The tower format cooler with multi-heatpipes and large fin stacks has been a triumph for thermal solution companies alike far replacing the more traditional top-down cooler. One such company which still believes in the performance of this style of cooler and for its greater compatibility in smaller cases is Noctua. Their cooling solutions have earned them a highly regarded name and one such product that has contributed to this is their NH-C12P CPU cooler featuring a whopping 6 heatpipes and fins emanating directly from the base. Let’s see if the performance can keep up with the newer tower coolers which now dominate the market.

GlacialTech Igloo 5610 Plus Silent CPU Cooler Review
June 3, 2009 – 10:30 am
With the CPU cooling market saturated with very high end coolers that cost anything up to £60 and with the credit crunch still biting, more and more users are looking for a more value-for-money product. One such company that has taken up the mantle and come up with a lower end product is Glacialtech. The cooler is a lot smaller than many coolers on the market and utilises only two heatpipes – clearly we’re not looking for amazingly low temperatures but just some solid figures. Introducing the GlacialTech 5610 Plus Silent…
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Review
June 1, 2009 – 10:07 am
Cooler Master’s newest addition to their cooling range coincides brilliantly with the launch of the i5 and LGA1156 hardware. The i5 is the baby brother of the i7 CPUs and has a lower stock TDP of 95W and thus producing less heat. The Cooler Master Hyper TX3 aims to be very affordable and yet still perform well so as to provide sufficient cooling for the i5 range. With a good reputation that has extended into the cooling market, Cooler Master’s Hyper TX3 has high expectations. However, will corners have been cut in order to allow for the price reduction? Let’s take a look…
Noctua NH-U12P Review
May 25, 2009 – 10:43 am
The introduction of the latest X58 and i7 platform has meant that a whole new mounting mechanism for the LGA1366 socket has been developed. The influx of coolers is now extremely vast with the predominate theme of the coolers featuring aluminium fin stacks and U-shaped heat pipes. One such design that has had great success is the Noctua NH-U12P; instead of redesigning a whole new cooler for the i7 platform as some companies have chosen to do, Noctua have stuck with the tried and tested NH-U12P creating a special edition with an adjusted accessory bundle specifically for the LGA1366 socket. With high accolades and proven performance, this heatsink and fan combination should be a sure fire hit in cooling the i7 processor.

Xigmatek are a company renowned for their excellent cooling solutions especially their HDT CPU coolers. Today, at Verdis Reviews we have a three dual heatpipe HDT cooler that features Xigmatek’s patented anti-vibration mounts along with the popular tower-format layout. Whilst nor being aimed at high end cooling, this cooler should provide some pretty solid results. Introducing the Xigmatek Nepartak S983 HDT…
Noctua NH-U12P
April 14, 2009 – 9:33 am
Noctua have really impressed with the products that have been reviewed on Verdis Reviews before; this week we take a look at another cooler from the same company that has received over 150 awards for its high quality design. The NH-U12P has been around for a little while now but is still able to compete with many of the newer additions from rival companies. Enough said, time to have a better look and see what we think.
