Vantec FCE-6030D Heatsink Review
May 20, 2001 - Frosty No.692 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
We found it interesting to note that with this heatsink a high aspect ratio fin design was implemented. In the past
we've only ever seen this type of fin density on TEC-specific coolers.

Neng Tyi SN03 Copper Heatsink Review
May 15, 2001 - Frosty No.688 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
At a listed weight of 666 grams you have wonder if black magic wasn't involved in the creation of this devilishly heavy copper heatsink from Neng Tyi.

May 05, 2001 - Frosty No.677 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

get itself into controversy.

Globalwin CPS25603-16 Heatsink Review
Apr 30, 2001 - Frosty No.670 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
Choosing an OEM class heatsink means you get an inexpensive heatsink with questionable performance characteristics.

Thermaltake DU0462-9 Mini Copper Orb
Apr 29, 2001 - Frosty No.669 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Blizzard S370-L Copper Heatsink Review
Mar 27, 2001 - Frosty No.601 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

be obvious that the entire heatsink is slanted 5 degrees, but if you look
carefully you'll see the tilt.

Twin Turbo Heatsink Review
Mar 17, 2001 - Frosty No.595 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Neng Tyi P365 Lil' Turbine Heatsink Review
Feb 28, 2001 - Frosty No.571 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
One good way to do that is to slap on a massive copper heatsink with a massive Nidec Beta SL fan. At this point the only thing cooler would be to turn off your machine...

Thermaltake Volcano II Review
Feb 26, 2001 - Frosty No.565 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Vantec FCE-62540D Heatsink Review
Feb 15, 2001 - Frosty No.554 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
When we first got this cooler we were a little taken back by the sheer size of it... When we plugged it in we knew by the sound of the fan, that the FCE-62540D meant business.

Ascent AC300-4P Heatsink Review
Feb 05, 2001 - Frosty No.549 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Neng Tyi Subete Doda Review
Jan 31, 2001 - Frosty No.546 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
Neng Tyi may not be on the tip of most hard core cooling fanatics minds' but what it lacks in brand recognition it
makes up for in power... solid copper power!
|
Thermaltake Super Orb Review
Jan 22, 2001 - Frosty No.542 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
Ahh The SuperORB... giant among heatsinks everywhere, round and strange in design, and holder of the best "price vs. performance" title for a heatsink.

Cooler Master CH5-5K12 Heatpipe Heatsink
Jan 11, 2001 - Frosty No.532 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
With out a doubt this has to be the coolest and most deadly looking piece of cooling hardware to ever grace a computers' processor!

Nov 22, 2000 - Frosty No.473 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

overclocking.

Frostytech Cooling Fundamentals: Dusty Computers
Oct 05, 2000 - Frosty No.388 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
Chances are if you've had your computer for more than six months there is some level of dust inside. While dust under the couch may be bad to look at dust in the computer can cause problems.

AOS Non-Silicon Thermal Compound Review
Sep 25, 2000 - Frosty No.378 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
A majot part of every overclockers' toolkit should be a nice assortment of thermal pastes. For most of us, those little packs that come with better heatsinks make up our collection of pastes.

Frostytech Fatty Case Mods
Sep 13, 2000 - Frosty No.365 Category: Cases
What better way to modify the Fatty Case then by drilling it full of big, and I mean big holes. With all those tiny vents it was practically asking for it anyway.

Overclocking with the Frostytech ACPSink
Sep 09, 2000 - Frosty No.360 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks
It's one of a kind design was as of yet unproven, so the time to prove it had arrived. In moments we would bolt the ACPsink onto a 550 Mhz Athlon to see if all the hard work had not been in vain.
|
Frostytech ACPSink
Sep 09, 2000 - Frosty No.359 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

Athlon Overclocking Card
Aug 31, 2000 - Frosty No.352 Category: CPU / Processors
At this time in the AMD
overclocking world, the GFD is beginning to look as old as PC100 RAM (I guess
that's why Mac's have to look so stylish...).

Frostytech CopperPins Heatsink
Jun 28, 2000 - Frosty No.277 Category: Cooling / Heatsinks

RJ-45 Crimpers Review
Jun 23, 2000 - Frosty No.270 Category: Networking
Plastic Ethernet crimpers may be cheap but they don't always work. These metal ones crimp cables fast and perfectly everytime. Which is much better than cheap :)
