Arctic GmbH, formerly known as Arctic Cooling, [1] is a German, Swiss-founded manufacturer of computer cooling components, mainly CPU and graphics card coolers, [2] case fans and thermal compound. Since 2010, Arctic expanded its business by starting a range of products to cater other consumer demands beyond that of computer cooling hardware.
To most enthusiasts, Arctic is best known for their Freezer line of CPU coolers as well as their thermal compound called MX-2 and MX-4. [2] The Freezer line of coolers is available in different fan speed, cooling capacity and motherboard compatibility [3] to cater the needs of different type of users from HTPC users to enthusiasts and overclockers.
List of graphics card cooling manufacturers: Arctic GmbH; Cooler Master; Corsair; Deepcool "v series" EVGA Corporation; GELID Solutions; Zotac; Computer monitors.
Cooling air temperature can be improved with these guidelines: Supply cool air to the hot components as directly as possible. Examples are air snorkels and tunnels that feed outside air directly and exclusively to the CPU or GPU cooler. For example, the BTX case design prescribes a CPU air tunnel. Expel warm air as directly as possible.
Flip chip packaging allows far better cooling of the die by flipping it and exposing it directly to the cooling solution. ATI thus could achieve higher clock speeds. Radeon 9700 PRO was launched clocked at 325 MHz, ahead of the originally projected 300 MHz. With a transistor count of 110 million, it was the largest and most complex GPU of the time.
The Radeon HD 3800 series was based on the codenamed RV670 GPU, packed 666 million transistors on a 55 nm fabrication process and had a die size at 192 mm 2, with the same 64 shader clusters as the R600 core, but the memory bus width was reduced to 256 bits.
It is the first reference card to utilize a closed looped liquid cooler. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] At 11.5 teraflops of computing power, the R9 295X2 was the most powerful dual-gpu consumer-oriented card in the world, until it was succeeded by the Radeon Pro Duo on April 26, 2016, which is essentially a combination of two R9 Fury X (Fiji XT) GPUs on a ...
Zalman's primary competitors include Antec, Thermaltake, Spire, Cooler Master, and Arctic. Zalman has also developed a fanless case. It uses a fin-based design to dissipate heat with heat-generating components like the graphics card and motherboard transferring heat to the case body via a system of heat pipes and radiators.
