Scythe Kaze Master Fan Controller/Temperature Monitor
"Scythe has long been known for their CPU coolers and fans, something they make quite a wide variety of. To accompany this great cooling line, they have now introduced the Kaze Master, a really stylistic looking fan controller and temperature monitor. Coming in two different varieties, a 5.25" model that can control four fans or a 3.5" model that can control two fans. It's time to see if this baby packs more than just good looks!"

Two Big Top-downers: Big Typhoon VX & Xigmatek HDT-D1284
"For the past couple of years, tower heatpipe heatsinks have dominated CPU cooling, taking all the glory and accolades. Does this mean traditional top-down coolers are dead? They certainly aren't as popular as they were a few years ago, but they remain. Motherboards are still designed with the expectation of tertiary airflow over the board components near the CPU, specifically the power regulation circuitry. MOSFET heatsinks are now a common sight on higher-end mainboards and they aren't just for show. For users concerned about these components, their lifespan, efficiency, and general well-being, a top-down cooler is an ideal choice, even at the cost of higher CPU temperatures."
