DeepCool Gamer Storm Captain 240 Liquid CPU Cooler Review

By Thomas Soderstrom @ Tom’s Hardware

Gamer Storm should be synonymous with DeepCool by now, as the company lists products from both its enthusiast and commercial builder business on the same web page. Growing out from oversized air to “AIO Cooling” where “all in one” refers to closed loops, Gamer Storm represents its latest generation in liquid cooling. The best news for enthusiasts might be that DeepCool is bucking the trend of $140 coolers, with its Captain 240 now selling for $110. DeepCool’s Gamer Storm brings us a dual-120mm liquid cooler with enhanced style and reduced price, but can it still deliver the performance?

CRYORIG H7 Universal CPU Cooler Review

By crazyeyesreaper @ techPowerUp!

In today’s review, I look at the CRYORIG H7. The smaller sibling to the H5, it is actually a new model for the mainstream market. It makes use of forty aluminum fins and three Ø6 mm heatpipes that are cooled by a 120 mm x 25 mm fan. While the design may not be exciting, single tower coolers have proven their worth time and again. This particular tower’s biggest mainstay, however, is its limitless memory clearance. Let’s now figure out what the H7 Universal can do!

NVIDIA Releases GeForce 353.06 WHQL Drivers

Source: techPowerUp!

In the wake of its new high-end GPU launch, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, NVIDIA released new GeForce 353.06 WHQL drivers. In addition to support for the new GPU, version 353.06 WHQL is Game Ready for “Heroes of the Storm,” including an SLI profile and one-click optimization in GeForce Experience.

The R353 drivers bring a few new features to the table, including G-Sync support for windowed applications (could be useful in ‘windowed-maximized’ display-modes in certain games), a new feature called ULMB (ultra-low motion-blur), which arbitrarily decreases motion-blur drawn by applications (could help with excessive ghosting on LCDs with high response-times), and Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) for notebook GPUs. The drivers also add a comprehensive game-optimization suite for GPUs based on the “Kepler” architecture, which should increase frame-rates across the board for GeForce GTX 600 and GTX 700 series.

NVIDIA’s GeForce Game Ready 353.06 WHQL drivers can be downloaded from GeForce.com or through GeForce Experience.

BeQuiet! Dark Rock TF CPU Cooler Review

By Max Page @ FrostyTech

When you’re doing real work on a desktop PC, creating content in whatever its form, there is nothing more annoying than a loud fan droning on or a computer randomly restarting because some component is overheating under load. Cooling brings reliability and quiet cooling is the only way to go!

With that in mind, on the test bench today we have BeQuiet’s Dark Rock TF heatsink – a top-down dual tower heatsink which features a pair of BeQuiet SilentWings fans and stands 130mm tall. The Dark Rock TF heatsink is built around six 6mm diameter heatpipes which link a large primary aluminum fin stack and smaller secondary set of aluminum cooling fins to a chunky copper heatspreader below. The 135mm PWM fans are arranged in a push-pull configuration, exhausting downwards so related motherboard CPU VRM components benefit from the cooling air flow.
