TITAN, cooler manufacturer from Taiwan, recently revealed a new heatpipe cooler TTC-NC05TZ/NPW, SKALLI, which can support Intel core i5 and i7.The SKALLI keeps on the strengths of his father, Fenrir(TTC-NK85TZ). It possesses two 8 mm heat pipes with the heatpipe direct contacttechnology which increases better heat conductivity by 20%, and maximizes the
overclocking performance up to 130W.

Best of all, SKALLI has a 10cm silent frameless fan and built-in PWM intelligent fan controller that both successfully minimize the operating rumble. For more info, please see official Press Release.

Proljeće nam je stiglo, a s njim i lagani nagovještaj ljetnih vrućina i sparina koje nam se bliže. Mi se znojimo i rashlađujemo na razne načine, a za isto se valja pobrinuti i kada su komponente računala u pitanju, posebice procesori. Premda iz generacije u generaciju tehnološki proces sve više napreduje i komponente se manje zagrijavaju, dodavanjem više jezgri na procesor, kao i cache memorije, glavna procesorska jedinica i dalje je jedan od najvećih grijača unutrašnjosti, te ju je potrebno adekvatno hladiti. Na test smo direktno iz Scythe-a dobili Zipang hladnjak koji već svojom pojavnošću obećava dobro hlađenje, a veliki ventilator osigurava tihi rad. Provjerite u testu kako je prošao.

With the Apache EP-CD901 we have the next Xigmatek CPU cooler in our test lab. The Apache is a good looking little thing that is also very well priced. Because of its compact design there also shouldn’t be any issus with installing it on not so well designed mainboards or small cases.

So, did the V8 get the job done? You bet it did! This latest Cooler Master offering easily tamed the Q6600, doing especially well when the processor was overclocked and overvolted. The V8 outperformed all the coolers in the comparison, although not by much in a couple of cases. Frankly, I expected a bit better performance out of a cooler of this immense size, particularly at full fan speed. But, there’s no question that this is a very good cooling solution. The Cooler Master V8 also has a very distinctive look. I like the innovative use of eight heatpipes, four finned units and a center-mounted fan to maximize performance, but these features also give the V8 an impressive stance and overall look. The red LEDs and embossed hood add just a bit of style into the mix without being overbearing. COOLER MASTER V8 GIANT @ TweakNews

I found the Zalman CNPS9300 AT CPU Cooler to be quite powerful. While it’s not the `sexiest’ as some may like it still does its’ job very well. The low temps, especially the idle ones, are what makes this cooler excellent for cooling. Finding this product for around $45 at many online retailers seems to be a typical price among CPU coolers. If you really don’t care about Blue LED’s or fancy designs, but enjoy low CPU temps I think this would be a great pick for you. ThinkComputers awards the Zalman CNPS9300 AT CPU Cooler a 10 out of 10 score and our Editor’s Choice Award. Read more @ ThinkComputers.
