In my eyes I believe the Vantec Vortex is the best hard drive cooling solution on the market today. It does a great job and gives peace of mind that ...

Ultimately, save for seriously chilling a coolant to sub-zero temperatures using another refrigerant system or a cascade, there seems little point in buying InertX unless you\'re desperate for peace of ...

All my issues with the KT12 were blown away with the KT03A. Better relative performance, no more tubing hassles and better packaging all combine to sort out the WaterChill experience. ...

It's a gutsy product to release but it's simply too heavy and too badly attached to recommend unless your case sits flat. It needs a revision in terms of fitment, ...

The brilliant mounting mechanism, peerless cooling performance (now unmatched since the Mach II GT is no more) and stylish enclosure allow Asetek to raise the commercial phase-change CPU cooling bar.

It all depends on what you want. Do you want to overclock? Look elsewhere. Do you mind a wee bit of fan noise? Look elsewhere. Do you want is-my-PC-even-switched-on silence? ...

There is no doubt in our minds that the AMD Athlon 64 will take a great leap forward in overclocking circles with the launch of the nForce3 250 chipset. At ...

Undoubtedly better than air cooling but not without its problems, the Asetek WaterChill KT12-L20 comes recommended if you have no fear of stiff pipes, or are willing to change them ...

The Cool Drive 3 is certainly a hard drive cooler to consider if you are concerned about the temperature of your hard disk drive. This is by far one of ...

What the Kamakaze lacks in looks it makes up for in performance. The standard product provides for most needs and is excellent as a high performance cooler and excels as ...

These controllers are by far the best fan controllers I have seen. It\'s an innovative idea by including 2 cold cathode tubes within the kit, to provide a 2 in ...

For those looking to get the most out of a Pentium 4 processor, especially up in the giddy heights of 4GHz operation with a 3.0, 3.2 or 3.2 Extreme Edition, ...

Bottom line - if you're prepared to delve into the art of overclocking, you'll be considerably rewarded with an investment in these Ā£70 wonders.

I'm addicted to phase change now, Asetek will have to prise this unit from my cold, dead, R404a chilled hands. The performance and new ChillControl make VapoChill'ing an attractive proposition ...

How would we summarise our Hydrocool 200 findings ?. We'd say that it's an excellent platform from which to start your watercooling adventure. Decent component selection and integration takes most ...

What attributes should a decent heatsink and fan combination have ?. It should cool well. It should be able to cool well with reasonable voltage load. It should have the ...

The Zalman ZM80A-HP cooler achieves its aims of cooling even the fastest of current GPUs passively. The clever engineering, large dissipation area, and excellent heatpipe ensures that we can run ...

Performance-wise, the Asetek WaterChill didn't disappoint. Even when the radiator's fan was set to 7v via the control system, the performance exhibited toppled that of a premier air-cooling solution. Asetek ...

Are the JIUHB XP1700s the new AXIAs ? (remember them ?). No, they're probably just little bit better in terms of overclockability. We managed a default voltage overclock of close ...

Kudos to Cooler Master for producing high-quality heatsinks at a very affordable price. Sure, there are better coolers out there, but you'd find it difficult to find a better one ...

Over the years Vantec have released some stomping products. They mainly produce cooling devices from system coolers to thermal control systems.

I used to run a self assembled watercooling system and while it was a lot of fun to setup and run, I have to say I enjoyed the simplicity of ...

I really do feel that Asetek have made a concerted attempt to bring refrigerant-based cooling into the mainstream with this new VapoChill design. Once appealing to hardcore enthusiasts only, the ...

Is it better than the MCX478? If you are only cooling a P4 then yes, it will eventually get better than the MCX478 at the very top end. But if ...

Those of us who like to push our equipment to the absolute limit will sometimes go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that we have the highest CPU MHz possible. After ...

I've found it somewhat eye-opening to see just how well the present Northwood P4 will scale. Those that lamented the release of the P4, one with a low work-per-cycle ethos, ...

From scouring various overclocking forums, we have gleaned that the average overclock for a 1.6Ghz Northwood is around 2.3Ghz, one that is usually achieved with a minor increase in voltage. ...

So It seems we need to keep the 137 or higher front (140 is ok but occasional blue screen....) side bus, and go for a bigger multiplier....... But this gives ...

This is hard for me to say but I think the Glaciator has now become \'the daddy\' as the results for it are even better than my original Hedgehog, it ...

If you are going to have the fans drawing air away from the heatsink then yes I think they are a worthwhile investment you may even get better results if ...
