Air cooling is not for turkeys & More
Air cooling innovations are still coming out, even with the growth of water cooling as a solution for top preforming PC’s. With 120mm fans and multiple heat pipes being the main improvements lately, it is nice to see someone improve that which usualy gives me the most trouble, the retention clip. Phoronix reviews the Spire VertiCool and one of the comments that stood out for me was “The Spire VertiCool is among the easiest heatsinks on the market as far as installation is concerned.”
