Thermaltake iXoft - Notebook Cooling

Posted by askthermal | 3:47 PM

Product Overview

Weight is a major concern for those who buy a laptop. Since it’s supposed to be carried around, it has to be as lightweight as possible. Most people don’t realize however that heat is also an issue. Notebooks have a tendency to get really hot during prolonged usage. There are several cooling solutions on the market, most of them USB-powered fan units that are both heavy and noisy (click here to take a look on Cooler Master NotePal cooler and see what we are talking about). iXoft, a new product from Thermaltake, is neither, relying on simple chemistry to cool a laptop and prevent the user from feeling its heat.

The iXoft Notebook Cooler is like a table mat with thermal capacity. Lightweight and bendable, it supports notebooks ranging from 12” to 17”. It is made of two layers of fabric with a chemical solution sandwiched in-between: sodium sulfate decahydrate (Na2SO4.10 H2O), also known as Glauber’s Salt, a heat storing substance used on hot/cold gel packs. The surface is grainy because of the sodium sulfate decahydrate crystals inside. Underneath it has a suede coating that is very comfortable and soft when resting on a user’s lap. The sandwich edges are reinforced with thick embroidery so the Glauber’s Salt – who liquefies under intense heat (more about that later) – doesn’t spoil all over the pad.

Product Overview

An Extremely Quiet Twin Tower Cooling Solution
To offer the enthusiast’s market an ultimate CPU cooler for extreme overclocking, Freezer XTREME, a Extremely Quiet Twin Tower CPU cooler especially designed for gamers to fulfill their needs.

Main Features:

- Unmatched cooling performance – 160 Watts
- Unique twin tower 102-fin heat sink design
- Effective heat dissipation via 4 double-sided heatpipes
- 1 ultra quiet 120mm PWM fan
- Patented fan holder eliminates the buzzing sounds
- Voltage regulators and north bridge cooling
- Pre-applied MX-2
- 6 Years Warranty

Extremely Cool
The unique twin tower heatsink consists of 102 fins, which significantly increase the heat dissipation area to distribute massive amount of heat faster and more efficient. The 120mm PWM fan which combined with 8 heatpipes (4 double-sided) and the twin tower heatsink not o&ampshynly transfers heat from the CPU, but it also cools the RAM, north bridge and voltage regulators. Together with the pre-applied MX-2, the Freezer Xtreme offers performance far beyond stock coolers and achieves 160 Watts cooling capacity – an excellent thermal management that boosts overclocking to a new level.
Product Spesification

Fan speed 800 – 1500 RPM (controlled by PWM)
Air flow 35.7CFM / 60.7 m3/h
Maximum Cooling Capacity 160 Watts
Weight 608g

Noise Level
The noise level is measured in Sone (loudness) instead of dB (sound intensity).
The loudness depends upon ears response curves and tells you exactly, how bothering a certain noise is.


Cooling Performance
All Pentium 4 and Core 2 CPUs have an integrated &ampquotThermal Throttling" i.e. in case of overheating risk, the number of working cycles is reduced, thus lowering performance however preventing the CPU from overheating. Therefore to reduce the noise level, a CPU cooler can work at its limit and this way drop the noise level significantly. The Thermal Throttling gets usually activated at 85&ampdegC core temperature.


Good system ventilation is crucial for the CPU cooling. The temperature inside the PC case should never exceed 38&ampdegC. Therefore we recommend to use a controlled case fan, like the ARCTIC Fan PWM series.


Thermal Compound
We ship our coolers with our latest ARCTIC MX-2 thermal compound pre-applied. MX-2 is a high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance compound that optimizes thermal dissipation. It is ideally suited for use in CPU and GPU cooling where thermal conductivity is a major factor.

Deciding on the right case to buy is a very personal decision. How big should it be? What cooling system do I want to use? What features do I need? What color should I get? These aren’t questions anyone can answer for you. However, we can try to guide you to making the best choice.

While looks are subjective, cooling, noise, and usability certainly aren’t. Every case has strengths and likewise, flaws. If you’re looking for the perfect case with all the bells and whistles and looks to top it off, you probably aren’t going to have much luck. Unless you can make your own from scratch, you’re going to have to make some scarifies.

That being said, we’re not living in an age where enthusiasts are ashamed to have their rig sitting on their desk. You can buy stylish and flashy cases without breaking the bank. Innovation has transformed the way components are made to how computers are built. Newer features have made it easier enough for pretty much anyone to buy their own parts off the shelf and put together something that works, something we can all value.

Thermaltake is a company that has been around for a long time. They are probably best known for their cooling solutions power supplies, but the company’s no stranger when it comes to quality PC enclosures. Recently, the company has had success with products from their Tsunami and Armor series, so naturally the company hopes to achieve success with their new Soprano DX chassis.

This case seems to bring a good amount of features to the table, and it looks great on paper, so let’s so how it performs.

Product Overview
Xaser is a familiar name when it comes to cases and Thermaltake products. The Xaser has gone over so well that Thermaltake has redesigned it once again. After four generations of the Full Tower Xaser, Thermaltake gave the Mid Tower a shot in addition to the Full Tower case. The Thermaltake Xaser VI MX VH9000BWS case is certainly unique in design and sort of brings me back to trigonometry with all of the external design.
