Many times in the world of CPU cooling, heatsinks look much the same from one to the next. The Grand Kama Cross 2 caught our eye due to its very unique design and we wanted to see if there was more to it than just aesthetics. The design is somewhat reminiscent of V type engine, but let's see if it has any horsepower to back it up.

GLEID is well know for their cooling products. In this review we look at their new
Scythe Kozuti CPU Cooler. The CPU Cooler is equipped with 3 heat pipes, packed with thin
aluminium fins and mounted with a small 80 mm fan. It's a relatively small CPU Cooler,
but it still weighs 250 g. Let us see how it performs.

"The Be Quiet! SilentWings 2 120mm Fan is virtually silent, so it's perfect for a quiet build. The fans blades are ridged, it has a fluid dynamic bearing, rubber mounts & a high quality IC motor controller. So it's been designed from the ground up with performance and low-noise in mind. An outstanding fan!" ~3dGameMan.com

When you're testing PC hardware and electronics like we do there's really nothing better than to get in your test room (or lab as some like to call it) and see that the current ambient temperature is at around 23-25 degrees Celsius if not less. This is also part of the reason as to why i really enjoy and prefer the winter season over the summer one although i know most people feel the exact opposite. Still although winter is almost here that may not be enough to help keep your system cool and so since quite a few of you have requested it we will do our best to bring reviews of some of the most popular custom watercooling kits (aka loops) in the market aimed towards professionals, overclockers, serious gamers and enthusiasts. One such watercooling kit is the latest Raystorm 750 EX280 by XSPC and after almost 3 weeks of serious testing it's finally showing its true colors.

"The kit itself was packed well, with all of the components well padded against harm. All parts were finely machined and without burrs or manufacturing defects of any kind, pointing to a high attention to detail on XSPC's part. And the kit itself included almost everything necessary to get the system up and running with little incident. XSPC even went the extra mile by including the LEDs necessary for back-lit effects and the hardware for hanging the radiator if desired. Performance-wise, the numbers speak for themselves with the XSPC kit able to hold its own against the other high-end cooler offerings."

A new CPU cooler has just been released for those tiny miniITX motherboards which are so popular right now - the Gamerstorm GABRIEL.
Full details about this mini ITX heatsink are posted here. In short, the heatsink is built for HTPC, Mini ITX and MATX computer builds due to its low profile design. The Gamerstorm Gabriel heatsink measures 120X118X60mm including the 20mm thick fan. The CPU cooler consists of a copper base with four copper heatpipes soldered to it and aluminum fins. The full set of heatsink is nickel plated.
The 120mm cooling fan can drive 62CFM at 900-1800RPM.
The Gamerstorm GABRIEL heatsink supports all mainstream Mini ITX built processors including Intel LGA1150/1155/1156 and AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2. Retail price is $40.

"This little heatsink from Zalman is called the CNPS2X and it looks like it should be found on an entry level videocard, motherboard chipset or possibly a miniITX motherboard. It is small. To give an idea of how small, the impeller from a 120mm fan is larger than this entire heatsink."

The steady pace of heatsink development is quite remarkable. What passes for a everyday tower heatsink nowadays would have been considered a server thermal solution just a few years ago! Take for example the Raijintek Ereboss heatsink Frostytech is testing in this review; the Ereboss is a big boxy cooler that stands 159mm tall and looks a little bit like a 4U HP server heatsink on steroids. As you'd expect, Raijintek's Ereboss heatsink is compatible with Intel socket LGA2011/1366/1156/1155/1150/775 Core i3/i5/i7 processors. For AMD users still clinging to hope that their embattled microprocessor will have a come back, the Ereboss heatsink accommodates the complete line up of AMD socket AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2 chips.

Today we are looking at the be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 CPU cooler. The Shadow Rock 2 features 4 x 8mm pipes, and an optimized 120 mm fan with PWM control. It will work with all current Intel and AMD processors. This CPU cooler comes in at a little under the $50 dollar mark, putting it in a price bracket with some very good coolers. Lets see how it compares in our testing.

Corsair®, a worldwide designer of high-performance components for the PC hardware market, today announced the Hydro Series H75 dual-fan 120mm liquid CPU cooler. The easy-to-install H75 provides PC users with quieter and more effective cooling than stock CPU coolers, all in a 120mm footprint that is widely compatible with most PC cases on the market. The Hydro Series H75 will be available in November at a suggested retail price of $84.99 (USD).
The Hydro Series H75 is comprised of a low-profile CPU cooling block connected to a 120mm radiator and fan assembly via kink-resistant rubber tubing. The H75s new cooling block is designed with a micro-fin copper cold plate and a high-quality, ceramic bearing pump that provides reliable, low-noise heat transfer away from the CPU. The slim 25mm thick radiator is surrounded by dual SP120L PWM 120mm fans resulting in design that is quieter and thinner than other dual fan coolers, and more effective at dispersing heat than single fan designs. The H75s fans work with PWM motherboard fan headers, allowing users to control the fan speed and noise levels from their motherboards built-in software or BIOS.
The H75 is a great choice for PC enthusiasts who want the streamlined features of our H60 120mm cooler but desire the additional cooling performance of a dual fan design, said Xavier Lauwaert, Director of Product Marketing at Corsair.
The Hydro Series H75 features a simple, tool-free mounting system and wide Intel and AMD socket compatibility. Like all Hydro Series liquid CPU coolers, the H75 is completely self-contained and does not require filling or maintenance.
Priced at $84.99 MSRP in the United States, the Hydro Series H75 liquid CPU coolers will be available in November from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. The cooler is backed with an industry leading five-year limited warranty and Corsairs excellent customer service and technical support.

"Taiwan-based heatpipe makers have indicated that although they are able to make 0.6mm heatpipes for use in smartphones, smartphone vendors prefer 0.4-0.5mm models and therefore they have cooperated to develop such products.
Smartphones adopting heatpipes for cooling may not become available in the first quarter of 2014 as originally expected.
Currently, most smartphone vendors have adopted graphite cooling solutions for their products due to mature designs and manufacturing. As for pricing, graphite cooling solutions are priced around US$1-2, while ultra-thin heatpipes are priced between US$1.20-2. However, heat dissipation from heatpipes is 13 times more efficient than graphite cooling solutions, despite their low yield rates, the sources noted."

Nearly every good-looking build project has two things in common: great cable management and a good cooling solution. These cooling solutions usually involve multiple fans in multiple locations. One of the easiest ways to ensure a clutter-free setup is by using a fan controller. Thermaltake has been making fan controllers and other cooling solutions for some time now, so I am not surprised to see them with a new model. The Thermaltake Commander F5 aims to offer a cost effective flexible and easy to use fan controller for the masses.
