INTRODUCTION

It wasn’t so long ago that ‘high-end’ air cooling didn’t exist. The best you could get was something like the Thermaltake Blue orb, and if that wasn’t enough water-cooling was your only option. Heat-pipe technology has revolutionized the air cooling sector since their introduction. You can now experience temperatures close to what you would get with water-cooling, but without the hassle of having to change the coolant and tubing periodically. Manufacturers are constantly trying to find better ways to implement heat pipes to maximize performance. Xigmatek were the first company to introduce ‘Heat-pipe Direct Touch’ technology, where the heatpipes were exposed and in direct contact with the heat spreader of the CPU. A lot of companies have used the same principal, finding this method not just more efficient at transferring heat, but also cheaper and easier to implement.
NesteQ is a young and creative team with focus on high-end industrial design and hi-performance power supply manufacturing. Their ID specialty is what allows them to respond both to general and specific needs in the market with strength and efficiency.
Time and tide wait for no one, so does PC technology, full of challenges as well as business opportunities. The products conforming to current standards are not good enough for them so they pay special efforts to fulfill the demands from high-tech users,
and on the comfort of using. To create revolutionary and high end products is their mission and so far they have achieved that goal by creating products with revolutionary specifications.
NesteQ is a German company better known for their high performance power supplies and today I’ll have a chance to take a look at one of NesteQ’s new CPU coolers, the Silent Freezer 900. A quick glance at the cooler and I can say the design looks similar to some of the same features as the highly rated Xigmatek coolers, so straight away we can expect to see good things from this cooler. Read on to see how and if this cooler lives up to ourexpectations.
