Cooling

In our latest cooler review, we take a look at the Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED cooler. Is it the best value air cooler on the market? Read the review now!

It’s great to see as expected thermal performance from the GELID Rev. 5 Tranquillo as it does exactly what it says on the box, a no-frills cooler that offers 150w TDP of cooling performance! Remember though, that being said, an overclocked CPU often has a lot more than the stock TDP listed on the websites, with our Intel i5 13600k having a max boost TDP of 181w, at 100% fan speed then, the cooler outdid itself and managed to cool it, at a couple of degrees below TJ max. So anything below an Intel 13600k and this cooler will do you just fine!

Thermaltake have sent me the C240 DDC Hard Tube Liquid Cooling Kit, typically such loops are purchased in parts rather than kit form and this aims to simplify the buying process by including a set of parts that are compatible yet flexible enough to suit a multitude of builds.

NZXT have released their new range of updated Kraken coolers, complete with new RGB optioned set into an infinity mirror, We look at the Kraken X42 to see if it's all show and no substance.

In the test rig today I have three Speedlink MYX RGB LED fans, arriving as a dual fan kit, with an extension fan separate, lets see how they perform.
