“We have seen many newcomers to the computer cooling industry; and lately, many of these newcomers have been making a name for themselves, like Noctua and Zerotherm. These companies are now competing against well-established manufacturers like ThermalRight and Zalman, and today, we will be reviewing another heatsink and fan from SilenX – even another manufacturer that is quickly becoming a big player in the PC cooling industry.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Two fans are better than one
SilenX’s IXTREMA Pro IXC-120HA2 features exposed heatpipes and the ability to support a pair of 120mm fans for some extra cooling power on those systems which require it. Bjorn3D was quite impressed with the cooling it could provide as well as it’s relatively quiet operation. They did feel the inclusion of a fan controller would have been a good idea though.
