Today Zerotherm launches the new Nirvana NV120 Premium tower style heatsink, which features a copper base and four U-shaped heatpipes with aluminum fins. Over the entire surface of the Nirvana Premium is a dark gray mirror finish like no other heatsink I have seen. Included is a 120mm blue LED fan with a fan controller to dial in the right noise level for any system. With all this style comes great performance, too.

ZEROTherm has been kicking out high end CPU and VGA coolers for a couple of years now. We have seen some great performance out of their previous products such as the BTF90 and GX815 coolers. Will their newest VGA cooler rise to the challenge of todays demanding VGA cards? We are going to see how their newest VGA cooler, the Hurricane HC92 CU8800, holds up to the heat produced by a XFX 8800 GTS.

ZEROtherm doesn't shy away from challenges in the cooling industry, taking on the big dogs in a crowded cooling ring. Today's arena is the HardwareLogic test bench, and the heavyweight competition is the Zalman CNPS9700LED. This should be a great match up between two heavyweight contenders, so sit ringside with us as we give a blow by blow.

ZEROtherm is not a name that is really associated with PC cooling, but it soon will be. The last 2 products we have seen from them performed very well and received our Recommended Award. This week they are releasing a slew of new products and we got our hands on 2 of them. Today we will be looking at the Nirvana NV120 CPU cooler, which features an efficient heatpipe design, 120mm LED fan, and a honeycombed structure design. Let's see if it can stand up to the quality of the other ZEROtherm coolers we have looked at in the past.

We have tested several of ZEROtherm's coolers in the past, with some of their GPU offerings proving to be well worth a buy. Today we have something that's designed to deal with the 8800 series' inefficient, noisy, stock cooler; The Hurricane HC92.

Well, the numbers don't lie: the mystery gray goop in the syringe works rather well compared to the stock white stuff. Even if the numbers are slightly lower, that is good, as compared to being slightly higher or even the same. The ZT-100 thermal grease is easy to spread, and the 3.5 grams should last for about 4 applications.

ZeroTherm's newest foray into the field of thermal conductivity is the ZT-100 High Performance Thermal Grease. Entering an unforgiving market that is already inundated with all types and kinds of thermal pastes and greases, the ZeroTherm ZT-100 is up against formidable companies like Arctic Silver. Long considered to be the de facto specialist in the thermal conductivity industry, Arctic Silver's venerable 5 series of goo has been around for years. Can the ZeroTherm's ZT-100 offering knock the reigning champ down? There's only one way to find out!

ZEROtherm has a great product in its ZT-100 thermal grease. It performs on par with the best in its class and is easy to apply. It's also available for sale now and competitively priced at around $6 for the 3.5g package. The included finger cot applicator is re-useable and widely available should the user need additional units.

The enormous amount of heat produced by today's dual and quad-core processors makes purchasing a third-party CPU cooler almost a necessity for any user building a performance computer system. Most quality heatsinks will cost around $50, but Zerotherm's CF800 and CF900 heatsinks won't break the bank at $29.99 a piece, and should provide PC builders with a cost-effective solution to cool today's hottest CPUs. The real questions to answer in this review are if the copper-based CF900 can outperform the aluminum-based CF800, and whether there is a big enough difference between them and the stock Intel cooler to warrant the expense. We'll let the results speak for themselves.

Hardcore overclockers and gamers do not only have to worry about the temperature of their CPU, but also the temperature of their video cards. Overclocking a video card usually has a much larger impact on game frame rates than overclocking a processor. That said, there is also another point of view when it comes to gaming and has nothing to do with overclocking, many people like to enjoy some casual gaming with their HTPC, or simply in a quiet environment. Buying a high end video card usually leaves these people frustrated, as the "reference" coolers generate a lot of noise in order to keep them cool enough. So aftermarket VGA coolers easily come into mind. Today we will take a look at a VGA cooler from a Korean company, Zerotherm, the GX815. The GX815 boasts not only exceptional performance but low noise as well. Too good to be true? We will soon find out.

As you can see from the quote ZEROtherm are not exactly new to the cooling market as their parent company have been around since 1999, so really the new boys on the block should know how to produce a decent heatpipe cooler. Is this the case with the GX810, let us get on with the review and find out.

ZEROtherm have produced some very interesting coolers, including their Buterfly range, and GX series for your GPU. Today I have their CF800 and CF900 which look much more like a regular heatsink rather than animal-centric.

Way back in October we took a look at the BFT90 CPU cooler from ZEROtherm. It proved to be a very effective cooler and user friendly. Today we will be looking at another product from ZEROtherm, this time it's a GPU cooler. The GX815 Gamer Edition VGA cooler features a heatpipe design, built-in thermal sensor, and special SLI/Crossfire mounting hardware. Let's take a look and see if ZEROtherm does as good of a job on their GPU coolers as they do on their CPU coolers.

The ZEROtherm BTF90 is sure to catch your eye right off with its unique fin design. Don't let that scare you, oh wait it is just a friendly little butterfly.
