XSreviews has a look at one of Thermalright's latest additions and sexy it looks too.

Full Story

Thermaltake Technology, world’s leading brand in high-performance chassis, high-efficiency power supply and coolers, today announced the introduction of world’s first waterblock for Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX graphic card.

The TMG ND4 is a revolutionary product with a Brazing Pure Copper Waterblock for maximum heat conductivity from heat source, Unique 60mm fan blade design to optimize the airflow while keeping the noise at minimal (18dBA) innovations to incorporate ultra-high performance with incredibly silent operation for the ultimate gaming experience.

Custom tailor designed for Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX, TMG ND4 VGA cooler utilizes state of the art Brazing Technology to weld waterblock with all copper cold plate. Coupled with high density stacked fins for faster heat convection with surrounding cool air, TMG ND4 not only cools the main GPU, but the GDDR3 memory as well. Low-Noise fan on the edge of TMG ND4 provides additional concentrated and high-press airflow across the dissipating fins.

The 400gram TMG ND4 is fully compatible with all Thermaltake liquid cooling system as well as any aftermarket solutions thanks to it’s multipurpose quick connectors that can be interchanged to support 1/4”(6.4mm) and 3/8”(9.5mm) diameter tubing.

The thoughtful design and performance-minded features of TMG ND4 will undoubtedly bring ultimate gaming experience that gamers across the world has been searching for. No word on the pricing yet.

Dell updted its XPS 710 website today, referencing a technology only known as "Black Ice". The company does not reveal anything other than a teaser image.

Sources, however, suggest that Black Ice may be a phase change cooling system similar to that of Asetek's Vapochill cases, which dramatically reduces the temperature of the systems beyond even liquid cooling.

Dell has been overclocking its high-end systems lately, so this improvement would let Dell overclock even the hottest Core 2 Extreme quad-core processors without affecting other components. No info is available about a unveiling date.

Thermaltake is well known in the overclocker community for its top class cooling solutions and power supplies. They have been at the forefront of innovative air cooling and water cooling solutions for the enthusiast overclockers for sometime. Today, we will review their Ruby Orb CPU cooler. The Ruby Orb is designed to support most of the existing sockets including the LGA775, 939, and the AM2 sockets.

The Ruby Orb utilizes a radial dissipation design that is unique in the cooling industry. The number of cooling fins multiply as they extend from the center of the Ruby Orb to reduce backpressure on the fan and faster heat dissipation. The y-split fin design allows the Ruby Orb to maximize its cooling fins up to 140 fins at the end to provide extended cooling surface and smooth airflow.

 

Frosty keeps it cool with a look at Thermalright's Ultra 120 cooler. Heatpipes and 120mm fans abound.

The Ultra-120 heatsink extends Thermalright's position as one of the best low noise heatsink manufactures in the market. Yet the Thermalright Ultra-120 applies only fairly simple cooling technologies; a selection of U-shaped heat pipes, widely spaced aluminum cooling fins, and a low speed 120 mm fan which is user provided. The end result though is a large, and albeit balky heatsink, but one which can be operated very quietly while disbursing the high heat loads from modern-day dual core processors.

Here's another interesting watercooling kit from the technical experts at Corsair. Looks like the R & D department have gone completely bonkers this time. Corsair's Nautilus500 brings ease of use and performance in one small package. I wonder if they modelled it on the RamGuy?

Our attempts to encourage Corsair to go back to their roots and produce pukka performance hardware have obviously fallen on deaf ears with this latest hardware monstrousity. Do they really expect anybody will stick a giant plastic box on top of their aluminium case with poxy thin green tubing coming out the back. It gets better. Check out the specs.

With all this hot weather, we thought we might try to cool things down with a look at a little Northbridge cooling courteousy of Thermaltake's latest chipset cooler. The Extreme Spirit II is designed to keep Northbridge temperatures down way below stock motherboard solutions. Now there's no excuse to get rid of that annoying squeaky fan and tacky heatsink on your motherboard and replace it with some real copper bling!
