Antec Axe Square CPU Cooler Review

Introduction

Last week at Tech-Reviews we reviewed Asus’ Silent Knight II CPU cooler; today we have another Asus CPU cooler for review: the Asus Axe Square. As I’m sure you’re fully aware, the computing industry has evolved massively in the last few years. One form of product which has seriously advanced – to keep up with the newer processors – is the CPU cooler. This product has not just developed in terms of cooling the CPU to lower temperatures, it’s also improved in design and not to mention, noise. Today, we have a seriously ‘class’ cooler for review, the Asus Axe Square… shouting royalty all round and kindly donated by QuietPC.

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. However, processors have quickly moved on since July and we’ve got the likes of the Intel Core i7 and recent i5 dominating the market. For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

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.
