SilverStone Nitrogon NT06-PRO C-Style CPU Cooler

reference: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/529...ew/index3.html

Introduction

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

When the original concept to this design was released, the NT06E was a C-Style cooler that had performance in mind, above and beyond anything else. The cooler stood 82mm tall without any fans on it and was 106mm tall once you added a fan. Since black was so hot then, the sides of the cooler had plates attached to apply the cooler name while adding some style, but the fins and the heat pipes were all left in their natural state. At that time, another concern was to be able to fit in the SUGO SFF cases, and while the NT-06E was good for that then, SilverStone has really pushed the boundaries of just how small a case can be and still provide all the necessary things.

The cooler we are just about to get real up close and personal with today is the SST-NT06-PRO from SilverStone's Nitrogon series of coolers. While the cooler addresses all the things I just mentioned, they also upgraded the looks of the PRO to give it a distinct look when placed next to its aging brother. Considering some of the awkward layouts inside of quite a few SFF chassis designs, this cooler is kept short, and the fan is to be used under the fins blowing up and out of the CPU cooler. The main reasoning to this concept is to try to eliminate the hot air from recycling into the motherboard, but another reason this concept can work well, is that SFF chassis designs put the PSU over the CPU in a lot of layouts, so essentially you can use the fan from your PSU to aid in the CPU cooling when things are too tight for anything other than an AIO offering.

The NT06-Pro is constructed with a two piece copper base that takes the six 6mm heat pipes between them, and they are then soldered into place for better thermal transfer. Once the base and pipes are assembled, they are then coated with nickel plating. At this point SilverStone adds natural aluminum fins to the pipes. There are 52 in total, five of which are shorter to allow access to the mounting hardware, and each fin has the SilverStone name pressed into it. This is a C-Style cooling solution, so the fins run parallel to the motherboard, and while most times the fans blow at the motherboard, for clearance concerns, the fan with this cooler is meant to hang from under these fins.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

On the top of a plain brown cardboard box, SilverStone explains why you should choose this cooler with a list of features it contains with a rendering at the right as if you were looking down onto the NT06-PRO.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

The front of the box offers very little other than the company name, the coolers name, and the tag line of "the ultimate heatsink with flexibility in nearly all applications".

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

Moving things to the right, we run into a specifications chart. It isn't as inclusive as the one we just looked at, but it does cover most of the basics and allows buyers to make an educated choice in the store.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

Lifting the top on the box allows us to peek inside. The manual is shipped on top of everything, and that everything includes the hardware box in the front, while the cooler and fan are wrapped in high density foam to keep it safe in transit.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

Out of the box and looking it in what I will call the front of the cooler, you can see the aluminum fins are in fact impressed with the SilverStone name and the snowflake logo. You can also see the fins are press fit on the heat pipes, and the pipes are very even across the fins spread.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

From the side you can tell there is a large section of uninterrupted fins, but then you find a small section that doesn't come all the way to the outside edge. This allows for access to screws as you install it. You can also see the bends in the pipes, and while the tops are kinked, the bottom bends are much smoother.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

From the back of the NT06-PRO you can see the nickel plated heat pipes as they are tightly held into the base, and spread like a fan to take on the even spacing through the fins of the top half. You can also see that the last fin in the stack has the name reversed, and while it may be for show, this rippling of the fin induces turbulence, which is good for efficiency.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...eview_full.jpg

Looking down upon the NT06-PRO, you can see that not only are the fins shaped on the top to allow for fan spacing and pressure building, but on the sides there is a protruding section in the middle to allow the fans to clip to.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...eview_full.jpg

The NT06E had a skived pre-cooler here, but that was done away with on the PRO. Here you just have the two solid plates of copper with the pipes soldered in, and four tabs at the top to align the cross-bar of the hardware kit.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

There are studs that run through the back plate and up thorough the motherboard. Once you add some risers, you can then add either the pair of Intel or AMD top brackets that are held in place with thumbscrews. Once those are in, you can attach the cross-bar to the studs to mount the cooler to the motherboard.

http://images.tweaktown.com/content/...ler_review.jpg

The included fan is the HA1220H12SA-Z, which is 120mm by 20mm. This nine blade fan that is solid black in color is PWM controllable as it is powered via the 4-pin fan connection on its left.

SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E

reference: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ance,3435.html

Introduction

http://media.bestofmicro.com/silent-...-367685-13.jpg

Some of those configurations involve coolers that look like giant hamster wheels, while others employ large enclosures with more holes than Swiss cheese to let in plenty of air (and dust). This year, we want to build something plain and unobtrusive, not a bad piece of modern art. We're looking for an office machine that can handle some gaming in a small tower.

http://media.bestofmicro.com/M/Q/367...inal/Intro.jpg

Given the hardware available today (and its relative efficiency), this is actually doable. Even still, we recommend a bit of insurance in the form of a barely-audible fan that can kick in if your more demanding workloads tax the hardware beyond what a heat sink on its own can dissipate.

After checking out the usual assortment of modern mini-towers and cube-shaped enclosures, our choice was clear: SilverStone's Temjin TJ08-E. It’s a classic tower-shaped chassis with several advantages that make it ideal for a passively-cooled build. For instance, its power supply isn’t just installed into the top of the case, like old-school towers. Rather, its orientation is also reversed so that the fan opening points upward. This effectively provides separate air circulation for the PSU and the rest of the system, and the exhaust port comes with its own dust filter. Talk about ideal conditions for a passive power supply.

You'll also notice that the motherboard orientation inside SilverStone's Temjin TJ08-E is turned. This means that the CPU and its cooler are at the bottom, with a lot of air above them. After taking out the hard disk cage and front fan, we’re left with a surprisingly large amount of internal volume for our passive build.

Packaging

http://media.bestofmicro.com/silent-...-367098-22.jpg

The case is light and its packaging is simple and sturdy. It’s pretty easy to transport, and won’t break your mail carrier’s back.

Inside, we find the usual Styrofoam mess. You’ll want to have a vacuum cleaner handy after unloading the case, as bits of packaging are sure to fall like snow. There are cleaner ways to box up a case. Fortunately, some vendors seem to be listening, since we're seeing more foam-based protection, which doesn’t crumple into tiny bits.

http://media.bestofmicro.com/silent-...-367099-22.jpg

Peeking Inside

All that’s needed comes bundled with the case. You get screws, cable ties, a SilverStone sticker, a self-adhesive rubber pad, a USB 3.0-to-2.0 adapter for older motherboards, and a surprisingly well-written manual. We can’t even remember the last time we saw documentation that listed the maximum sizes for all possible components. It is this sort of information that makes deciding which case to buy much easier.

We were able to download the manual and check if the CPU cooler we wanted to use would fit before making any decisions. Big thanks to SilverStone for making the enthusiast's life a little easier.

SilverStone AP123 120mm Case Fan Review

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...d_130309_1.jpg

Introduction

Hari ini, kami memiliki keluaran kipas terbaru dari SilverStone, AP 123. Kipas ini tergolong pada produk AirPenetrator series dan didesain khusus untuk kipas case / chasing. AP 123 memiliki desain yang unik dengan tiga mata pedang kipas yang berbeda di dalam satu fan yang membuat kipas bekerja secara optimal dalam mengatasi berisiknya putaran kipas ketika ditempatkan pada kisi-kisi chasing.

Kalian dapat melihat spesifikasi dari AP 123 sebagai berikut, dan tanpa berbicara panjang lebar lebih banyak lagi mari kita lihat langsung ke produk.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...pecs_ap123.png

Seperti yang dapat kita lihat dari kemasan teknologi penyaluran udara dari desain beberapa mata kipas.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...1-784x1024.jpg

A Closer Look

Termasuk di dalam kemasan kipas SilverStone AP 123, terdapat empat sekrup dan empat karet anti getaran terpisah dalam dua kantong.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...s_130309_2.jpg

Dari depan kalian dapat melihat total sembilan buah mata kipas. Ada tiga desain yang berbeda yang masuk dalam pola triplet, so 1,23, 1,2,3 dan 1,2,3, dll.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...s_130309_4.jpg

Dari belakang kalian dapat melihat bentuk unik dengan desain grill yang membantu jalannya udara. Sayangnya, kabel tidak sepenuhnya diselubungi.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...s_130309_3.jpg

Dari sisi samping kalian dapat melihat sesuatu yang biasa, ketebalan selebar 25 mm.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...s_130309_5.jpg

Kabel dikepang sangat baik dari tepi frame ke konektor sebanyak 3 pin.

Metode Test

- Empat dari setiap jenis kipas diposisikan pada chasing di tempat yang sama. Dua di depan in-taking, satu di belakang exhausting, satu di atas exhausting.
- Suhu delta telah digunakan untuk memperhitungkan fluktuasi kecil dalam suhu kamar.
- Prime 95 dan Unigine Heaven dijalankan selama 10 menit untuk memberikan tekanan baik kepada CPU maupun GPU. Rata-rata suhu maksimum CPU, motherboard dan GPU (s) dicatat sebagai dicatat oleh CPUID HW monitor.
- Semua komponen lain dari sistem pengujian tetap identik pada pengaturan yang konsisten, hanya kipas chasing yang berubah.
- Semua kipas diuji pada 12 volt langsung dari power supply dengan adapter Molex 12v volt.
- Pengukuran akustik diambil sejauh 10cm dari kipas yang diuji dengan kipas power supply dan kipas GPU terisolasi / dimatikan.
- Tingkat kebisingan ambien sebagaimana dicatat oleh meter suara kami adalah 35,5 dBA dan tingkat kebisingan delta telah digunakan dalam grafik kami.
- Ada kira-kira 1 derajat celsius perkiraan kesalahan dalam perangkat lunak perekaman suhu kami.
- Ada kira-kira margin 1dBA kesalahan dengan meteran desibel kami.

Cooling Performance

Kita bisa melihat bahwa kipas SilverStone AP 123 menawarkan kinerja pendinginan yang layak dibandingkan dengan kipas premium Noctua yang kita diuji. Untuk hargapun AP 123s SilverStone lebih ekonomis.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...ance_ap123.png

Acoustic Performance

Membandingkan output suara normal dari kipas dalam isolasi menunjukkan kepada kita bahwa SilverStone AP 123 terdengar keras, tapi untuk kipas dengan kelas putaran 1500rpm, AP 123 benar-benar sangat tenang.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...ance_ap123.png

Disinilah kipas SilverStone AP 123 mendapatkan spotlight-nya. Kami telah melakukan pengujian dengan beberapa kipas 120mm yang kami dapati telah ada di panel samping grill dari chasing HAF 912 untuk melihat berapa banyak perbedaan teknologi penyaluran udara ini benar-benar berpengaruh.

http://www.eteknix.com/wp-content/up...erformance.png

Conclusion

Kipas SilverStone AP 123 dapat dibeli seharga kurang lebih *£12.20. Ini membuat AP 123 berada di area mid-high end tersedia di pasar saat ini.
