    Arctic Cooling keeps it chilly

    Keeping your Pentiums and Athlons cool, Arctic Cooling have the Alpine heatsink & fan (HSF). This HSF comes in two variants. The Alpine 7 will fit Intel CPUs, including the Pentium D up to model 840. Meanwhile, the Alpine 64 caters for Semprons and Athlons up to the X2 3200+.

    So will the new GPU coolers still be exhausting hot air out of the back of the case?

    doesn't look like it, be interesting to see one of these compared to the existing cooler inside a case not on a workbench to see if the old exhaust system is better.

    yep the new arctic cooling coolers x1 and x2 exhaust the heat straight down into the mobo

    a massive backwards step imo

    I have seen reviews of the ATI version so far.

    On a XL here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/...ling/AcceleroX2

    On a XT here: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=...=read&arc_id=63

    They do provide better performance than the stock coolers and are much, much quieter. However, air is recycled around the case instead of being exhausted, which is a great shame.

    My AC freezer 64 pro on my DFI ultra-d (NF4) blows heat up to the top of the system, and is therefore expeled through either the PSU or my 120mm fan so it works well for me.
