BY: Frostytech.com — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 13:05:33

Got Haswell? You might just need a new power supply then. Check out the new Coolermaster V850 - this PSU has FDB fans which are supposed to be extremely cool and quiet. The V-series uses a fully modular cable system and is any colour you want, so long as it's black. Cabling is done with the extra slim flat-ribbon type cables that are so popular with circa 2013 chassis. This makes cable management a breeze and results in nice looking clean builds with the best possible airflow.

Noctua NH-U12DX and NH-U9DX quiet CPU coolers

BY: Frostytech.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 14:54:35

Noctua today presented a new revision of its much acclaimed NH-U12DX and NH-U9DX quiet CPU coolers for Intel Xeon workstations and servers. The new i4 models support LGA2011 (both Square and Narrow ILM), LGA1356 and LGA1366 based Xeon platforms and now come with PWM fans for automatic speed control. Fitted with the professional SecuFirm2� mounting system and bundled with Noctua's industrial-grade NT-H1 thermal compound, the NH-U12DX i4 and NH-U9DX i4 form complete premium quality packages for quietly cooling Xeon based workstations and servers.

"Builders of quiet workstations and servers still have trouble finding quality cooling solutions for Intel's LGA2011 socket with Narrow ILM mounting", explains Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO), "so we've decided to update our DX line of coolers to work with both Square ILM and Narrow ILM based LGA2011 platforms. At the same time, we've added PWM control and switched the U12 version to the new, slimmer layout of the NH-U12S, which not only provides better performance but also ensures easier access to the RAM slots, which was another long time request from our industry partners."

Supporting Intel�s LGA2011 (both Square and Narrow ILM), LGA1356 and LGA1366 Xeon platforms, the SecuFirm2� mounting included with the NH-U12DX i4 and NH-U9DX i4 has been custom designed for system integrators who require both perfect contact pressure and quick, convenient installation.

Both the NF-F12 120mm fan of the NH-U12DX i4 and the two NF-B9 92mm fans of the NH-U9DX i4 now support PWM for fully automatic speed control. In addition, the maximum fan speed can be reduced using the supplied Low-Noise Adaptors for even quieter operation.

Thanks to its slim design with only 45mm fin depth, the NH-U12DX i4 ensures easy access to the RAM slots. When installed parallel to the slots, it will not overhang the memory on LGA1356, LGA1366 and LGA2011 Square ILM even with two fans installed, thus providing full compatibility with tall RAM heatsinks.

While the superior cooling performance of the NH-U12DX i4 makes it ideal for quiet workstation builds, the 125mm height of the NH-U9DX i4 makes it fully compatible with standard 4U server cases.

Pricing and availability The NH-U9DX i4 and NH-U12DX i4 will be available shortly at suggested retail prices of EUR 59.90 / USD 64.90 (NH-U9DX i4) and EUR 69.90 / USD 74.90 (NH-U12DX i4).

Improved NH-L9a low profile heatsink mounting system

BY: Frostytech.com — Sun, 12 May 2013 16:00:00

Noctua today announced the availability of an alternative mounting option for its NH-L9a low profile heatsink. The new option does not make use of a backplate and thus now permits to install the NH-L9a on AMD mainboards that have components in the area at the rear side that is reserved for the backplate in the AMD specifications. The new mounting parts will be provided to NH-L9a users free of charge."The SecuFirm2� mounting system of the NH-L9a complies strictly to the AMD specifications and guarantees 100% compatibility with mainboards that follow these specifications", explains Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "We've been overwhelmed with the great press and customer feedback on this cooler, but unfortunately, some mini-ITX mainboards do not follow the AMD specifications, so the NH-L9a could not be installed on these. We have now designed an alternative mounting option and will provide the new parts to customers who need it free of charge."

Since their introduction in late 2012, Noctua's NH-L9 series low profile coolers have already won more than 100 awards and recommendations from the international press. The NH-L9a's original mounting system uses a backplate as per the AMD specifications in order to assure perfect contact pressure and to prevent the mainboard from being bent. However, this system is incompatible with mainboards such as the ASRock FM2A75M-ITX or FM2A85X-ITX, which do not use a stock backplate and have components on the rear side, inside the area which, according to the AMD specifications, is reserved for the backplate. The new, alternative mounting option makes use of four separate spacers instead of the backplate and thus allows to install the cooler on these mainboards.

Customers can obtain the new mounting parts from Noctua's customer service free of charge after providing a proof of purchase (scan, photo or electronic copy of the invoice) of both a Noctua NH-L9a heatsink and an AMD mainboard that is incompatible with the original mounting system. In addition, the new NM-APS3 spacers will from now on be included within the NH-L9a's scope of delivery, making it compatible with mainboards such as the ASRock FM2A75M-ITX or FM2A85X-ITX out of the box.

Alpenfohn Fohn 120 and 140 WingBoost Fan Reviews

Alpenfohn are a quite reputable German brand known for their high quality enthusiast cooling products and their range of fans is certainly no exception. Alpenfohn boast about the "German Engineering" that goes into their fans and we wonder whether those Germans have what it takes to match up to that Austrian Engineering that Noctua seem to have dominated the enthusiast fan market with. The Alpenfohn Fohn 120 and 140 Wing Boost Fans are high quality pieces of engineering and differ significantly in design from most of the fans you are probably used to seeing.

Noctua NF-A14 140mm fan released

BY: Frostytech.com — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:00:00

Noctua today released a higher speed PWM version of its award-winning NF-A14 140mm fan. Its performance-oriented 1500rpm top speed and comprehensive speed control options make the NF-A14 PWM an elite choice for users who strive to strike a perfect balance between excellent cooling capacity and superb quietness of operation, be it on watercooling radiators, on heatsinks or in case ventilation.

"Our NF-A15 and NF-A14 fans have been very well received by customers and hardware journalists alike", says Mag. Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO), "but we got many requests for a square frame PWM version for use as a case fan and on watercooling radiators. We can now meet this demand with the new NF-A14 PWM."

Introduced in late 2012, Noctua's NF-A15 and NF-A14 140mm fans have already received more than 50 awards and recommendations from leading international hardware websites and magazines. So far, only the round frame NF-A15 was available with PWM support for automatic speed control though. While the NF-A15's round frame is ideal for use on CPU heatsinks, the new NF-A14 PWM now combines PWM support with the A14's square frame that lends itself to use as a case fan or on watercooling radiators.

Like the NF-A14 FLX and ULN models, the new PWM version complies with Noctua's AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard and features sophisticated aerodynamic design measures such as Flow Acceleration Channels. Noctua's custom designed NE-FD1 PWM IC and reference class SSO2 bearings guarantee superb running smoothness and excellent long-term stability. Topped off with modular cabling, a Low-Noise Adaptor and 6 years manufacturer's warranty, the NF-A14 PWM is a premium choice for the highest demands. [NOCTUA] via [Frostytech.com]

Noctua NF-S12A FLX 120mm Cooling Fan Review

"If you�ve ever built your own system you know that you need good fans and one such company that makes them is Noctua as if you�re an enthusiast you know this. If you�re looking for quiet and reliable fans that are on the cutting edge of cooling technology, then you go with Noctua plain and simple. Today for review I have one of the latest fans from Noctua, the NF-S12A FLX, the FLX means Flex or flexible meaning that you can control the fan speed and it gives you three choices 1200rpm, 900rpm or 700rpm depending on what your uses are for the fan. These make a great choice for either CPU air cooling, liquid cooling or even just case cooling. Read on to learn more� " [DRAGONSTEELMODS] via [Frostytech.com]

"Up for review today I�ve got another cooling fan from Noctua, the NF-S12A ULN, and yes the fan is very similar to the FLX one that I just reviewed. The fan looks exactly the same, but the main difference is the speed of it. ULN stands for Ultra Low Noise and the fan runs at 800rpm but can be slowed down to 600rpm. This fan is truly silent, it won�t add any additional noise to your system but, thanks to the design, it still moves a lot of air. If you�re looking for a way to keep your system running as quiet as possible then this is the fan you need�. " [DRAGONSTEELMODS] via [Frostytech.com]

Cooler Master TPC-612 review: cheaper TPC-800 CPU cooler

Late last year Cooler Master surprised friend and foe alike with the TPC-800, a CPU cooler with six heatpipes and a Vertical Vapor Chamber (basically a large, flattened heatpipe). The TPC-800 cooled really well, and combined with the right fan it was very quiet. It made such a good impression we gave the TPC-800 the Hardware.Info Gold Award at the time. It was expensive, however, so now Cooler Master comes with the TPC-612. [HARDWARE] via [Frostytech.com]

Evercool Venti (HPQ 12025) CPU Cooler Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:03:00

While our CPU cooler reviews of late have mainly be concerned with high performance heatsinks, it is still important for us to remember that it is the budget offerings which sell the most and get used the most. That said, today we have a $30 heatsink courtesy of Evercool and it is their brand new Venti (HPQ 12025) CPU cooler. We already brought you the news of this product back in December last year, and promised we would have a review for you. Today, we duly deliver on that promise. On the face of things a $30 heatsink may not be particularly exciting but I think seeing how much performance you can get for such a low cost heatsink is actually pretty exciting - especially when you have cheaper heatsinks punching amongst much more expensive heavy-weights. Let's hope that Evercool's Venti can do exactly that today as we put it through the heat eTeknix heat treatment. For those of you who are interested the outline of the specifications can be found in the below table. If you're looking for extra information then read the above product page or news article, both have a lot of extra information you may find enriching to know before seeing the performance figures.

Cooler Master Seidon 240M Liquid CPU Cooler Review

BY: Frostytech.com — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:02:00

Cooler Master's Seidon 120M impressed us a while back with its solid price to performance ratio, offering similar performance to the competition at a price that was quite a bit lower. The Seidon 240M promises to do a similar thing, although this is very much a "budget" attempt at a premium product - so while the Enermax ELC 240, Corsair H100i and Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme all cost �88, �92 and �105 respectively, the Cooler Master Seidon 240M promises to come to market at around �80 which is about 10-20% cheaper than the competition. Like most 240mm All-In-One products in the market the design is relatively standardised - A pair of standard thickness 120mm PWM fans, a 27mm thick 240mm aluminium radiator, a standard looking pump that is similar to the Asetek core design (as signalled by the fact Asetek are taking Cooler Master to court over it) and some standard length tubing. Cooler Master aren't bringing anything ground-breaking to market here but what they are looking to do is offer the best value for money 240mm AIO unit on the market. [ETEKNIX] via [Frostytech.com]
