Scythe Kabuto 3 Review

This time we got our hands on the Scythe Kabuto 3, the revised version of Scythes 120mm top blow CPU cooler.

Four of the overall six 6mm heatpipes have been replaced by three 8mm heatpipes, reducing the total number of heatpipes to five. On the next pages we show you how the new Scythe Kabuto 3 performs.

Cryorig C7 Review

Arctic Freezer i32 Review

Arctic – formerly Arctic Cooling – has 15 years of experience in PC cooling. This time we test the brand-new Arctic Freezer i32 from the Swiss company, which looks rather common at first glance. With its angular design and 120mm fan it really does not stand out of the huge mass of CPU coolers. But while testing we could find some traits which really make this cooler to something special. This i32 variant is only suitable for Intel systems, but … Continue reading Arctic Freezer i32 Review

Thermaltake BigTyp Revo Review

Enermax ETS-T40F-BK Review

Today we will test the Enermax ETS-T40F-BK tower cooler on OCinside.de. You find countless CPU coolers, at the moment 310 of 675 total listed models have the so called tower design. This makes it hard for the consumer to choose the right one and for the manufacturer to stand out against others. We will check closely if Enermax achieved that with its model ETS-T40F-BK. In this cryptic label the F stand for fit and the BK for black, we will … Continue reading Enermax ETS-T40F-BK Review
