Cooler Master Sphere CPU Cooler Review

Topic:

Tweaktown published a review of the Cooler Master Sphere CPU Cooler. This CPU cooler is really a piece of art and a must have for modders with a see-through PC case.

Quote from the review: "The Cooler Master Sphere is unlike any other heatsink you have seen before. By placing a squirrel cage fan directly in the middle of a baseball sized copper ball made of cooling fins, Cooler Master has increased the thermal dissipation area while reducing the overall size of the cooler.

OnScreen Technologies Delivers 400+Watt WayCool CPU Cooler

Topic:

Today OnScreen Technologies announced the delivery of their final operational prototype of the carbon block CPU cooling solution to OCZ Technologies. The technology will be used in the upcoming OCZ HydroJet CPU cooler.

In tests OnScreen says that the HydroJet combined with OnScreen’s patent pending carbon block heat transfer medium was able to manage the thermal energy of a 400W heat source.

As explained by Stan Robinson, Chief Engineer for DV/DT Engineering, the facility at which the device was tested, "We ran our test block to its maximum output of 400W and the HydroJet maintained the chip below operational norms throughout the entire test period. In contrast, we compared the HydroJet to a leading CPU cooling device that had to be shut down within moments of reaching 400W, when the chip temperature exceeded 105 degrees Celsius." Read more

Sunred Solar Bike is Way Cooler than that Solar Scooter

Topic:

Not too long ago I was poking fun at a geeky looking solar powered scooter some dude built. Now a company called Sunred is showing off a solar powered motorcycle that looks pretty cool.

In fact, the Sunred bike reminds me a lot of the Tron Light bikes from the old flick. I’m betting from the looks of the panels that they aren’t usable when the bike is in motion. They appear to surround the controls of the bike. Read more

Vizo Voyager Dual Fan 3.5” Hard Drive (HD) Cooler Review

Topic:

TechwareLabs reviews the Vizo Voyager Dual Fan 3.5” Hard Drive (HD) Cooler.

Quote from the review:
" Vizo recently sent us the Voyager dual fan 3.5" hard drive (HD) cooler for review. Vizo, based in Taiwan is a manufacturer of computer peripherals with unique designs and has many products focused on the DIY crowd. The Voyager as mentioned earlier is a hard drive cooler. Of the many ways to cool your hard drive the most is to increase the air flow through the case and over the hard drive in particular. Heat is the number 1 killer of hard drives and our philosophy is to spend a few dollars now and save the cost of replacing your drive and data later. Read more

Lightsaber Remote is Way Cooler than the Phaser Remote

The controls for power, channel and volume are worked into the lightsaber design and the whole thing looks pretty cool to me. No word on if it will control more than one device. Read more

JetArt X-Cool NP5000 Laptop Cooler Review

Topic:

Envynews reviews the JetArt X-Cool NP5000 Laptop Cooler.

Quote:
"There’s nothing like the rude awakening that comes from a suddenly hot lap. I know that more than a couple people have experienced the discomfort of moving a laptop from their desk to their laps; within moments of settling into a comfortable position, your legs break into a sweat and you find yourself putting the laptop back where it was. Or, you start with the laptop in your lap and get used to the heat as it rises. Unfortunately, by the time you can feel it the temperature is already way past uncomfortable. It might not be hot enough to cook an egg but it’s definitely hot enough to make you take notice."

CoolerMaster Neon LED Fan User Review

Topic:

The Guys at DVHardware have a review about the CoolerMaster Neon LED Fan.

Quote : "The Neon Led Fan from CoolerMaster looks awesome. Four bright blue LEDs makes sure you have the maximum shiny blue glowing effect. Another good thing is that you almost can't hear the fan, so with its 32.11CFM and only 25dB it's one of the best noise vs speed 80mm fans out there.
