"The name "Coolink" isn't one that is particularly familiar to
hardware enthusiasts, especially considering it is mostly available
within the European market. Fortunately, name recognition or not, the
company has been manufacturing specialty computer cooling products in
the OEM sector since 1996; well before companies like Thermaltake and
Zalman entered the market in 1999. Not only does Taiwan's Coolink (or,
rather, "Kolink International Corporation") have plenty of experience,
but they are actually 50% of the industry's most highly regarded
company. It turns out that Noctua is actually a joint venture between
Kolink and the Austrian "Rascom Computer Distribution GmbH". With so
much experience and a stable research & development platform, it will
be exciting to see how Coolink's SWiF2 1201 fan performs against
other, common case cooling solutions - both in terms of performance,
noise, and cost. We will also be taking a look at the 120P, marketed
as a silent, but powerful CPU cooling fan. Unlike most fans within its
market segment, it also has the ability to quietly operate at 1700 RPM
- besting the traditional 1200 RPM seen in competing products.
Hopefully, with such interesting technology and an affordable price
point, the two Coolink products will make the grade during our
extensive testing."
