    Thermalright TRUE Spirit CPU Air Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   November 17, 2011

    The Cogage True Spirit CPU cooler was an instant hit with those wanting maximum degrees per dollar when looking at CPU air cooling a couple short years ago. The True Spirit is back, sans the Cogage branding, now in flying its flag under the beloved Thermalright banner that so many of us are very familiar with.

    Corsair H80 High Perf. Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   August 01, 2011

    Today we are reviewing the Corsair Hydro Series™ H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler. This cooler may look very familiar in that it is a step down from the flagship Corsair H100, but still carries much of the same DNA. Basically the H80 is about $10 less expensive with a lot less radiator to worry about.

    Thermalright HR-02 Macho CPU Air Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   July 26, 2011

    Thermalright is a long time tried and true brand here at [H]. Very rarely have we seen a product from Thermalright that did not deliver a solid product to enthusiasts in one way or another. The new Macho aims to hit the value, quality, and performance segments...all at the same time.

    Corsair H100 Extreme Perf. Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   July 26, 2011

    Corsair comes back to liquid processor cooling with a unit more tuned towards enthusiast needs. Low profile water block and pump unit and a dual length 240mm radiator with two 120mm fans. Let's how well it works when compared to other coolers we already know well.

    Antec KUHLER H2O 920 CPU Water Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   June 23, 2011

    Antec has been getting more serious about its cooling solutions lately and earlier this year Antec introduced its KUHLER 920 model. If you don't need extreme water cooling, these types of coolers are definitely the way to go in terms of noise and ease of installation.

    Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   March 22, 2011

    Corsair's H60 liquid CPU cooler comes to us with different technology than we saw with its H50 and H70 as Corsair has switched up supply sources. Corsair is touting a micro-channel cold plates and a split-flow designed manifolds. But, will it blend?

    Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 CPU Water Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   March 10, 2011

    Easy processor water cooling is getting....well easier, all the time. Antec joins the fray with its very familiar looking self contained unit that is sure to keep the water inside where it belongs. We find out how it performs and if it is worth your hard earned $$$.

    Thermalright Shaman GPU Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   February 03, 2011

    The Thermalright Shaman GPU cooler has now been adapted to take on NVIDIA's GTX 580. We strap it onto the hotter GTX 480 and see if it can handle one of the hottest GPUs of all time while comparing it to the ZALMAN VF3000F.

    ZEROtherm ZT-10D CPU Air Cooler Review

    By Marc Adams   November 18, 2010

    ZEROtherm is back on our review pages touting a CPU air cooler that exceeds expectations in R&D, Design and Production. It says it has a 300 watt capable cooler that is the most optimized for Hexa and Quad-core processors. With more heatpipes than we can shake a stick at, let's see how the ZT-10D actually performs.

    Thermalright Silver Arrow Heatsink and Fan Unit Review

    By Marc Adams   November 03, 2010

    Thermalright's new processor air cooler is surely a no-compromise unit that will not be for everyone, much less every enthusiast. It is bigger than Texas, or Alaska for that matter. The Silver Arrow is destined to be displayed in many a chassis' clear side panel. Does it have what it takes when it comes to performance?

    By Marc Adams   October 21, 2010

    Many of you are familiar with Corsair's water-based cooling systems, but did you know that Corsair has been dabbling in processor air cooling as well? We take a solid look at how Corsair's A70 air cooler stacks up against the big names in cooling.
