The Prolimatech (Black) Genesis is an innovative product
Abstract: Most CPU coolers focus on cooling only the CPU. If we are talking about an air cooler then there may be some residual benefits from the added airflow of the fan but this is purely an afterthought. If you're looking for something that can help cool down yo...

Abstract: A few weeks ago we made the move to socket 2011, and having undertaken a group test of some of the more popular all in one water cooling solutions on the market we figured it was aout time we tried out a few traditional air coolers on the toasty socket 20...
A quick look at our graphs can trick the less alert reader, since the Genesis Black Series is almost at the middle of the graph. But notice that the top results are all liquid coolers, and even compared to them, the cooling performance of the Genesis is n...

The Genesis is everything we expected from Prolimatech given their history of releasing high performance CPU coolers. This new product complements their growing lineup very well and is an excellent alternative to the Megahalems and Armageddon heatsinks...
