The Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME rev.2

The Freezer XTREME is a tower format cooler. Its design is unlike many. Instead of the fan being mounted externally on the heatsink, the fan is clipped into place in the centre of the two ’sinks. This means that rather than pushing air through the heatsink, it’s pulling it through.

Protruding from the top aluminium fin of the cooler are the raw ends of the four copper heatpipes. Many other competitor coolers have caps added to their copper pipes for added style. I don’t know about you, but I actually prefer the raw copper look.

Also from the top of the cooler you can see two gloss plastic tabs. These tabs are at both ends and when pressed, allow for the removal of the fan from the heatsink.

On the sides of the Freezer XTREME is a black plastic ‘X’ – resembling ‘XTREME’. Arctic Cooling has also sneakily added their logo to the centre of this ‘X’ for additional attention.

As you can see, all the fins on the Arctic Cooling Freezer are aluminium. Through all these fins are four copper heatpipes which dissipate heat to the fins.

The copper base of the cooler has an aluminium bracket pre-installed. For both AMD and Intel installations, this bracket is used to secure the mounting bits to.

Arctic Cooling’s favourite paste (MX-2) comes pre-applied to the copper base. This is applied very thin and evenly. Most users will not want to change this.

CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question.

Coolink Lapchilla Laptop Cooler

Laptop technology has advanced greatly over the years with different releases of more powerful and compact systems constantly replacing the top notebooks of the year before. However, improving the performance of laptops usually has the knock on effect of producing more heat and so users will commonly seek advice in order to better cool their laptop. An often used approach to this problem is a Laptop Cooler.

However, most laptop coolers do more than simply draw hot air from your system. Many laptop coolers also have become a key feature in making the experience of using a portable machine at a desk more comfortable overall. Most coolers provide an elevated position for the actual laptop which usually features a sort of incline to the keyboard, thus allowing comfortable angles for typing during the longer sessions at the computer.
