Proprietary components are the bane of anyone who dares to try and repair their own hardware. Nonstandard sizes, lack of labeling or documentation, and unavailable spare parts are all par for the ...

When I hear the name ZEROtherm it immediately takes me back to seeing the images of the "butterfly cooler" all over the net. This copper and red CPU cooler was quite the step away from the "norm" of ...

The dual-tower, dual-fan METAL DT24 CPU coolers are built from the ground up for high-performance cooling. The heatsink includes a total of 6x 6 mm thick heat pipes for quick and efficient heat ...

I would put the fans in PWM mode in the bios, linked to the CPU temp. Then adjust curves as you see fit. For example, my case fans are something along the lines of CPU=<40c Fans=20% CPU=55c Fans=35% ...

After a week with my new build I'm realizing that my fan curve settings are terrible. Bottom PWM fans are mapped to coolant temp, basically linear from 50% duty cycle @ 30 Celsius coolant to 100% duty ...

It took me a while to remember exactly when the last time I did a CPU cooler for Cooler Master was, and I realized it was the Hyper 212. This cooler in the Hyper family has to be, even to this day, ...

This post is a quick sequel of my previous article jam-packed with my personal experiences and observations while I was fiddling with standard 4-wire PC cooling fans. Today I will be talking about the ...

Noctua today released its NH-P1 CPU cooler as well as the optional NF-A12x25 LS-PWM 120 mm fan. Custom-designed for fanless operation the NH-P1 is capable of cooling modern high-end CPUs with low to ...

Proper thermal dissipation is an essential rule for nowadays electronics. The best operating temperature for the electronic components is 25 degrees (standard room temperature). Thermal dissipation in ...

Another common mistake is omitting the rear fan. This fan is one of the most important in the system because it sits in the ...
