FYI: My tesing platform blew up a couple of days before the review - which is the main reason why I did this Thermalright ONLY review and just did not have any comparable results. I just ripped a couple of parts out of my own gaming PC to review the coolers, because we were already discussing...

We've seen several versions of Thermalright's HR-02 Macho since 2011, including the smaller Macho 120 and the huge HR-22. We tested the latest iteration, which sports a new base plate optimized for Intel's LGA 2011-v3 interface. Thermalright Macho Heat Sink Family Round-Up : Read more

Noctua has a reputation for high quality and performance to match. Not surprisingly, then, its NH-L12 shows up as the priciest product in our low-profile heat sink series. Aside from its thorough accessory bundle, does spending extra on this sink pay off? Noctua NH-L12 Mini-ITX CPU Heat Sink...

It takes more than good looks to stand out in the crowded mini-ITX heat sink market. Phanteks' PH-TC90LS looks the part with its simple, white paint job. We also like its price. But mediocre cooling performance barely beats Intel's own bundled cooler. Phanteks PH-TC90LS Mini-ITX Cooler Review ...

Prolimatech doesn't include a fan with its Samuel 17 heat sink. It's on you to find your own, and almost any 12cm cooler will do. But at $45 on its own, can the Samuel 17 overcome a lofty price tag with correspondingly impressive performance? Prolimatech Samuel 17 Mini-ITX CPU Heat Sink Review...

Afaik at least the Phanteks PH-TC90LS might show up here in a couple of days :)

In our continuing coverage of low-profile cooling solutions for mini-ITX builds, we take a look at the Scythe Kozuti and its unconventional design. Does pulling air through heat sink fins facilitate better performance than blowing it through? Scythe Kozuti Mini-ITX CPU Heat Sink Review : Read more

I did an ITX case review (SFF!) on our German website - this is the environment where I'd reccomend the NH-L9i. http://www.tomshardware.de/itx-gehause-cases-sff-external-psu,testberichte-241593.html

I asked Noctua to send over a new NH-L9i to verify the results but CPU temp did not improve using another one. I know that the NH-L9i normally should outperform Intels stock cooler, so this must be due to the testing platform I'm using...

Today we take a look at Noctua's NH-L9i Mini-ITX air cooler, which promises high-end cooling in a compact design that's under two inches tall. Noctua NH-L9i Mini-ITX CPU Heat Sink Review : Read more

@g-unit1111: Actually there ARE 6 different color combinations including a black AND a white version.
