Introduction


Last six years the Intel HEDT (High-End DeskTop) platform has been the leader at the market of highly-efficient desktop user systems because of simple absence of competitors. This fact allowed Intel to set the standards of new technologies integration, the changes extent, time limits of new processing units outcome, and, of course, of their price.


The price for premium class processing units by Intel, (the Skylake-X line is among them) is usually high. However, now Intel faces pressure from the opponents’ side, that’s why the price for LGA2066-microchips is pretty lower than usually.

If to compare with the processing units of Broadwell-E line with the same quantity of computing cores the cheapening turns to me more than 40 percents, and considering the initial price of HEDT-class CPU, it flows into some hundreds dollars.

At the same time appeared especially great-looking variants, which offer cheaper cores if to compare with other variants.

Deepcool, a Chinese supplier of various cooling systems, is going to release a follower of Big Frost model that saw the light last July. The new product has been given an attribute 'Extreme Edition' and is currently codenamed Big Frost Extreme Edition. This cooler takes the basis of the predecessor, though still features some unique options.



Therefore, Big Frost Extreme Edition is distinguished by a nickel coverage of copper heat pipes and polished base surface that is in direct touch with CPU lid. Deepcool equips its cooler with two 120 mm fans (UF120) which are monitored by PWM controller. Their maximal rotational speed is estimated at 1500 r/m. Both fans ensure the utmost CPU cooling and proper airflow distribution.


According to the preliminary data claimed by the manufacturer, Big Frost Extreme Edition will be compatible with such desktop platforms as AMD FM1, FM2, AM2/AM2+, AM3/AM3+ and Intel LGA2011, LGA1366, LGA115x.


One of the notable aspects ascribed to the …

Noctua Company has presented new fans for industrial using – 120-mm models Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-24V-2000 Q100 IP67 PWM and Noctua NF-F12 industrial PPC-24V-3000 Q100 IP67 PWM, and also 140-мм NF-A14 industrial PPC-24V-2000 Q100 IP67 PWM and NF-A14 industrialPPC-24V-3000 Q100 IP67 PWM. From the names of the items you can already see that they got a list of safety facilities due to IP67 certificate, in particular – protection from dust and damp, that will allow using them in more severe conditions.



120-mm models go with 105 х 105 mm fixation and are based on original bearing SSO2.The main difference is the greatest speed of rotation corresponding 2000 and 3000 rpm that brought its changes also in other specifications. So NF-F12 industrialPPC-24V-2000 Q100 IP67 PWM model has a speed factor of 450 – 2000 rpm, the produced air stream measures up 121,8 m3, and static pressure is 3,94 mm H2O. In its turn Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-24V-3000 Q100 IP67 PWM can display the …
