Samuel 17 is easy to use, simple to assemble and install and can get into tighter positions and locations that most of the coolers I have tested to date. I tried to give the perspective from both sides of the equation. The cooler is warm with a sile...
The Prolimatech Samuel 17 is the only cooler in our test field that doesn't include a fan, which would make a hefty price harder to justify if this heat sink was still readily available. It doesn't seem to be, though.If you are able to get your hands on o...
Compact and small, Attractive, Good Build quality, Full tube of included thermal paste
Heatsink should give more clearance, needs to be raised higher, Mediocre cooling performance, many better options for the same price, No included fan, expensive to buy your own, Subjective Issues, Fan overhang on the heatsink – cools VRM or wasted airflow
The Samuel 17 is Prolimatech's first venture into the low profile CPU cooler market and it isn't an good start. The Samuel 17 just doesn't square up with the competition and is left trailing in the distance. In providing six heat pipes on such a small he...
With the Samuel 17, Prolimatech shows a perfectly manufactured and beatifully crafted low profile cooler The fact that the block only measures 45 millimeters in height makes it compatible to all HTPCs cases as well as small desktops From such a compact c...
The Samuel 17 is priced at around 45 USD. In the Malaysian market, it retails at about RM 160 (Here's a seller!)The system does the job very well, being not only low profile but cools an overclocked processor admirably. You could possibly run fanless but...
CPU coolers come in all shapes and sizes. For the obvious reasons, here in VR-Zone we usually review cooler capable of delivering very high thermal performance and/or excellent acoustics. Today however we will have a look at the Samuel 17, a product fr...
Muy buen rendimiento térmico, incluso en pasivo, Tamaño reducido, ideal para equipos HTPC, Posibilidad de instalar ventilador de 120mm, Refrigera componentes cercanos, Montaje sencillo
El acabado con pegamento termofusible no es bueno, Precio (unos 40 euros y viene sin ventilador), Podría haberse aprovechado el backplate de serie
El Prolimatech Samuel 17 es un muy buen disipador para equipos de salón HTPC, que incluso funcionando sin ventilador da mejores resultados que el disipador de stock que viene con los procesadores de bajo TDP No obstante, me da miedo que si le ponemos

Tamaño de 140mm con montajes de 120mm, Velocidad de 500 a 1000 RPM, Posibilidad de ser usado en disipadores de calor o gabinetes, Ultra delgado, Incluye sleeving negro para no desentonar en tu gabinete, Silencioso.
1000/1200 RPM minimum, Rapport qualité-prix, La concurrence ne fait pas de cadeaux
Arrivé à l'heure de mettre un terme à ce test, il nous aura rarement été aussi difficile de conclure. En effet, si le Prolimatech ne brille pas, mais alors pas du tout (par trois fois) avec un ventilateur à 4.5 Volts, (la boîte l'affiche d'ailleurs cla...
