The Silentium T Pro did not follow the ATX standard in terms of thermodynamics. This case was developed for noise reduction and optimal thermodynamic properties. The case has been designed from scratch with the goal to reduce the noise to an absolute minimum. Openings to the front of the case were intentionally left out. Air exhaustion and power supply cooling have been configured for a high end PC, despite this high-end configuration the system operates virtually silent. The fans contain patented vibration absorption in order to lower the noise level further. Audio in and out as well as two USB 2.0 connectors are included in the front bezel. The IEEE 1394 (FireWire) connector is optional. Hard disk noise and vibration are eliminated by encapsulating it into absorbers. A HDD cooler keeps it at a low temperature. The mechanically optimized construction using 0.8 mm SECC steel makes this case one of the most torsion resistant cases available despite a relative low weight.

Advantages: Cheap, Powerfull and efficient Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to install
...I upgraded to this Heat sink Fan unit from an Akasa one and the difference in temperatures was great!
With the Akasa model i was peaking on full load at 62 degrees Celsius and with the new Arctic Freezer 7 Pro i am now peaking on full load at 46 degrees Celsius. (My tower also has 3 additional cooling fans as well so i had to point it out.)
The Fan being mounted on the side of the Heat sink is a great idea as heat naturally rises. Also the fins at the bottom of the heat sink direct airflow towards the motherboard components which helps keep them cool.
When this initially arrived in the post i was surprised at the size and weight of it. Its huge!
It was a bit fiddly to install but the fan is detachable to help.
For the price it is brilliant value for money....

Advantages: Very cool, easy to install Disadvantages: copper on the cpu side far from mirror ( needs a polish )
...Test system:
processor - AMD Athlon FX62 (2 x 2800 MHz / 125W TDP)
motherboard - ASUS M2N32 DeLuxe Wireles Edition (passive cooling system with HeatPipe)
Cooler is very easy to install just one lever.
More experienced users will probably remove thermal compound and polish the surface of the cooler ( it is far from being a mirror ) and then apply high quality thermal compound.
This will give You another 1-2 C less and faster cooling down after stress.
all tests were done using Zalman STG 1 ( high quality thermal compound )
Temperature readings after 60 minutes in idle:
Akasa AK-876 37
ArcticCooling 64PRO 38
Scythe Katana II 39
Temperature readings after 60 minutes in 100% load:
Akasa AK-876 56
ArcticCooling 64PRO 58
Scythe Katana II 61
Temperature readings...

Good Fast CPU Review ofIntel Core 2 Duo E6600 / 2.4 GHz processorby
tamss
Advantages: Fast and can Cope with anything I've thrown at it easily Overclockable. Disadvantages: New range of Intel CPUs are cheaper and faster
...a DVD or convert a video which would have been impossible previously on a single core CPU.
The E6600 works at 2.4GHZ out of the box but with the right Motherboard and cooling can be easily pushed past 3GHZ and with water cooling up to 4GHZ. For a Motherboard for overclocking i would recommend the Asus P5B series and for cooling the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro is a great and cheap choice.
With a Arctic Freezer 7 Pro I get idle temps of 35 degrees C and under full load up to 45 degrees C
This is probably this CPUs weakest aspect as the recently released range of Core 2 Duos the E6*50 range are cheaper and faster than the E6*00 range. At the moment the E6600 can be purchased for around £140 whereas the E6750 which is slightly faster can be picked up for around £120. The only downside to these new range of Intel...

I bought this cooler the other day on Amazon and it arrived today, thankfully 20 minutes after my new cpu did.
The first thing that struck me was that the fan is positioned to the side of the heatsink rather than on top of it. Thus blowing hot air... more
I bought this cooler a few months back now so have had a long experiance using it, so far it has amazed me.
My idle temperatures of my CPU went down around 10 degrees from the stock AMD cooler and my temperature at full load went down even more!... more
I recently upgraded my CPU to a retail version AMD 64, that comes with the standard cooler and fan. I found it to be very noisy and decided I needed a quieter CPU cooler. After looking at various options, and not having lots to spend, I decided on the... more
