Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad 03-18-2008

The material inside is sodium sulfate decahydrate, Na2SO4·10H2O, also known as Glauber's salt. This material changes phases (from solid to liquid) at 32 C (90 F), which makes this product excellent at storing heat and is commonly used to store thermal energy for solar heating systems.

NZXT Cryo LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler 02-06-2008

This isn't something you'd expect to see under the notebook of some guy in a dress shirt and tie sitting next to you on a plane, or of someone in a business suit at Starbucks. More likely, you'd see this under an Alienware gaming laptop at a LAN party. I have no problem believing this is something from NZXT.

OCZ Freeze Thermal Compound 12-20-2007

Last month I did a thermal compound review where I pitted the venerable Arctic Silver 5 against the latest stuff from Tuniq, the TX-2. Well here we are, almost exactly one month later, and we have a new contender in the arena, the OCZ Freeze.

Thermaltake NBcool T500 and T2000 USB Notebook Coolers 12-12-2007

I looked at the little 1.5” intake hole, then looked at the bed, the carpet, the dining table (which has a tablecloth with some brocading on it), the sofa, all over the house. I found very few spots that I might use it without some kind of interference with the fan intake.

Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound 11-23-2007

All thermal paste is relatively the same, and as long as you use something between your processor and heatsink (besides a thermal pad) you're good. Or is it?

Ultra Products Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler 11-18-2007

For those of you who are concerned with the longevity of your data, though, there are plenty of low-quality, rackety hard drive coolers out there. I don’t know about you, but I know I don’t want any more noise coming out of my box. Ultra Products proposes to solve those problems of hard drive heat and noise with their aptly named Aluminum Hard Drive Cooler.

Zalman ZM-MFC2 Multi Fan Controller 11-01-2007

There are times I’d like to be able to turn the fans up to the max for short periods of time, like when overclocking. And to be honest, there are times I miss the look of those analog knobs on the front of my rig. Call me old skool, call me old man, I’m sorry, I like dials and knobs.

Arctic Cooling MX-2 Thermal Compound 09-23-2007

The debate of the paste rages on! What makes one thermal paste better than another? Is it the little features in these so-very-essential products, or is it sheer performance? In my everlasting quest of the answer, I have come across Arctic Cooling’s MX-2 thermal compound, which appears to be a promising contestant in the goop challenge.

Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Thermal Compound 08-27-2007

Coollaboratory’s Liquid Pro and Shin Etsu’s X23 have been fighting for the lime-light for the past few years, but only tested by a few American (or other English speaking language countries) review sites. Everyone seems to get different results, all with a “clear winner,” which brings into question the idea that thermal compounds really do differ from one another. Today, we’re reviewing Coollaboratory’s Liquid Pro to see for sure if this difference exists.
