Arctic Cooling evidently took a different approach when it came to their new Accelero series. They redesigned the shroud, restricted use of copper to only a small part of the heatsink base and added three heatpipes. On paper, the new Accelero series certainly does not look formidable. Most of the changes appear to have weight and cost reduction, rather than performance improvement, in mind. Of course, the use of heatpipes may provide a significant boost to its performance...

Arctic Cooling is soon to release a new GPU cooler called the Accelero. There are two versions of the cooler, one for top end NVIDIA and the other for top end ATI. I am taking a look at the NVIDIA version which I throw on a card that's known for overheating often. Let's take a closer look...

The Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 heatsink is an economical lower-noise AMD Athlon64 heatsink that allows consumers on a budget an option for reducing computer noise. By way of its specially designed and vibration dampened fan, Arctic Cooling have put together a very simple extruded aluminum heatsink that handles the heat well without all the buzz and whine...

The Alpine is aimed directly at the stock AMD cooler. Because of the solid aluminum construction and the low RPM fan, that can be clearly seen. The pricing of the Alpine is in the neighborhood of the cheapest price coolers out there, but they didn?t skip out on the build of this cooler. The Alpine still uses the same fan architect that it uses on a lot of their high-end coolers. Well enough of the greets and nice words, lets see what this thing is all about...

Heat is your computers worst enemy, but luckily enough there are many cooling products to make use of. We are taking a look at a new CPU cooler which uses three heat pipes that can handle heat up to 200w! Let's jump in and see how it compares to a few other S939 coolers on the market...

...All in all, I am very pleased with the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. Unlike a few products out there, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is a cooler that truly deserves its name. After all, how can a product have the words "Arctic" and "Freezer" in its name without living up to them?...

Arctic Cooling certainly deserves their high reputation. It's really not surprising why big manufacturers such as ASUS and HIS pick them for their VGA cooling solutions. The Accelero X2 simply kills the annoying noise we all hate and provides great performance. The idea to use heat pipes technology for this product was a brilliant one. Just to remind you guys, this product will only be available from February 2006. The MSRP is $33 which is an excellent price in my opinion. The Accelero X2 seems to be a good product and an important one, as the noise the X1800 generates under full fan speed is way too high. The overclockers should like it as well. Once again, Arctic Cooling has come out with a real winner...

The stock AMD cooler is actually a great no frills heatsink in its own right. Its not that quiet and it's not the most efficient heatsink in the world, but it does a good job of cooling the A64. The Freezer 64 Pro not only hugely outperforms it at stock and with the overclock, but its does it with little to no noise...

The Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC heatsink is a mid-level extruded aluminum cooler, and it features the companies signature suspended lower noise fan. The fan design minimizes turbulence and the noise created by air moving over the edges of a traditional fan frame, by removing as much of the fans' frame as possible. The heatsink is constructed from a simple aluminum extrusion, and aside from the rather odd-looking low noise fan is pretty straightforward. The fan is controlled by an embedded thermistor to control its noise output. The Arctic Cooling Silencer 64 Ultra TC works with all existing socket 754/939/940 AMD Athlon64 processors, and because it lacks any copper components, is a light 448 grams...

I would have to say they have a winner when it comes to quiet air cooling. Not only did I have an amazing card to feature the cooler on but even with the ATI Silencers fan speed maxed out it is barely audible and it provides excellent cooling at a good price. I highly recommend this cooler to anyone with an ATI X800 or X850 series card that wants maximum cooling performance without sacrificing your ear drums to achieve it. I can't imagine much better temperatures with a near silent air cooled solution without turning to a water cooled solution...

The Freezer 7 Pro is an excellent replacement for the stock OEM cooler and also for those that are running loud aftermarket coolers as well. Conquering the heat produced by Intel processors today can be a difficult job but Arctic Cooling has subduing the heat problems. With the uniqueness of the heatsink and the fan assembly this cooler will look good in anybodies case. Lastly, this is a larger heatsink than some, but honestly I don't think it should be a problem mounting this on any motherboard because the mounting brackets makes the bulk of the cooler sit much higher than anything on the motherboard...

Arctic Cooling has just updated their popular NV Silencer to support the 7800GT, and that's exactly how we are going to test it! The cooler still uses the proven design of blowing hot air out the back, and looks great while doing it. Is it better than stock though, and possibly water cooling?

I'm going to get right to the point here. The Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev.3 costs around £15 from UK Vendors. For me it's a no brainer. If you are lucky enough to own a 7800 you owe it to yourself to buy one. It's incredibly easy to install, looks great and the performance is so very worth even double the price they charge...

This cooler has a great bang for the buck for those of us still using Socket A's. It provides extra cooling we need for modding and overclocking and also provides much lower noise levels if you happen to care about having a quiet PC. Installation can be completed easily, even by a novice user and all the results are proven. This cooler for its ease of installation and it's better than estimated temperature readings and for its much better noise level I give it a 9 out of 10...

Arctic Cooling, maker of the coveted VGA silencer series also make PC-cases. Where thermodynamics and air-flow are concerned their Silentium-T2 has to be one of the most astute engineering designs we've seen. The case is an all steel affair sporting a slightly under powered integrated 350W PSU and is relatively small, but still may have some serious potential. Let's just see how much...
