An in-depth look at Thermalright's latest—the TRUE Black 120 heatsink. The TRUE Black 120 is a special edition, black nickel plated version of the very popular Ultra 120 eXtreme. Not only has its appearance changed, but it comes bundled with some extras.

Just about every heatsink manufacturer now offers some form of “premium” thermal paste product. What I hope to answer in this article is simple—are there measurable performance differences between premium grade thermal pastes? And if so, how much?

A close look at Thermaltake's new DuOrb and MaxOrb CPU coolers. Mike pits them up against the other 14 coolers we've reviewed to date.

Mike puts two new "Heatpipe Direct Touch" heatsinks through their paces in the Icrontic labs. Two different approaches to the technology will be compared and then ranked against the other eleven heatsinks we've tested to date.

Noctua is back with a down-draft 120mm heatsink dubbed the NH-C12P. Mike puts it through its paces in the Icrontic lab.

Coolink's new low-profile GFXChilla VGA cooler boasts some impressive features and is priced very attractively. Compatible with just about every nVidia and ATI card on the market, we cook it up in the IC labs to see if its performance is as impressive as its price.

Icrontic receives a hands-on look at one of the first retail samples of an OCZ Cryo-Z phase-change CPU cooler.

Mike takes a close look at the very popular TJ09 tower case from SilverStone. Although it was released in 2006, it is still a favorite amongst PC enthusiasts, overclockers and high-end workstation users.

Only three months after the release of the award winning NH-U12P, Noctua is back with a more compact 92mm version, the NH-U9B. Mike puts the NH-U9B through its paces in the Icrontic lab.

Following Icrontic’s epic heatsink roundup last month, two more heatsinks have found their way into the lab. Today, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at Noctua’s brand new NH-U12P and SilverStone’s Nitrogon NT06-Lite.

At first, I was not sure if I wanted to complicate the review with both socket 775 and AM2 results but in the end I am very glad that I did. It is not safe to assume that a heatsink will perform as well on AM2 as it does on 775.

There is a generally accepted rule that for every 10C decrease in temperature, a CPU should be able to increase its operating frequency by about 3%. Of course this math does not always work out terribly well, but simply put: "The colder the better". This is one of the most powerful CPU coolers available on the market: Asetek's Vapochill LS [AC]

Sometimes you just gotta do whatever it takes to get the job done. And when all you have to work with is an old case fan, a food container lid, and some dryer duct.... these are the things that happen. Short-Media.com presents a crude-yet-effective mod for quieting and cooling your laptop.

The Gigabyte G-Power BL is by far the best we've worked with yet.

Gigabyte continues their advance into the arena of PC cooling with the Neon 8-BL.
