Do Intel’s Core i7-3000-series CPUs really need closed-loop liquid cooling? Today we're testing fourteen different LGA 2011-compatible air coolers on an overclocked Core i7-3960X in order to determine whose is the most effective.

英特尔的Core I7-3000系列CPU真的只需要水冷液体冷却器吗？今天，我们正在测试超频的Core i7-3960X 14款不同的LGA 2011的空气冷却器兼容性，以及确定其是最有效的。

It seems strange to us that Intel no longer includes a cooler with its fastest retail CPUs. This is, after all, the same company that seems to insist that we include our original boxed cooler any time we send in one of our purchased processors in for a warranty exchange. Instead, it now suggests that enthusiasts spend extra money on something that resembles Antec’s Kühler H20 620, but actually costs as much as the larger Kühler H20 920: Intel's own BXRTS2011LQ sealed liquid CPU cooling system.

INTEL不再为他最新最快的零售CPU带有散热器，这毕竟是同一家公司。这令我们感到非常的奇怪，似乎是在要求我们购买他们的盒装CPU，以换取保修。相反，它表明爱好者在一些类似Antec的KühlerH20620上花费一些额外的钱，但是事实上花费得比较多的是许多较大的Kühler H20 920：英特尔自己的BXRTS2011LQ密封液体的CPU冷却系统。

The rationale behind this move does make sense in that the Core i7-3960X and Core i7-3930K are multiplier-unlocked products that specifically target overclocking enthusiasts. Enthusiasts typically won’t settle for anything as underpowered as its RTS2011AC downdraft cooler, and Intel doesn’t think hanging two pounds of copper and aluminum up to six inches from the surface of a motherboard is a great idea. And while that kind of leverage tugging on your expensive motherboard is probably ill-advised under the harsh conditions of shipping a machine cross-country, systems that are handled gently and don't get moved often tolerate the weight of big, heavy coolers without a problem.

这一举动背后的理由确实让我们从这个意义上来说，酷睿i7-3960X和酷睿i7-3930K的倍频锁定产品是专门针对超频爱好者。爱好者通常不会解决任何类似于动力不足的RTS2011AC的吸式冷却器，并且英特尔并不认为在主板的表面上挂两磅高达六英寸的铜和铝是个好主意。虽然在苛刻的条件下，跨国运输一个这种杠杆拉着昂贵的主板的机器，可能是不明智的，轻轻地处理和不经常移动的系统不能忍受过重的重量和没有问题的沉重的冷却器。

We invited every major CPU cooler manufacturer (that's right, all of them) to show off their LGA 2011-compatible heat sinks, and fourteen responded with products ranging from $30 to $99. That takes either a great deal of confidence or a great leap of faith from the budget cooler companies, since everyone participating in this piece knew that we'd be basing our evaluation on overclocking. The wide price range allows us to really test how much we need to spend on cooling, and how much we can benefit from spending more money than necessary.

我们邀请每一个主要的CPU散热器制造商（对于所有的人来说这是正确的）来展示他们的兼容的LGA2011散热器，选择价钱从30美元到90美元不等的产品14款次。这不仅需要很大的信心，也需要对冷却器公司预算的非常的信仰，在这里，因为大家都参与展示，我们会在超频方面立足于我们的评价。这个全价范围允许我们真正地测试出我们需要在冷却器方面花费多少钱，我们可以从中受益而觉得有必要花费这些多钱。

Following up on our earlier picture story, here’s a brief overview of each cooler’s basic features, grouped by price first and arranged alphabetically. Please pay special attention to each cooler’s base height, which is measured with the intake fan at its highest position, along with thickness and offset. If the fan overhangs your DIMM slots, its base height (plus around 0.3" for the CPU/LGA package) represents your maximum supported DIMM height.

后面将延续我们早期的图画描述，这里有对每个散热器的基本功能的简要概述，首先按价格分组按字母顺序排列。请特别注意每个冷却器的基础高度，这是测量在最高位置的进气风扇，伴随着厚度和偏移。如果风扇突出DIMM插槽的末端，其底高度（加约0.3"CPU/LGA封装）代表你的最大的支持DIMM的高度。







Since higher fan speeds typically increase cooling capacity at low cost, some of the more expensive models attempt to provide the best balance of cooling and noise. Today’s tests includes both heat and noise measurements, and we’ll even compare heat to noise, heat to price, and heat/noise to price!

由于较高的风扇速度通常以较低的成本来增加冷却能力，一些更昂贵的机型尝试提供冷却和噪音的最佳平衡。今天的测试包括热量和噪音的测量，我们甚至会比较噪声的热量，热量价格，热/噪声价格

With glory shots covered in our previous picture story, today’s article focuses on installation, testing, and results. We begin with Akasa’s sharp-looking dual-fan Venom Voodoo.

我们为以前拍摄的图片展示引以为豪，今天的文章侧重于安装，测试和结果。我们开始选择具有AKASA的锋利的外观的双风扇的Venom Voodoo。



Akasa’s installation kit covers everything from AMD’s Socket AM2 to Intel’s latest LGA 2011, with screw-in standoffs separating today’s installation from the also-possible LGA 1366.

AKASA的安装套件包括了从AMD的Socket AM2到英特尔的最新的LGA2011处理器，从螺丝从支架上取下LGA 1366上现在的设备。



All the base plates go back in the box thanks to LGA 2011’s integrated cooler support, into which we threaded Akasa’s custom cooler standoffs.

然后回到盒子里的底板归功于集成的LGA2011的散热器的支持，其中是我们的螺纹AKASA的定制散热器支架。



The Intel-style top bracket is still required, and attached to the top of the Venom Voodoo’s base using four screws from the bottom.

英特尔风格的顶部支架仍然需要， 从Venom Voodoo以四个螺丝为基础的底部连接到顶部



We like simple installations, and were pleased to find that the cooler drops straight on at this point. The heat sink’s concave side should face the cooler’s intake fan, while the exhaust fan clips to the other side.

我们喜欢简单的装置，而且很高兴能够发现冷却器直线下降到这一点。散热器的凹槽应正视冷却器的进气风扇，而排气扇夹紧到另一边。



Yellow and black signify danger, which is why it’s frequently used by both bees and construction crews. In this case, the danger might be to your competitors as you show off the power of your overclocked Sandy Bridge-E-based PC!.

黄色和黑色表示危险，这就是为什么它经常被用于密封的地方。在这种情况下，在为你炫耀您超频的Sandy Bridge-E电脑的电源的时候，危险可能是你的竞争对手。

Arctic Cooling’s extremely simplified installation kit eliminates any LGA 1366 support plate in favor of LGA 2011-specific screws.

ARCTIC COOLING是极其简化的拆除任何LGA1366支持板的安装套件，有利于LGA2011的特定的螺丝。



This could have even been considered a Sandy Bridge-only package if not for the fact that the included LGA 1155 hardware also fits LGA 1156. Even still, we're ignoring both of those interfaces in today’s installation.

这可能甚至被认为是Sandy Bridge-only的包装，如果不是包括LGA1155配件的事实，也符合LGA1156平台。甚至，在如今的安装中，我们忽略了这些接口。



Metal spacers fit over the LGA 2011’s integrated screw posts (foreground) before attaching each of the Freezer i30’s two adapter brackets (background).

适合金属垫片的LGA2011的集成螺杆（）在每个冷却I30的两个适配器底座（背面）之前。



With its fan removed, the Freezer i30’s integrated cross bracket screws onto its adapter brackets.

去掉其风扇，散热器I30集成到其适配器底座内的交叉支架的螺丝。



Plugging in the fan’s motherboard lead and clipping it to the heat sink completes Arctic Cooling’s Freezer i30 installation.

为避免主板风扇堵塞裁剪散热器，Arctic的冷却器i30的安装。

Cooler Master didn’t have a retail package available when it sent this Hyper 212 Evo sample, but instead included just the cooler, an LGA 2011 installation bracket, and a small tube of thermal paste.

酷冷至尊并没有可用的零售包装当它发售这个超212EVO的样品的时候，但是只包括冷却器，LGA2011安装支架，和小管的散热膏。



The bracket folds to allow easy insertion between the heat sink’s base and fins.

支架折叠使得散热器的基底与鳍片之间容易插入



The unfolded bracket simply screws into Intel’s integrated LGA 2011 support plate. A steel pin in the base’s aluminum top plate engages groves on the bracket to keep the cooler from twisting.

折叠支架只需要螺丝固定在英特尔的集成LGA2011支撑板上。啮合基底的铝顶板中的在支架上的钢针以防止冷却器扭曲。



Plugging in the fan and clipping it to the cooler completes the installation of Cooler Master’s Hyper 212 Evo.

插入风扇和裁剪到冷却器底部的安装酷冷至尊的Hyper 212 Evo。

The Corator DS we received is an LGA 2011-specific model, containing nothing more than a set of nuts and standoffs to connect its universal-pattern Intel LGA brackets.

我们收到的Corator DS是一个2011年的具体型号的LGA，含有一套螺母和连接到通用模式英特尔的LGA底座的支架。



Standoffs screw into the LGA 2011 interface's included threads (foreground), and the cross brackets are then screwed onto them (background).

支架螺丝将采用LGA2011接口的线程（前置），交叉底座然后拧上（背板）。



The Corator DS’ factory-mounted bracket then screws onto the cross brackets from the kit. What appear to be spring-loaded screws are actually threaded tubes, with a hexagonal cap and a #2 Phillips socket atop each.

Corator DS工厂安装支架，用螺丝固定在套件的交叉底座。装有弹簧的螺钉实际上就是螺纹管，用六角帽和2号梅花固定在每个插座之上。



The Corator DS’ single fan clips between its twin radiators, and plugging it into the motherboard power header completes the installation process.

Corator DS夹在单风扇双散热器之间，插到主板电源接头，完成安装过程。



Corsair’s installation kit resembles Akasa’s, but with two key differences. First, a clip-style bracket is used for AMD interface compatibility.

Corsair的安装套件类似于AKASA的，但有两个主要区别。首先，剪贴式支架用于兼容AMD接口。



The second difference is far more pertinent to our installation: there are no special standoffs for use with Intel’s LGA 2011 integrated mounting plate. Instead, Corsair relies on a little-discussed feature of the LGA 2011 design to support this product:

第二个区别是我们的安装更为中肯：对于使用英特尔的LGA2011集成安装板来说没有特殊支架。相反，Corsair依赖于一个小的LGA2011支持这一产品的设计的讨论功能。



LGA 2011 motherboards still have LGA 1366 mounting holes. These holes are covered by the factory-installed gasket, but we can see the gasket peeking through the holes in the photo above. These holes are likely intended to prevent damage from overly-long mounting screws when using the integrated support plate.

LGA2011的主板仍然具有LGA1366的安装孔。这些小孔包括工厂的安装垫片，但是我们通过上面照片的孔能够看到垫片。当使用集成的支撑板的时候，这些小孔可能旨在防止过长的固定螺丝损坏。



Corsair told us to simply pop the bracket’s hold-down screws through the gasket, but these screws weren’t sharp enough to go through easily. We instead poked slits in the LGA 2011 gasket using a pocket knife, and inserted the mounting screws through those slits.

Corsair告诉我们，简单地通过垫片的螺丝弹出支架的下压，但是这些螺丝不够锋利，以致于不能轻松地通过。我们使用小刀挤出通过LGA2011的垫片缝，通过这些狭缝插入安装螺丝。



The screws now stand atop the LGA 2011 interface the same way they did on our LGA 1366 motherboards.

现在立足于LGA2011顶部的螺丝，采用了他们对我们的LGA1366主板的相同的接口方式。



As with Akasa, Corsair’s mounting bracket bolts atop the A70’s base using screws from its underside.

与Akasa相比，Corsair的安装支架在A70的螺栓基础之上，使用其底部的螺丝。



Nuts apply tension between the cooler’s bracket and support plate using those protruding screws.

在散热器的支架和使用这些突出的螺丝支撑板之间，螺母提供了张力。



Plugging the fans into their motherboard headers and clipping them onto the heat sink completes the A70's installation.

把接头插入到主板接口上，并加载好风扇，以此结束A70的安装。

Deepcool is a brand of Logisys, while Gamerstorm is a brand of Deepcool. Assassin it this product's model name. Although you can find this cooler by searching for either Deepcool or Gamerstorm, you’ll find more links to it using the Deepcool brand. The box even includes Deepcool’s domain, and we found the deepcool-us.com server more reliable than gamerstorm.cn.

deepcool是Logisys的一个品牌，，而Gamerstorm是Deepcool的一个品牌。Assassin是本产品的型号名称。虽然你可以找到由Deepcool或Gamerstorm搜索的冷却器，你会发现与使用Deepcool品牌更多的联系。盒子中甚至包括Deepcool的域名，我们发现deepcool us.com服务器比gamerstorm.cn更可靠。



The Assassin installation kit includes a support plate for Intel’s LGA 1155, 1156, and 1366, plusAMD’s Sockets AM2 and AM3. LGA 2011 users can throw the big plate back into the box, though, as separate screws and spacers allow the upper brackets to be screwed directly to their motherboard’s integrated support plate.

Assassin安装套件包括一个支持英特尔LGA1155，1156，1366的支撑板，再加上AMD的插槽AM2和AM3。LGA2011的用户可以将大的支撑板放入盒子中，虽然，作为单独的螺丝，垫片允许其主板集成的支撑板可直接拧上底座。



The split plastic spacers are too thick to fit properly, but a little wiggling achieves the approximate position (foreground). Each cross-bracket is then screwed onto the spacers (background).

分割开塑胶垫片，使其不至于太厚了而不能适应正常的使用，一点点的晃动实现了大致位置（前置）。每个交叉支架上都拧紧了垫片（背板）。



The Assassin heat sink’s hold-down is then attached to the cross brackets using spring-loaded screws. This process is slightly more cumbersome than competing solutions because the hold-down bracket isn’t attached to the cooler.

Assassin的散热器的下压采用弹簧加载螺钉连接到交叉底座。因为下压支架没有连接到冷却器，所以这个过程比其它竞争对手的解决方案稍微繁琐一些。



Plugging the fans into motherboard headers and clipping them onto the sink completes the Gamerstorm Assassin installation.

把接头插入到主板接口上，并加载好风扇，完成了Gamerstorm 的Assassin装置

Enermax's ETS-T40 fits Intel’s four-bolt LGA interfaces and replaces AMD’s four-bolt brackets. Four special standoffs add LGA 2011 to the support list.

ENERMAX的ETS-T40适合英特尔的四个螺栓孔的LGA接口并且取代了AMD的四个螺栓孔的底座。四个特殊的支架把LGA2011添加到支持列表。



Either set of cross braces (background) can be fit atop the LGA 2011 standoffs (foreground). Threaded studs on both sets of brackets engage clamping bolts for the top bracket.

可以适合任一组（背板）交叉支撑之上的LGA2011支架（前置）。底座两套螺纹钉试图夹紧螺栓的顶部支架。



Two pins in the top bracket position it precisely atop the ETS-T40’s base. We found that the two nuts that tighten this bracket cannot be completely tightened, though the space between it and the cross brackets is minimal.

两个引脚在顶部支架的位置，这正是在ETS-T40的基础之上。我们发现拧紧在此支架上的两个螺母不能完全收紧，虽然它和交叉底座之间的空间是最小的。



Plugging the fan’s PWM connector into the motherboard’s header and clipping it onto the cooler’s face completes the installation of Enermax’s ETS-T40.

风扇的PWM连接器插入到主板的接口，并把风扇添加到散热器上面，就完成了Enermax的ETS-T40的安装.



Gelid had not yet added the LGA 2011 installation kit to its GX-7 at the time we asked for review samples, but instead sent its $5 accessory kit for our installation.

在我们要求评测样品的时候，Gelid尚未把LGA2011安装套件加入到GX-7，而是为我们的安装发出5美元的附件包。两个底座附带GX-7的底座使用附带的螺丝。



Two brackets attach to the GX-7’s base using included screws.

使用包装里的螺丝把二个支架安装到GX-7的底座。



Spring-loaded screws then apply even tension to the brackets, using LGA 2011’s integrated cooler support plate.

对于底座来说，装有弹簧的螺丝适用于更紧的，使用集成的LGA2011散热器支持板块。



Connecting the fan to a motherboard and clipping it to the heatsink completes the Gelid GX-7 installation.

把风扇添加到散热器，并连接到主板接口上，完成了Gelid的GX-7的安装。



The SE2011 (Special Edition 2011) version of Noctua’s NH-D14 contains only the parts need to support Intel’s latest processor interface.

猫头鹰的NH-D14的SE2011（2011年版）版本，只包含需要支持英特尔最新的处理器接口的部分。



Universal-pattern Intel brackets mate to LGA 2011-exlusive studs using included nuts.

包装里带有LGA2011插槽的INTEL通用的螺母及其螺柱配件



Spring-loaded nuts assure even pressure as the NH-D14’s integrated clamping bracket screws onto each bracket’s studs.

弹簧加载的螺母保证即使在NH-D14的综合的压力下，在每个支架螺栓上都能夹紧支架螺钉。



Connecting the fans to our motherboard’s PWM headers and clipping them to the sink completes the installation of Noctua’s NH-D14 SE2011.

将PWM风扇的接头连接到主板上，并把风扇加载到散热器上。完成了猫头鹰的NH-D14 SE2011的安装。



Phanteks adds a diverse installation kit for Intel’s older LGAs and AMD’s four-bolt sockets, but LGA 2011 installation is made far easier through the use of its integrated support plate.

Phanteks为英特尔较旧的LGA和AMD的四个螺栓孔的插座增加了多样化的安装套件，但是，通过利用其集成的支撑板，使得LGA2011的安装容易得多。



Four standoffs (foreground) space two cross brackets (background) above the socket, with threaded studs on each cross bracket made to engage the cooler’s hold-down strap.

四个支架（前置）两两交叉在插座（背板）上，伴随着在每个交叉支架上的螺纹钉，使得冷却器压紧固架。



Bolting the PH-TC14PE’s hold-down strap to the base keeps it from flopping around when installing the heat sink. Spring-loaded nuts at the end of that strap provide even pressure across the base as they're screwed onto cross brackets.

在安装散热器时，螺栓连接PH-TC14PE压紧皮带到底部使它在周围掉落。弹簧加载核心在皮带的尾部甚至提供整个基础的压力，当它们被螺钉固定到支架上时。



Plugging the fan leads into motherboard headers and clipping them onto the radiators completes the installation process for Phantek’s PH-TC14PE.

连接风扇接头到主板的接口上，把风扇添加到散热器上，Phantek的PH-TC14PE完成了安装过程



Note that both fans are 140 mm (5.5 inches) and can be clipped at several heights. DIMM clearance required us to raise the fan around ?” from center. Depending on the height of your DIMMs, this option may extend the fan beyond the closing point of your case’s side panel.

请注意，这两个风扇是140毫米（5.5英寸）可以夹在几个高度上。DIMM内存空隙]要求我们将风扇从中心提高二分之一。根据您的DIMM的高度，此选项可能超出表壳的侧板风扇的闭合点。



Also note that the fan clips touch metal components on the back of our video card. We tilted the card slightly to eliminate potential short circuits, but you might not have this option in a chassis.

也要注意的是风扇触及金属部件到我们的视频卡背面。我们稍微倾斜卡以消除潜在的短路，但是你在一个机箱里可能没有这个选项。

SilenX's installation kit includes a top bracket that fits all popular desktop CPU sockets (LGA 775 to 2011, AMD Socket 939 to AM3+), a base plate that supports most popular performance-oriented processor interfaces (except for LGA 2011), and an extra set of mounting screws for LGA 2011’s integrated cooler support plate.

SilenX的安装套件包括一个适用于所有常见桌面的CPU插座的顶部支架（775至LGA2011，AMD Socket 939到AM3+），一个支持最流行的业绩导向处理器接口的基板（除了LGA 2011），和一套适用于集成的LGA2011散热器支持板的额外的安装螺钉。



SilenX's universal top bracket screws to the sides of the cooler with its ears pointing towards the bottom, as shown.

SilenX的通用的螺钉以螺丝固定在冷却器两侧的顶部支架，带有耳朵形样指向底部，如图所示。



The EFZ-120HA5’s top bracket is then attached directly to the LGA 2011 cooler support holes using spring-loaded screws. This is the point where everyone who doesn’t have LGA 2011 can start crying about all of the extra steps they're forced to endure.

EFZ-120HA5的顶部支架被直接连接到LGA2011散热器，支持螺丝孔里使用装有弹簧的。这是大家在没有LGA201时，能够开始运行的被迫忍受的额外步骤。



The most difficult-to-install part of the EVA-120HA5 kit is its fan. First, four T-shaped rubber tacks must be pulled through the fan's mounting holes (on its back side). The top of the T must then be slid into groves on the heat sink.

EVA-120HA5套件的最难安装的一部分是它的风扇。首先，四个T形橡胶钉子必须通过风扇的安装孔（在它背面）。T形橡胶钉的顶部必须滑进背面的簇里。



Unfortunately, the fan’s hole spacing is slightly wider than the heat sink’s height, leaving each T dangling precariously, as only half of its length is supported by fins. The Ts are soft, the fins are rough, so the lightweight fan isn’t likely to shift. But getting it centered takes a couple of minutes.

不幸的是，风扇的孔间距比散热器的高度稍微宽一些，使得每个T形晃动不稳定，它的一半长度是有鳍支持的。这些T形橡胶垫是软的，鳍是粗糙的，所以如此轻巧的风扇是不能转移的。但是让它成为中心需要一两分钟。

With its fan’s power lead plugged into our motherboard’s header, SilenX's EFZ-120HA5 installation is complete.

随着其风扇的电源线插到我们的主板接口，SilenX的EFZ-120HA5 安装完成。

The Archon SB-E includes the cooler and AMD/Intel universal installation kit from Thermalright’s Archon Rev.A, plus an LGA 2011-specific standoff set.

Archon SB-E包括冷却器和AMD/英特尔来自于Thermalright’s Archon Rev.A的通用安装套件，加上一个特定的LGA2011对峙集。



While other platforms get to this point using long nuts and a separate support plate, LGA 2011 standoffs screw directly to the motherboard’s integrated cooler mount.

而得到这一点的其他平台使用长螺母和一个单独的支撑板，LGA2011支架直接拧到主板上的集成冷却器挂载。



The Archon SB-E’s top bracket is installed onto standoffs using small screws.

Archon SB-E的顶部由小螺丝安装在支架上。



Self-adhesive vibration dampening pads are most easily stuck to the cooler before attaching it to the motherboard.

自粘减震垫在连接到主板之前很容易卡在冷却器上。



The cooler is then clamped down to the hold-down plate using an included strap.

冷却器被压板用一个包含的皮带包围。



Note that the strap only centers the CPU cooler front-to-back, leaving around ?” of side-to-side adjustability.

请注意，只有皮带集中在CPU冷却器的前端到后端，周围留下四分之一从一侧到另一侧的可调性。



The fan’s lead is then plugged into the motherboard, and the fan itself clipped to the heatsink. Note that the fan cannot be rotated 90° because its hole pattern is rectangular rather than square. No matter how far we slide the base, the Archon SB-E always hangs past our top video card slot. Thus, we were forced to test the cooler with our graphics card in slot position three, which means that it wasn’t tested in a standard configuration. We’ll make sure to mention this as we discuss our thermal findings.

风扇的引线被插入到主板，把风扇添加到到散热器。需要注意的是风扇不能旋转90度，因为它的孔的样式是长方形而不是正方形。无论我们将底座滑出多远，Archon SB-E过去总是挂着我们的顶级显卡插槽。这样，我们被迫在插槽位置三用我们的图形卡来测试显卡，这表示它不是标准配置测试。我们将确保，在我们讨论我们的散热调查结果的时候提到这一点。

Xigmatek uses the same bracket set as Enermax, though these are packed a little differently. Bushings for the aluminum pressure plate, for example, were found beside the plate rather than inside of it, and there’s no included wrench for the tension nuts.

虽然这些包装稍有不同，但是Xigmatek使用相同的支架设置类似于Enermax。衬套铝压盘，例如，被发现在钢板的旁边，而不是它的里面，而且对于紧张的螺母并没有扳手。



Xigmatek labels its Intel and AMD brackets, though the AMD brackets are also drilled to fit Intel socket hole spacing.

Xigmatek标签在它的英特尔和AMD托架上，虽然AMD的托架也钻出孔来适合英特尔插座的间距。



This is how Enermax's installation would have appeared at the half-way point, had we used the other bracket set (minus the Xigmatek and Intel labels, of course). Cross brackets are mounted to LGA 2011-specific standoffs using thumb nuts.

这就是 Enermax的安装怎样出现在中途，我们用其他支架设置（当然要去掉Xigmatek和英特尔的标签）。用拇指螺母将是自托架安装到具体的LGA2011支架上。





Zoom

With no wrench to play with, we tightened Xigmatek’s tension nuts using an electric screwdriver. The results are the same, with a slight space found between the cross brackets and the pressure plate when both nuts are fully tightened.

没有扳手使用，我们用电动螺丝刀收紧Xigmatek的张力螺母。当两个螺母完全拧紧的时候，随着在交叉支架和压盘之间发现的轻微的空间，结果是相同的。



Like SilenX, Xigmatek uses rubber tacks to hold its Venus XP-SD1266 fan and heat sink together. Xigmatek’s design is better in a couple ways, including the fact that the sink is actually tall enough to hold the fan. The tacks are also slotted and hooked on from the sides, rather than forced in from above and below.

像SilenX, Xigmatek使用橡胶钉来保持其Venus XP-SD1266 风扇和散热器一样。Xigmatek的设计在几个方式中是比较好的，包括接收器是高到足以容纳风扇的事实。大头钉也被从侧面开槽和挂钩，而不是被迫从上面和下面。

Zalman’s CNPS12X installation kit supports AMD’s Sockets AM2 through AM3+, in addition to Intel’s desktop LGA 775 through LGA 2011. LGA 2011-specific standoffs let you get rid of the irksome support plate in favor of the interface's integrated mounts.

Zalman's CNPS12X安装套件支持AMD的最新接口AM3+ 、AM2接口，除了支持LGA2011的英特尔台式机，还有LGA775。LGA2011特定支架让你摆脱令人厌烦的支撑板，是有利于接口的集成支架。



Standoffs are threaded in first (foreground), followed by cross brackets and thumb screws (background).

支架被首先线程化（前置），其次是十字托架和拇指螺丝（背板）。



At the edge of a factory-installed pressure bracket, factory-installed spring screws engage holes on the cross brackets to provide even pressure against the CPU.

在工厂安装的压力支架的边缘，工厂安装的弹簧螺钉努力在十字架托架上钻出孔来提供针对CPU的压力。



Ah, but wait…isn’t that backwards? Zalman designed the CNPS12X with ?” offset to clear the top of your case, your power supply, or whatever else is above your motherboard. Unfortunately, that causes the cooler to overlap our motherboard’s main graphics card slot.

啊，但是等等…是不是倒退了？Zalman设计了CNPS12X有四分之一的偏移空间在你的外壳的顶部，你的电源供应器，或者其他的在你的主板之上的部件。

We were left to either put our graphics card in the wrong slot and partially discredit the results (as we will with one other cooler) or mount it in such a way that some of the air pushed through it would already be warmed by our graphics card and power supply. Choosing the latter means that the test results represent a performance floor, by which we know it performs "at least this well."

我们留下的或者是将显卡放在错误的插槽和部分不可信的结果（因为我们还有其它冷却器），也或者是它以这样一种部分空气通过它的方式安装，已经被我们的显卡和电源弄热。选择后者的意思是测试结果代表性能面，其中我们知道执行“至少这一点上”。

A final installation issue that affected our build was that the CNPS12X overlapped our secondDIMM slot and was just low enough to the motherboard that the fan tips barely touched our 1.55” DIMMs. Though we were able to make things work with a little adjustment, the solution wasn't long-term enough that we'd recommend this cooler to anyone with modules even a hair taller than 1.50”.

最后的安装为了确保影响我们的评测的是CNPS12X，重叠了我们的第二个DIMM插槽，对于主板来说这足够低，以至于风扇提示几乎没有触及到我们的1.55DIMMS。虽然我们能够令它们的运行有一点点的调整，但是解决方案是不够长远的，以致于我们不会向任何人推荐这种甚至比1.50高一根头发模块的冷却器。



Zalman’s ZM-STG2 thermal paste is used in this test not to favor its cooler, but because Zalman has long been our thermal paste provider. It works equally well with other cooler brands, and settling on a single substance reduces variability in testing.

在本次测试中使用Zalman的ZM-STG2散热膏不利于其它的冷却器，但是因为Zalman是我们长期以来的散热膏供应商。它同样适用于其他散热器品牌，而且实现了了单一物质，减少了测试中的变异。



Our CPU and voltage regulator pull around 300 W at full load at this O/C, using an old C0 stepping Core i7-3960X at 4.60 GHz and 1.40 V. We used this specific processor because it’s the one we can most easily afford to lose (due to heat damage) after long bouts of overclocking.

我们的CPU和稳压器在O/C拉满负荷300瓦左右，使用一个旧的CO将Core i7-3960X加强到4.60 GHz and 1.40 V。我们用这种特定的处理器，因为它是一个我们在超频长期较量后几乎很容易丢掉的处理器（由于热损伤）。



Twelve threads of Prime95 provide 100% load. We were forced to test noise at extremely close distances to stay within our meter’s calibration range.

12 Prime95的线程提供100%的加载。我们被迫在极近的距离测试噪声来保持在我们的仪表的校准范围内。

Noctua and Zalman are in a dead heat at the top of our CPU temperature chart, and its here where many readers will remind us that Zalman’s cooler was mounted backwards (where its intake air might have been slightly warmer).

猫头鹰和Zalman在我们的CPU温度图标的顶端是不分胜负的，在这里，许多读者会提醒我们Zalman的散热器的安装是反向的（其进气可能已略有回暖）。

We’d give Zalman the benefit of the doubt if the fitment issue wasn't such a concern. Besides, some builders (and some cooler manufacturers) prefer to see chassis exhaust fans mounted as an extra intake, though we can only suggest doing that with cases that have extremely good top-panel exhaust.

我们觉得如果这种安装并不是有利于Zalman的评测好处加分。另外，一些制造商（和冷却器制造商）更愿意看到机箱排气扇安装一个额外的摄入，虽然我们只能建议用这样的有极为良好的顶级面板排气的例子来这样做。



SilenX’s temperature here has to be recorded as an estimate as a result of processor throttling. You see, the displayed temperature is an average for all cores, and this processor begins throttling at 90° C. Without the ability to achieve lower (and less realistic) ambient temperatures, we simply couldn’t keep the warmest core below its throttle point.

SilenX这里的温度不得不作为一个处理器节流的估计而被记录。你看，显示的温度对所有的核心来说是一个平均值，并且这种处理器在90°C开始节流。如果没有能力达到较低的环境温度，我们根本无法保持其最持续的核心温度低于其节流点。

After gauging the amount of time it took to reach throttle temperature at various ambient temperatures, we looked at our rough time to ambient temperature curve and estimated that this cooler could only keep our system at full speed with a room temperature below -4° C.

在计量时间之后，它在不同的环境温度达到了节流点温度，我们看了我们粗略的时间，对于温度曲线，估计该冷却器只能在低于零下4度的温度下，让我们的系统全速运行。

Enermax's ETS-T40 similarly required an unrealistically-low ambient temperature of 20° C at these overclocked settings. We say unrealistic because we never cool our offices below 22° C in the summer, and even our coolest cases are slightly warmer inside. Yet, we can say with certainty that the ETS-T40 is at least good enough to use with this processor at a lower frequency, since it barely crossed the borderline while using a fairly high 1.40 V core voltage and a full CPU load.

在这些超频设置上，Enermax的ETS-T40同样需要一个低得不切实际的20摄氏度的环境温度。
我们说不现实，因为在夏天的时候，我们从来没有让我们的办公室低于22摄氏度，即使是在我们的最冷的情况下，室内略有回暖的情况下。然而，我们可以肯定地说， ETS-T40在使用该处理器在一个较低的频率下至少是不够好的，以为它几乎没有交叉的边缘，同时使用一个相当高的1.4V的内核电压和一个完整的CPU负载。




Thermalright offers the lowest fan speed, so we expect it to give off the least amount of noise. Yet, the same product manages to achieve respectable cooling performance in the middle of the pack thanks to its fan’s enormous size. Unfortunately, those same larger dimensions forced us to move our graphics card to a different slot. Proper fitment is an important variable, so this small configuration change negates any possibility for a cooling-to-noise award. As with SilenX, Thermalright’s cooling performance is simply an estimation.

Thermalright提供最低的风扇转速，所以，我们期望它发出的噪音量最少。然而，由于其风扇的巨大规模，同一产品的管理令人佩服地完成了在套件中间的冷却性。不幸的是，那些相同的大尺寸迫使我们将我们的显卡移动到一个不同的插槽。适当的装置是一个重要的变数，所以这个小配置的变化为噪声奖否定了任何可能性。至于用SilenX， Thermalright的冷却性能是一个简单的估计。

Single-fan coolers have the lowest noise at any given speed, since each doubling of identical sound sources adds an extra 3 db to the reading (in audio theory). That same theory explains why Arctic Cooling and SilenX’s mid-speed individual fans take second and third place in silence, ahead of Zalman’s three low-speed fans.

单散热风扇在任何给定的速度具有最低的噪声，因为每个增加一倍的相同的声源，增加一个额外的3 dB读数（在音频理论方面）。这个相同的理论解释了为什么Arctic冷却器和SilenX的中速个体风扇默默地占据了第二个和第三个地方，领先于Zalman的三个低转速风扇。



We’d consider anything below 30 db in open air to be quiet, mostly because we use quiet cases to cut back on ambient noise even more. True seekers of silence might settle for nothing less than Thermalright’s Archon, however, even though it doesn’t fit our motherboard properly.

我们会考虑在任何户外保持在低于三十分贝的安静度，这主要是因为我们使用安静的外壳以减少环境噪音。真正的安静的风扇可能解决小于Thermalright的Archon的噪音，尽管如此，即使它不符合我们适当的主板。



The Archon SB-E is so quiet, in fact, that it tops our Acoustic Efficiency charts, in spite of its mid-pack thermal performance. At the other end of the chart, the SilenX EFZ-120HA5’s cooling performance can't compensate for its second-place noise level.

Archon SB-E是如此的安静，事实上，它盖住了我们的声波效率图表，虽然有它的包装中的热性能。在图表的另一端，SilenX EFZ-120HA5的散热性能不能弥补其第二位的噪音水平。

The top three cooling performers, in order, are Noctua and Zalman, followed by Phanteks. The three coolers with the highest cooling-to-noise ratio are from Thermalright, Zalman, and Noctua. Wouldn’t it be nice if one of these companies could also top our cooling-to-price chart?

前三名冷却表演，首先是猫头鹰和Zalman，其次由Phanteks。这三种带有冷却信噪比的冷却器是来自于Thermalright，Zalman和猫头鹰。如果这些公司也可以给我们提供其价格图表，岂不是更好？



Alas, the least-expensive models take that prize. All three of the best cooling-per-dollar contenders use mid-speed fans, and only Corsair needs a pair of fans to achieve this value rating.

唉，最便宜的模型采取那种奖项。所有三个最好的冷却器竞争者使用中速风扇，只有Corsair需要一对风扇来实现这一价值的评价。

If we exclude Enermax from this overclocking-oriented cooler comparison due to its relatively low thermal performance, we’re left with the 31 db Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo battling Corsair’s A70. A temperature difference of only 1° C certainly makes it hard to argue against Cooler Master’s lower noise level, yet price parity will probably push many enthusiasts to take that 1° to the bank.

如果我们排除Enermax从这个面向超频冷却器的比较，是因为其相对较低的热性能，我们只剩下31分贝的Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo对抗Corsair’s A70。一个只有1摄氏度的温差当然使得它很难反对Cooler Master的噪音水平，当然这个1摄氏度的比价可能会推动许多爱好者来购买。

It’s at this point where we must wonder what would happen if we compare acoustic efficiency to price.

如果我们比较价格的声学效率，在这一点上，我们必须知道会发生什么。



Cooler Master wins this time, and by a wider margin. If we were basing this review on Intel’s upcoming Core i7-3820, we might even hand out a value award and be done with the story.

Cooler Master在这一次赢了，而且利润更大。如果我们在英特尔即将推出Core i7-3820的审查基础上，我们甚至可能会派发一个价值奖项并完成这个报道。

But we’re not using a low-cost processor, and prices on Intel’s six-core models justify higher standards of cooling and noise. Putting cost aside, we like the low temperature and noise of Zalman’s CNPS12X. But it also doesn’t fit our motherboard in the desired orientation, or even provide proper memory clearance for our 1.55” tall DIMMs. Instead of using the CNPS12X backwards or trying to remove its fans and face them the other way, and then installing shorter memory that we didn’t even want, we’re forced to consider Noctua’s second-place performer as a perennial champion ever since its took the performance lead two years ago.

但我们并没有使用一个低成本的处理器，和英特尔的六核心型号的价格证明更高的散热和噪音标准。预留成本，我们喜欢这样的低温和Zalman的CNPS12X的噪音。但在所需的方向上，它也不会不适合我们的主板，或者甚至为我们的1.55高的DIMM提供适当的内存空隙。而不是使用CNPS12X反向或者试图删除它的风扇和他们面临的其他方式，然后我们仍然不愿意安装较短的内存，作为一个常年的冠军，自从其性能领先于两年前，我们不得不考虑第二位猫头鹰表现。  



The problem with “Best of” awards is that the best often changes before we can even get a review published. Determining that something's the best also means we have to test all of its competition. If we trust that Noctua’s competitors put forth their best efforts for this comparison, two years of performance leadership make the NH-D14 deserving of our highest honor.

在我们可以发表评论之前，“最佳”奖的问题是是最经常变化的。确定什么是最好的也意味着我们要测试其所有的竞争者。如果我们相信，为了这个比较，猫头鹰的竞争对手尽了自己最大的努力，两年的性能领导使得NH-D14值得获得我们的最高的荣誉。

But how valuable is this award, really? The NH-D14 just earned this editor’s very first “Best of Tom's Hardware” in the award's four-year history!

但可贵的是这个奖，真的吗？ 在这个奖的四年历史中，NH-D14刚刚赢得了这个编辑的第一个“汤姆硬件的最佳”奖项。
