With processors becoming more and more powerful, they will tend to generate more heat. The air cooling solutions are showing the after affect of this, typically being larger and louder to offer adequate cooling for the faster processors. Ultra recently released a new line of coolers targeting the faster processors while trying to keep the size of the cooler manageable. The X-Wind coolers are available in three basic sizes (Aluminum 90mm, Copper 90mm, and Copper 120mm).
First Impression:
Ultra has been around for several years and are well known for their cases and power supplies. Ultra is always adding more products to their line. Today we are going to look at their new X-Wind coolers.
Quote from Ultra:
X-Wind High Performance CPU Cooler As computer processors become more and more powerful, they typically generate more heat. Accordingly, air cooling solutions for processors tend to be large, heavy and loud. Ultras X-Wind CPU coolers offer a balance of performance and price without being excessively loud or cumbersome. Because the X-Wind has several fins (as many as 120!), there is more surface area than a typical machined heatsink, so heat is effectively pulled away from the CPU and quickly dissipated. X-Wind's design allows for the use of a larger, quieter fan to push air in between the many fins. If you're disappointed with the noise from your current CPU cooler, fed up with higher temperatures or concerned that your behemoth two pound heatsink is going to damage your motherboard or processor, Ultra has your solution!
