A Closer Look and Installation
The Fuma’s heat sink is made of aluminum, with a copper, nickel-plated base and heat pipes. Everything looks clean and professional. Somehow, I wish to see something more exceptional and fresh as the cooler looks quite standard, with plastic top covers. On the other hand, any fancy additions would raise the price and not necessarily improve the performance. The price is one of the strongest points of the Fuma 3, as there is probably no other well-performing cooler at such a low price.
There is no RGB illumination, but I guess that for air coolers, it doesn’t really matter. I like them to be clean and look high-end.
The base of the cooler is made of nickel-plated copper. It’s the best option to keep the performance high and protect the base from stains.
The installation is simple, and everything is described well in the manual. Since there is no RGB, we are limited to a PWM connector that delivers the power and automatically adjusts the fans’ speed.
Even though both fans are different, they have the same maximum of 1500 RPM. We could use a standard 25mm thick fan in front, but the 15mm one helps with RAM compatibility. As you see in the photos, there is no limit to how tall RAM can be installed
Below are photos presenting the test setup. There is no interference with any component or tall motherboard heatsinks.
