Evercool HPK-10025EA Heatpipe Cooler
Now that we are all out from under the watchful eye of the IRS and have successfully cashed our income tax checks, it’s time to put some of that stimulus money back into the economy. I was nice to myself and bought a few creature comforts. A new hi-def, and Xbox 360, and some cushy [...]
Evercool Transformer 4 Heatsink
I don’t know if anyone else here watches ”Ace of Cakes”. It seems like every single one they make is bigger than the last. I’m always sure that they’re going to topple over and cover an entire block with icing. He makes the coolest looking stuff, and his motto is; “Make it bigger, make it badder, make it [...]
Akura 628
Arkura was established in the year 2000 and started producing heatsinks, this particular model is the 628 which supports up to an Athlon XP 2100+. The design of this heatsink resembles that of the Dr Thermal and the Thermoengine. This heatsink is designed for quietness which seems to be a big trend in the heatsink [...]
Coolermaster Hyper TX3 Heatsink Review
Coolermaster has a reputation in the world of hardware cooling. They are well known for their excellent heatsinks and water-cooling devices. I’ve used several of their products over the years and have rarely been disappointed. The old saying goes that you get what you pay for, and with Coolermaster, even if you feel you are [...]
GELID GC-1 High Performance Thermal Compound Review
I remember when I first discovered thermal compound. I had no idea that working on computers could be as messy a job as changing the oil in an old Nissan. My mentor told me, and I quote, “There is no better paste than this right here.” He said this as he handed me a tube of Arctic Silver [...]
Enermax Aeolus CP001 Notebook Cooler Review
Notebook computers tend to get hot. Some are even considered to be “desktop replacements” because of all the advanced hardware thrown into such a small space. With desktop systems, we have the luxury of adding large and advanced heatsinks with fancy LED fans, but laptops pretty much have to rely on the OEM cooling that [...]
GELID Solutions Silent Spirit CPU Heatsink Review
The word heatsink has always been one of those unusual words that doesn’t quite fit what it actually is. Let’s break it down. Heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules and capable of being transmitted through solid and fluid media by conduction, convection or radiation. To sink is [...]
Noctua NH-C12P CPU Heatsink Review
We here at OCMS have reviewed several products from our European pals at Noctua and I was very pleased to hear they contacted me again for some new products up for review this time is the “Noctua NH-C12P” CPU cooler. Ding dong! Oh, Jolly! The frigging mail dude arrived with a nice big package that [...]
Coolink GFXChilla VGA Heatsink Review
I’m always looking for the right balance between proper cooling and noise output. Remember the old cases and cpu coolers you used to get that where so loud it was plain stupid, luckily things have gone a long way and we have abandoned 40/60mm screamer fans (remember the old Deltas? ) but today still I have [...]
Understanding the Red Ring of Death (Xbox 360)
The Xbox 360 has been plagued with problems, seemingly from the first day after its release. While the console undoubtedly has numerous high-tech components hidden within its confines, it also houses the potential for devastating problems. The 3 red light error, affectionately termed the Red Ring of Death, or simply RROD, by gamers, has been [...]
Evercool Formula 2 VGA Cooler
If you are a PC gamer (or computer enthusiast for that matter), then you no doubt are constantly keeping on top of the curve of the latest video cards the industry is pumping out every three months or so. Many of these behemoths use up so much electricity and pump out so much heat that [...]
Zalman CNPS 9500 Heatsink Review
When you think cool, you think of Zalman. Or you think of Prince. Either way you have one Killer Chiller. Today my subject is none other than the Zalman CNPS9500. When you take the classic Zalman flower design and combine it with an ultra-quiet fan, a unique heat pipe array, and a little LED bling, [...]
Evercool Transformer 6 Heatsink Review
You can pick up an Evercool Transformer heatsink right here. If there’s one common hobby among gaming enthusiasts today, it’s case modding. Because hardcore gamers love to LAN together and just like the racing scene, appearance is as important as performance. So what can you slap inside to give your computer that racy edge and [...]
Zerotherm Zen CPU Cooler FZ120 Review
It seems like I’ve gotten a lot of cooling hardware to review since I joined the OCModshop team. Fact is, I’ve only done four. But when I do two in a row I start to get the feeling that my boss is trying to tell me something. My first thought was that perhaps cooling products are hot on [...]
Rosewill RCX-Z4 CPU Heatsink Review
There I was. Standing there in nothing but my underwear. She comes in with a roll of bubble wrap and a box set of the new season of Scrubs. This has nothing to do with this review, I am just really cool like that and my fantasies are awesome. Speaking of cool. It’s time for yet another review on [...]
Noctua NH-U12P Heatsink Review
It seems like everyone and their mother has a heatsink out now. Companies known for their graphics cards, power supply moguls, and case manufacturers have all had their go at making the latest and greatest heatsink. And most of the time, the ugliest. And now someone else wants to put their chilly mark on the [...]
GlacialTech Igloo 5610 CPU Heatsink Review
GlacialTech is known for their light and cool materials. Both the Igloo Silent and PWM are just that, with superior noise reduction. The Silent has a 3-pin connector and the PWM has a 4-pin, meaning that the PWM takes advantage of the newer CPU fan connectors on the latest motherboards, allowing the motherboard itself to [...]
ThermalTake V1-Ultra CPU Heatsink
The Humble Heatsink isn’t so humble anymore. There used to be a time when a heatsink was a bare chunk of aluminum, without any fans, anodized coating, lapped surfaces, or anything resembling the metal beasts in today’s world. The heatsink knows it’s the most important part of your computer system, so manufacturers cater to this prima [...]
Gigabyte 3d Galaxy 2 Liquid Cooling System
I’ve reviewed a number of watercooling kits and blocks and handled even more, but this would be the first time to review / install a full watercooling set, with all from the same brand. When we were contacted by Gigabyte to review one of their kits I was thinking “Oh, hell here comes another bogged-up low-quality kit”, [...]
