Conclusion

It’s certain to say, if you like quality, you’ll like the Asus Axe Square. Starting from this cooler’s package, quality is a factor which quickly springs to mind. The same goes for aesthetics, if you like pretty things, you’ll like this.

Moreover, if you like a quiet CPU Cooler with good performance, you’ll like this product too. It’s one of the quietest coolers I’ve ever tested. Don’t think that the noise level reflects upon the performance though; it still beats the Intel cooler hands down and actually matches the Intel’s idle temperature at load!

What isn’t good though is the installation; it’s annoyingly difficult to install and to uninstall. But for most – who don’t regularly chop and change coolers – this shouldn’t a problem. For those of us that do though, I’d steer clear.

The saying goes; you get what you pay for. This is very true in this product. Priced at £77.99, at QuietPC, it’s not exactly cheap. But for those of us who do have cash to splash, I’d definitely recommend the Asus Axe Square. It’s built to last.

4 out of 5

I’d like to thank QuietPC for providing this product for review.

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.

One of the most innovative products in their catalogue is what’s called the ‘Golf Fan II’. Unlike most case fans, the Golf Fan 2 features a patent golf-ball-like texture on its fins which according to Zaward reduces noise levels by 15% at the same RPM and airflow.
