Motherboard Chipset Cooler Roundup

Six heatsinks, one chipset, and a truckload full screws. We mount these little metal blocks onto a hot nForce4 motherboard to find out which one cools best and is most SLI friendly.

that result on the zalman is amazing, if that thing would be stock on the DS3 it would be perfect

Introduction

The market for third party chipset coolers has not been a very big one, but not with hotter motherboard chipsets from NVIDIA its gaining popularity

not=> now?

I think, the popularitiy comes more from noisy chipset fans and crappy stock solutions than just from hot chipsets.

most Core 2 come with passive cooling so that might reduce demand

very first paragraph:
* "listing" -> "listening"
* "this chipset" is kinda strange when not a specific model is specified, "the latest chipsets" would be better
* "or relied on a small fan that had to spin incredibly and was very noisy." I reckon the word 'fast' was unconsciously dropped somewhere

second paragraph
"ruining" should be dropped altogether in the sentence

page 2, first paragraph:
"took quite some effort", bad use in this context, should be "put quite some effort"

page 3, second paragraph:
"is fairly easy to the use", drop 'the'
third paragraph: would rephrase the first sentence to 'So switching to the Blue Ice Pro is a bigger change than the suffix alone would make you believe.'

page 5, first paragraph:
* "Jing Ting as a company may not sound very familiar in your ears" litteral translation from dutch, better would be "Jing Ting is not a company most are familiar with"
* "Don't mind going .." is the wrong saying in this context, correct would be "Don't bother going .."

bleh

Nice review, but i guess the only cooler that would work on my mobo will be the Jing Ting.

Btw, what's aluminum ? Do you, by any chance, mean aluminium ?
