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.

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 [...]

Coolink GFXChilla VGA Heatsink Review
I’m always looking for the right balance between proper cooling and noise output.

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.

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.

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 [...]
Zalman CNPS 8700 LED Heatsink Review
Zalman has been making some of the most innovative and quiet after-market heatsinks in the computer industry for several years. They have had to keep up with the thermal trends as processors became more powerful over the years, which has had the unfortunate side effect of making their products rather large. One of Zalman’s best [...]
Zalman VF 1000 LED VGA and ZM-RHS888 Heatsink
The power of PC video cards has grown beyond the processors that host them. Today’s graphics processors have more transistors than even the most powerful dual-core CPU, which translates into alot of heat production. Even when the GPU is idle, it can generate massive amouts of thermal waste that must be disposed of via heatsink. [...]

Scythe MINE CPU Cooler Review
In an ever-ending quest to find true silence, I have previously used watercooling, but today fans and cooling solutions have progressed to their its max and aircooling is becoming just as silent. Zalman is a leader in this industry, but there are many other heatsinks that do the job just as well. One of these [...]
How Do Heatpipes Work?

Heat pipes are extensively used in many modern computer systems, where increased power requirements and subsequent increases in heat emission have resulted in greater demands on cooling [...]
