Daily Reviews Summary 20/03/12

The Freezer A30 heatsink is an updated version of the AC Freezer 13 Pro, but this time around it's shed its copper base plate for bare heatpipes and had its mounting brackets restricted to AMD processors. The Freezer A30 stands 162mm tall, is built around a familiar tower-style-exposed-heatpipe-heatsink format and weighs a hefty 905 grams. The cooler comes with a single 120mm PWM fan which is mounted to the aluminum fin stack via a muscular plastic fan shroud. No additional fans can be mounted.

It is the smaller brother of the 550 that we turn to today - the 450. An entry level midi tower with foam dampening properties to continue the pursuit of silence by keeping noise to a minimum and inside a simple but thoughtful design.

Performance wise...well, you're getting what you pay for. You can't expect to pay $129 and get a top notch, current gen, GPU. However, the HD 7750 is perfectly capable of playing most any game currently out with fairly decent settings. Not only that, but I did run a few eyefinity benchmarks and, if you turn the settings down a bit, the card delivers borderline playable framerates, spread across three 1920x1080 screens. So in reality, this card is capable of turning your HTPC into a light and silent gaming machine!
