While we can see Prolimatech’s idea behind the Genesis, the execution not only fails to justify the hype in terms of performance, but brings with it a hatful of unwanted concessions. Not least of these is the size of the cooler, which makes...

Bigger appears to be better if the Prolimatech Genesis air cooler is anything to go by. Taking on the likes of the Coolermaster V10 and the Xigamatek Gaia this twin-heatsink, 140mm fan-compatible air cooler uses six fat 8mm heatpipes that elegantly...

The Genesis performs extremely well. This is no doubt due to the large amount of metal and heat pipes that it has. The decision to make it a hybrid horizontal and vertical cooler was a risky decision, but I think it has paid off. While you are...

Prolimatech Genesis is undoubtedly an excellent cooler. Yes, it is large. Yes, it is expensive, and in the end it will cost even more because of the fans. But do you know any super-coolers that are small and inexpensive? I don’t, and I doubt it is...

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...

With the Genesis, Prolimatech continues its short but impressive run of high performance CPU heatsinks. Its cooling proficiency is unmatched, even by other dual fan titans from more established manufacturers like Noctua and Thermalright. It also has...

With so many massive tower heatsinks on the market, the Prolimatech Genesis is a different approach and design of air cooling solutions. We like the fact that the "L" shaped design extends over the DIMM slots providing more air circulation and cooling...

We’ve discussed a high quality air cooler from Prolimatech, called the Genesis. Its hybrid functionally has proven effective by a small margin. The design is smart altough the finish isn’t perfect, when looking at the base sink and the heat...

The newest CPU cooler from Prolimatech, the Genesis, comes with an interesting shape and does not disappoint in terms of performance, being very near to the NH-D14 air cooler from Noctua. The cooler does not come with fans, but CaseKing.de has some...
