In September the ARCTIC Co. has introduced its ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports Edition cooling device, which costs €49.99. At present its model range is widened by a more affordable, however, powerful version, which goes under the ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE name and is priced at €39.99 (Amazon now puts an introductory price of €29.99).

 

The specialty is designed with four 6 mm nickel-plated copper heat pipes in direct contact with the heat transfer processor surface, an aluminium heatsink (49 fins 0.5 mm thick) and a 120 mm ARCTIC BioniX F120 fan, based on the FDB bearing. Its blades rotation velocity is in the range of 200–1,800 rpm, and the noise level does not exceed 0.5 sone.

 

The ARCTIC Freezer 33 eSports ONE construction is 150 х 123 х 88 mm in size and weighs 676 g. In the meanwhile, its capacity is up to 320 W, allowing it to be installed on processing units with the 200 W TDP. AMD Socket AM4 as well as Intel Socket …

Zalman, a highly-acclaimed designer of miscellaneous hardware pieces, has elaborated three completely new series of low-noise fans: ZM-FDB(SF), ZM-LED(SF) and ZM-Plus(SF). The ‘triple’ embraces the models of 80 mm, 92 mm and 120 mm dimensions. The fans do not support PWM technology, thus feature a stable rotational speed. The most peculiar feature is low noise level (not more than 23 dB), despite the range of speed.



Zalman ZM-FDB(SF) are characterized by the implementation of high-quality fluid-dynamic bearings. Their lifespan is estimated as 150.000 hours. The other two fan series – Zalman ZM-LED(SF) and Zalman ZM-Plus(SF) — involve long-life bearings, which are thought to be quite reliable and effective. Their framework features dust-repelling mechanisms and this promotes for the elongated lifespan.


Certainly, the ‘triple’ enjoys similar features. For instance, all the fans employ an original Shark Fin blades design. It allows for the decrease of airflow …

Parallel to the CMT330 framework, the FSP company releases the CMT520 PC case, representing the mid-tower type. Dimensions and inner structure of the two frameworks are almost identical, however CMT520 doesn’t have sections of the 5.25-inch size.

 

Similar to CMT330, the specialty is performed in black, but for one side panel, which is entirely made out of tempered glass. This material is also utilized in the front panel, which hides three 120 mm fans behind it. The 4th propeller is mounted at the rear.

 

The FSP novelty is believed to be compatible with motherboards of the typical size up to E-ATX. Apart of that, it offers room for eight expansion cards, the max length of which is 423 mm, two 3.5-inch and four 2.5-inch drives. The CPU cooling system height is not to overcome 163 mm. The upper and the front sides may hold liquid cooling system heatsinks of the 360 mm length. The I/O panel contains two USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports.
