Heavy duty cooling solutions from MACS Technology
Although the manufacturer's name may be completely unknown to the domestic public, this fact does not deduct anything from the value of their latest processor coolers.
At first glance, we don’t find anything special on the ribs made of aluminum, but if we take a closer look at them, we can notice that there is a small tile at the bottom from which wires start towards the top of the radiator. This is because the product uses a Peltier cooling solution, so we can be part of this spectacle. I would not elaborate on its working principle, for those who are more interested in the topic, I recommend the Refrigeration Academy the relevant chapter.
The novelties are produced in four versions, for both AMD (Socket 754 and 939) and Intel (Socket 478) central units, which are codenamed MA-7110, MA-7111, MA-7120 and MA-7121. Apart from the clamping, the difference between them is that one of the pair has a "power source converter" card with a PCI interface, while the other two have the same task performed by a panel that can be installed in a 5,25-inch space. Of course, the latter can display different temperatures and even sound an alarm in case of an emergency.
The term heavyweight mentioned in the title is unfortunately no joke, as each piece weighs 640 grams each, which is no small load on the motherboard and clamp. Unfortunately, in addition to being cumbersome, even loud, the fan must run to achieve proper efficiency. At 45 degrees Celsius, the blades hiss at 3000 rpm, which means a noise load of 32,7 dB (A) for our ears. Between 30 and 45 degrees Celsius, the same values are 2400 RPM and 28,5 dB (A). At 30 degrees Celsius, the fan slows to 1800 rpm, producing a totally tolerable noise level of 23,2 dB (A). According to the manufacturer's description, if the processor cools down to a cooler temperature, the choke will stop to prevent condensation and will not turn on again until the CPU's heat output rises again.
