ZEROtherm BTF90 CPU Cooler
Written by Wilier on Wednesday 16th May 2007
The idea of the butterfly design being to create a one-of-a-kind thermal solution that incorperates both excellent thermal design as well as being a symbolic "first flight" for the company. -
Zalman CNPS-9700NT
Written by Wilier on Tuesday 2nd January 2007
Simple fitting, tried and tested design and excellent build quality all seem to come at a bit of a cost premium here but its safe to say that all in all, the CNPS-9700 NT is another excellent piece of cooling hardware from the master of quiet cooling -

Noctua NHU-12 and NHU-9 CPU coolers
Written by Penguin on Monday 26th June 2006
The NH-U12 kept our overvolted Opteron 144 system at 44C, 14C cooler than the stock AMD heatsink! -
Arctic Cooling Alpine 64
Written by Wilier on Wednesday 21st June 2006
Whilst the Alpine64 is no overclockers wet-dream when it comes to CPU cooling, it does have some excellent features which when added together make it well worth considering if you wish to replace your stock cooler. -
Dynatron T81 CPU Cooler
Written by Wilier on Tuesday 9th May 2006

Nexus AXP-3200
Written by Scarecrow on Monday 16th May 2005

Zalman ZM80C
Written by Wilier on Thursday 10th March 2005
The quality of construction, packaging and instructions, as well as the support website should it be required, are right up there with the very best in the business which, frankly, is exactly what we have come to expect from Zalman.

Acoustifan Silent Case Fans
Written by Wilier on Thursday 10th March 2005
The AcoustiFan is definitely well designed and built. The quality of the materials and components used, paticularly the motor, lead me to think that Acousti's R+D dept certainly know their stuff,
