Asetek WaterChill Kit

Asetek WaterChill Kit

      Today I’m going to be reviewing the Asetek Waterchill kit from, you guessed it, Asetek Inc. This is the full package with a nice Hydor L30 pump, a heatercore-style radiator, a sturdy acrylic reservoir, CPU, GPU, and Chipset waterblocks. I’m sure any hardcore techie has heard of this company by now. They [...]

Zalman CNPS-7000A-Cu Heatsink Review

Zalman CNPS-7000A-Cu Heatsink Review

Zalman is a name that we’ve all heard by now. They are pretty much the only company producing low-noise yet well performing aftermarket heatsinks with any real success. Their heatsink design secret is pretty simple – HUGE surface area. From the ‘flower’ style heatsinks to the orb-style coolers, and now on to a hybrid of [...]

Abit NF7-S Revision 2 Motherboard

Abit NF7-S Revision 2 Motherboard

Most people know that the original nForce motherboard were pretty disappointing after all the hype had been generated about them.

AOpen AX4PE Max

AOpen AX4PE Max

The Pentium 4 scene has changed several times since the chip was first introduced. Some of these changes caused many users to stray to AMD’s (at the time) more stable architecture, attractive price, and competitive performance. It appears now that the politics over the Pentium 4 have ceased, the architecture matured, and the cost of [...]

OCZ Gladiator 2 Heatsink

OCZ Gladiator 2 Heatsink

OCZ sent over their two newest heatsinks and this is the first that I am reviewing. This heatsink is the Gladiator II which is the predecessor to the original Gladiator which was a great heatsink. I never reviewed the first one but I used it for a long time on many of my system and [...]

EPoX 8K9A2+ Motherboard Review

EPoX 8K9A2+ Motherboard Review

I have always been a fan of EPoX motherboards and have used them a lot because of their stability, features, and overclockability. I reviewed the EPoX 8K3A+ a while back here at OCModShop which used the VIA KT333 chipset. This is the EPoX 8K9A2+ motherboard which uses the KT400 chipset. The VIA KT400 chipset brings [...]

Thermalright Sk-6+

Thermalright Sk-6+

I just did a review on a Thermalright SK-7 and this is the little brother to that heatsink, the Sk-6+. This heatsink is almost identical to the SK-7 and has a lot in common with the SLK-800. The only real difference between the SK-7 and this heatsink is the fact that this heatsink can only [...]

Thermalright SK-7 Heatsink

This is the third Thermalright heatsink I have reviewed and I have one more sitting here waiting for judgement.

Koolance Exos Watercooling Kit

Watercooling is becoming more and more popular everyday. People are wanting to overclock their CPUs as fast as possible and with as little noise as possible.

Koolcase Blue Meany Case

Koolcase Blue Meany Case

I have been seeing more and more cases with acrylic fronts and windows due to the fact that people are tired of the normal beige case and want something cooler. This case looks a lot like both of the Enermax cases that I have reviewed in the past. This case has the same kind of [...]

Zalman 300A-APF PSU

Zalman 300A-APF PSU

Today I look at yet another Zalman product, the Zalman 300A-APF power supply. Zalman is of course dedicated to quiet cooling so a lot of their products try to provide the best cooling at the lowest noise level which I really like. By implementing heat-sensor circuitry that controls the cooling fan’s speed (rpm) in relation [...]

I took a look a the Zalman CNPS6000-Cu heatsink back in April, now we take a look at its little brother, the CNPS6000-AlCu.
