Competition – Winter 2017: Chance to win some interesting pieces!

How it works...

Thanks to the support of Gigabyte, Akasa, Noctua, and EKWB, you have the opportunity to compete for prizes at HWC for the first time. To make things interesting, we chose atypical components from various “worlds“. Mini-STX motherboard, the large liquid cooling kit, Noctua NH-D15 with the unconventional colour coating Chromax… or would you prefer a passive case?

Basic rules

The rules are very simple. Share something about HWCooling and let us know about it at info@hwcooling.net – subject: “HWC Competition, Winter 2017”. You can send a URL (of a post from some forum for example) or a screenshot and so on. The more creative, the better. Anything that mentions our-your magazine.

We would like to emphasize that quantity is not important, and obvious spamming can put you out of the game. Of course, the intention is to spread the word about HWCooling to more people, but in a beneficial and pleasant way. So try to find related topics and share some of our tests and reviews. We recommend previous extra tests (September, October).

The prizes

  • Mini-STX motherboard, the smallest format for any Skylake/Kaby Lake processor (with TDP up to 65 W) – Gigabyte GA-H110MSTX-HD3.
  • Passive case for selected Mini-ITX boards – Akasa Euler MX with 80W power supply.

   

   

The first two can choose

From the received messages that meet the above conditions, we will pick three random lucky people on December 24 and contact them via email. The first winner can choose from Gigabyte GA-H110N, Akasa Euler MX, and Noctua NH-D15. The second winner can choose from the remaining two products, and the third will receive what’s left.

It is not going to be just about luck. The competitor with the most effective sharing will get the main prize – EKWB EK-KIT X360.

Flattr this!

Akasa Gecko Pro: An SSD cooler with a “different” orientation

The successor to the SSD cooler, which didn’t have much competition in its price range. That’s one way to introduce the Gecko Pro, which is a bit more expensive, but also more refined (in terms of mounting as well). And it also has a distinctive feature that clearly distinguishes it from other coolers – the fins are not longitudinal (as is common), but in width. The price to cooling performance ratio is again excellent. Read more “Akasa Gecko Pro: An SSD cooler with a “different” orientation” »

New dual-tower Akasa cooler, the Soho H7, comes after 10 years

To celebrate the launch of the Akasa Alucia H4 and Soho H4 coolers with Plus attributes (i.e. finally with LGA 1700 support), the chunky dual-tower cooler was also featured in one image. All its parameters are already known. After a very long time, the most powerful Akasa cooler to date – the Venom Medusa model – will see a successor. Akasa’s materials state that this cooler is optimized for the most powerful Intel Alder Lake processors. Read more “New dual-tower Akasa cooler, the Soho H7, comes after 10 years” »

Akasa Alucia SC12: Efficient shapes vs. soft material

Few fans can wow us at first glance the way the Alucia SC12 from Akasa has done. Its build looks quite compelling in this price range. However, on a second look after detailed testing comes some sobering. But even though the high (even exorbitantly high) expectations have not been met, in some aspects the Alucia SC12 beats attractive, similarly cheap competitors in some situations.
