New Super Highend Air Coolers

It has been a little while since the kings of air cooling have given the enthusiastic anything new. So here is some of the newest kings of cooling to be.

Review of Prolimatech Mega Shadow cpu cooler @ Testseek 

"Obviously these are spectacular results. At no moment we reached critical temperatures, not even at 4GHz. This is truly remarkable since the Intel Core i7 920 can be run at 80°C - 85°C without risking anything. Also, remember that I used software which loaded all four cores to 100% simultaneously. In reality this will almost never happen. Therefore these maximum temperatures are truly the extremes. The results point to the conclusion that the gains by using two fans are minor. I actually found the Scythe Gentle Typhoon fans to have a great balance between cooling performance and noise level at 1450RPM. As a little curiosity I also ran the CPU at 3.4GHz without HyperThreading enabled. The result was quite significant. With the HT activated the average temperature was 63°C, with HT deactivated the average temperature was 56°C, which is considerably lower"

Thermalright Unveils Venomous X Cooler @ Overclock3D

"So where have Thermalright been hiding? Since the release of the popular Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme (or "TRUE") and the gigantic but not quite as popular IFX-14, the manufacturer have been as quiet as a mouse on the CPU Cooling front. It's fair to say that neither of the aformentioned coolers are any less capable than they were when they were first released but as other manufacturers release new products, regular product refreshes ensure that sales don't fall. With this in mind, cue the new Thermalright Venomous X Heatpipe Cooler."
