High-end CPU Coolers Reviewed and Compared

Posted by Soulskill on from the absolute-zero-is-an-absolute-necessity dept.

jjslash writes "CPU cooling units are an often-overlooked but always important side of PC building, whether you're looking to overclock or you simply want a cool-running, silent system. It's also easy to get lost if you aren't an enthusiast who keeps tabs on the best options. TechSpot has rounded up 10 high-end CPU coolers (read: huge heatsinks) including top units from Noctua, Thermalright, Xigmatek, Silverstone and Thermaltake. If you're willing to spend the cash, they rate the Noctua NH-U14S as the best overall pick. For a tighter budget, the Thermalright offerings provide the best bang for your buck."

    These sorts of reviews are done regularly, by dozens of websites. I like computer hardware news (its the industry I work in, after all) but please don't let every review or roundup out there make it to Slashdot.

      I might forgive it were it not doing that fucking "put content across 10 pages!!!" thing.

      Techspot: fuck you and fuck your attempts to make your articles worth ten times as much without actually doing ten times more work.
