To those of us computer enthusiasts that are more on the snobbish side, Rosewill is a brand that is often overlooked. You know, in most aspects of my purchasing life, I buy the generic or the cheapest.but when buying computer hardware, I nearly always buy the "big name" or proven products. I have previously owned one Rosewill product, an IEEE 1394 PCI card, that I bought thinking I would need it to review a Firewire item. It wasn't the cheapest I could find, but it was the cheapest I could find with a brand name I had heard of. Rosewill makes a wide range of hardware items, and their goal is to build quality merchandise that will sell for a reasonable price. Today, I'll see if the R6AS5-BK lives up to that goal.

Rosewill RCX-Z3 is a hefty heatsink designed for all current AMD and Intel processor families so it should appeal to all users. The RCX-Z3 features no less than six copper heat pipes, a very thick copper base, 52 thin aluminum fins, a small extruded aluminum heatsink, and four strategically placed blue LEDs for internal illumination.

The Rosewill RCX-Z2 heatsink is designed for socket 775 Intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo processors. Pulse Width Modulation compatible fans are noted by their 4-pin power connectors, and what PWM does is enable the BIOS to directly control fan speed. The impeller speed increases or decreases relative to the processor's temperature at any given moment, in this case between 500RPM and 3400RPM.

The Rosewill RCX-Z1 is an economical socket AM2 or 939 AMD Athlon64 heatsink in the most basic sense. In fact, it has been quite a while since FrostyTech has tested an extruded aluminum cooler for a modern processor. Apart from its copper heat spreader base plate, this is a very simple heatsink that is cheap and simple to install. It's thermal performance is satisfactory for AMD Sempron or any of the new lower wattage Athlon64 CPUs.

The Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX is pegged as a low noise heatsink, and with its PWM fan able to scale between 800-2400RPM this is quite an asset. The RCX-Z2-EX is assembled by rather standard means; aluminum fins, four copper heatpipes and a copper base, all of which have been dark nickel plated. A 92mm fan in a surprisingly open frame spins at the center of it all. The open frame design reduces turbulance and allows exhaust airflow to cool adjacent components on the motherboard.

The Rosewill RCX-Z2 heatsink is designed for socket 775 Intel Pentium D and Core 2 Duo processors, and as with most heatsinks vying to push the stock Intel heatsink out of the PC, it comes equipped with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) fan. The fan on the RCX-Z2 spins at speeds of 500-3400RPM, and is internally illuminated with blue LEDs.

I think it is safe to say that Rosewill really does take pride in the quality of their products and this makes one believe their other goal of customer satisfaction is followed through as well. As for how the RCX-Z775-EX performed, I think the thermal testing results outline the abilities of this cooler quite well. The overclock I tested at and the cooler I compared the RCX-Z775-EX with would have made a lot of coolers look far inferior but the Rosewill cooler didn't back down.

Today we will be checking out one of the company's newer offerings, a 3.5" SATA external enclosure. Since the goal of this company is value, we will take a look at the cost of this product compared to other similar items, as well as taking a look at the performance. After all, low price is one thing but our enthusiast rigs deserve nothing but top notch performance! So kick up your heels and relax for a bit as we delve deeper into this means of using a newer SATA drive as an external device. Price, performance... is it worth our hard-earned upgrading dollars? We'll find out!
