Most of you may be not very familiar with the 'CooLink' retail brand. However, you have seen many top-performing heat-sinks developed and manufactured by the company under various brand names that have succeeded in the worldwide market. 'CooLink' is the retail brand of Kolink International Corporation, a company which partners with Noctua for R&D. As you realize, we have great expectations about the 'Corator DS' CPU cooler we have today in our labs.

The Corator DS the latest and probably biggest cpu cooler from CooLink. The device is featuring Coolink's 'Gapless Direct Touch' (GDT) technology that allows for an all copper contact area. The company claims that the Corator DS brings the concept of direct contact cooling to the next level by further improving heat transfer: Four 8mm heatpipes, a dual fin stack design and a PWM controlled SWiF2 120mm fan are all contributing to an optimal balance between cooling performance and quiet operation. Let's hope that the measurements with the cooler installed on our test system will be also encouraging.
