ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme Cooler
"Words like 'Ultra' and 'Extreme' set forth in a product's name are a bold statement. Given that the manufacturer is ThermalRight, with a rich history of high quality performance oriented coolers, give these words force. Looking to improve on their flagship cooler, the Ultra 120, ThermalRight took their very successful existing design and added in two more heatpipes. In the stroke of a designer's pen, ThermalRight took their four heatpipe Ultra 120 cooler to an entirely new level. Now with six heatpipes, a tower of thin aluminum fins coupled with a high volume/low noise 120mm fan, the Ultra 120 cooler truly looks eXtreme. Today, thanks to Sidewinder Computers we have an opportunity to look at this beast in all its splendor."

ZEROtherm GX815 VGA Cooler
"Hardcore overclockers and gamers do not only have to worry about the temperature of their CPU, but also the temperature of their video cards. Overclocking a video card usually has a much larger impact on game frame rates than overclocking a processor. That said, there is also another point of view when it comes to gaming and has nothing to do with overclocking, many people like to enjoy some casual gaming with their HTPC, or simply in a quiet environment. Buying a high end video card usually leaves these people frustrated, as the “reference” coolers generate a lot of noise in order to keep them cool enough. So aftermarket VGA coolers easily come into mind. Today we will take a look at a VGA cooler from a Korean company, Zerotherm, the GX815. The GX815 boasts not only exceptional performance but low noise as well. Too good to be true? We will soon find out."

Coolage Freezer Orb F0-Z924AL Intel Heatsink Review
"The Coolage Freezer Orb heatsink is designed for Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and as with most heatsinks seeking to banish the stock Intel heatsink from the PC, it comes equipped with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) fan. The 95mm fan spins at speeds of 1000-2800RPM, so under most circumstances this heatsink operates quietly enough to go unnoticed.

If you've been following Frostytech for a while you've recognized that there are quite a few other vendors with nearly identical heatsinks to the Freezer Orb we're testing today. For the most part, this heatsink style manages good to average thermal performance results. The heatsink is comprised of four copper heatpipes extending up from a thin copper base, and many pure aluminum fins. A full copper version of the FO-Z924AL is also in the works, according to Coolage. The Freezer Orb F0-Z924AL heatsink is nice and squat, with the business end of it measuring 42mm tall. The aluminum fins aren't nickel plated, so heatpipe-to-aluminum joints are swaged and not soldered. The four 6mm diameter heatpipes are soldered to the copper base however.

Coolage's Freezer Orb F0-Z924AL heatsink is compatible with socket 775 Intel Pentium and Core 2 Duo CPUs. It retails for somewhere in the region of an estimated $45CDN ($40USD). The heatsink ships with a patch of thermal compound pre-applied to its copper base."

CPU Heatsink Roundup June 2007
"It’s almost summer time and our overclocking and silent PC system will need every bit of extra cooling power they can lay their hands on, so we continue our heatsink testing with the addition of four brand new contenders from coming from Thermalright, TTIC, Evercool and ZEROTherm, as well as retest the popular Thermalright Ultra-120 revision “A” heatsink. To accommodate the target audience of some of the new heatsinks they were tested with silent as well as high performance fans, if you’re looking for extreme cooling by use of conventional air cooling, you’ve come to the right place!"
