Cooler Master V8 PWM Universal CPU Cooler (Intel LGA775 / LGA1366 / LGA1156** & AMD 940 / AM2 / AM2+) (RR-CCH-L9U1-GP)[sql-filter 350.]The Cooler Master V8 PWM Universal CPU Cooler revs up ahead with its tough guard cooling engine to challenge a new generations of PC modding. Superior in its design, this wicked-fun V8 monster has enough horsepower to out-perform its competitors in its duties with any high-performance CPU under the most critical heat conditions. On top of its stylish finish, the V8 Cooler has quite a few rich features. For heat dissipation it is equipped with a smart 180W cooling solution. Modularized by 4 separate sets of aluminum fins and linked by 8 diagonal up-rise heat pipes, the V8 structural design allows speedy heat transfer to a large heat dissipation surface. Another excellent key feature of the V8, is its precision fan control. The V8 is compatible with all most popular CPU sockets and provides unsurpassed cooling performance. A proud member of the V-Engine series, the V8 has staggering cooling power![/sql-filter]	OCZ Cryo-Z Phase Change Single Evaporator CPU Cooling Unit HOT ITEM!!! ( OCZTCRYO ) Sockets (478 / 754 / 775 / 1156* / 1366* / 939 / 940 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 )[sql-filter 350.]OCZ Technology's Cryo-Z is an advanced cooling solution for the extreme overclocker using phase-change technology to achieve sub-zero temperatures at the CPU. The built-in temperature monitoring and control circuitry keeps the temperature at a steady level of -45 to -50 degree Celsius at the nozzle. If the temperatures fall outside a predefined range, the system will automatically be shut down by the Cryo-Z control unit. The same control unit also pre-chills the system and automatically turns on the computer once a temperature of approximately -30 degree Celsius is reached. If the compressor and condensation units are reaching a critical high temperature threshold, the Cryo-Z will automatically initiate a shut-down sequence of the computer. The Cryo-Z was developed with optimal user-friendliness in mind, including the insulation of the cooled parts as a necessary precaution against condensation. The novel approach to air-tight insulation using layered close-cell material greatly simplifies phase-change cooling to extreme temperatures by establishing an air-tight seal around the chilled structures. By preventing humidity from penetrating the insulation, icing-up can largely be avoided. Individual results will vary depending on climate conditions and user habits. [/sql-filter]
Feser / Noiseblocker Triebwerk TK-122 NB-Multiframe® 120mm x 55mm Mid Speed Fan - 1800 RPM[sql-filter 350.]The Feser Company and Noiseblocker team up and create the worlds first liquid cooling optimized 120mm fans! Taking the best of both companies ideas and combining them gives birth to the Triedwerk Series. Countless testing and prototypes were created to fine tune this king of the fan. Although created with liquid cooling in mind it is still a great all around fan for high CFM, high static pressure applications! The TFC Triebwerk TK-122 120mm x 55mm Mid Speed Fan is the mid speed version of the Triebwerk Series fans. The Triebwerk fans are optimized for liquid cooled radiators with many features and abilities that normal fans do not possess. The NB-Nano-SLI® bearings used in these fans are lifetime-optimized precision bearings for low-vibration, quiet operation, and improved reliability. Built in fan silencers are used to created the quietest possible environment and comes directly from the NB-Multiframe® technology. The silicon inserts are reversible as one side is flush with the fan housing to create a seal with radiators. The other side extends past the housing to create a barrier between fan and chassis or heatsink for maximum noise reduction. The 55mm thickness of the Triebwerks creates a larger blade size and allows much different blade angles to create a staggering CFM to dBA ratio. (88.4CFM,30dBA) Each fan comes with a "piggy back" cable to daisy chain multiple fans together without the use of cable splitters and messy cabling. This allows even quad radiators to be cooled with a single cable connection.[/sql-filter]
