a company who specializes in PC cooling components to use it as their corporate name. Gelid Solutions originated earlier this year as a Hong Kong based company under Swiss management. They manufacture CPU coolers, fans and other thermal-related computer hardware for gamers and silent enthusiasts. Today they have sent us a product sample for review, the Gelid Silent Spirit.” [OCIA] via [Frostytech.com]
TITAN Cool Idol CPU-Cooler
TITAN presents the Cool Idol (TTC-NK75TZ), a CPU Cooler based on Heatpipes, which should have a good cooler performance since it is huge. Through its six heatpipes, it should be possible for the Cool Idol to give a waste heat of 150 watt. In the following test you can see what the performance of the Titan Cool Idol is like.” [TECHNIC3D] via [Frostytech.com]

This quarterly update to our Best CPU Cooler Performance series will separate the good from the bad.
Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME CPU Cooler
Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME CPU Cooler
“Swiss Engineering, Rolex, Army Knives, Arctic Cooling? All of these companies make a play on their Swiss heritage, but only one can be considered true value. Arctic Cooling has mesmerized with their products released in 2008, starting with their Freezer XTREME line of VGA coolers. Not only were the two samples sent over last year worthy of a rave review, but the price was in some cases half that of lesser performing VGA coolers. Arctic Cooling is back at it with another XTREME product, this time for the CPU. The new Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME is closely linked to the VGA cooler line and design characteristics are shared between the two; mainly a large surface area to dissipate heat. The Xtra large Freezer XTREME uses four heatpipes to channel heat from the processor to a very large area of oversized cooling fins. If you have seen the VGA cooler line, this sounds and looks familiar.” [TWEAKTOWN] via [Frostytech.com]

Cooler Master V8
Cooler Master V8
“After carefully testing the Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler, you can see that it was able to keep about the same temperatures between the overclocked and the stock idle conditions, which let it tie the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme during the stock testing. But, when it was overclocked, it was 2° lower than the Thermalright. Cooler Master has done something right with this cooler, as the temperatures were lower than the previous champion, only by 1°, during the overclocked full load testing, but it was 3° higher during the stock full load testing.” [OVERCLOCKERSCLUB] via [Frostytech.com]
ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX+ Zone Edition Video Card
It used to be that if you wanted to overclock your hardware, you ran the risk of voiding a warranty. Supposing that you dared to accept that risk, your options were still limited by the cooling equipment available to you. So it stands to reason that ZOTAC is making huge strides with their ZONE series, which combines a silent liquid-cooled system to a 55nm GeForce video card. The AMP! Series is already a fan favorite because of the extreme speeds at which they are factory overclocked, and the ZONE series adds to this a dramatically improved water-cooling solution for the best performance with no worries of heat or noise. Benchmark Reviews tests the ZOTAC GeForce 9800 GTX+ ZONE Edition G92 video card against a comprehensive collection of competitors in this article.
