Photos Part Two: The Cooler
It looks like…. A CPU cooler! Actually it looks really good. The fan power wires are nicely sleeved, the whole thing is rather nicely done really.
Rear side, it looks a lot like the front side except the fan blades are facing the other way.
Side shot! There’s a lot of fan here, really.
The top has a nice red transparent bit, I like it.
The base is flat, it could be smoother. The heatpipes have no gaps between them and the aluminum part of the base though, that’s nice. I’m concerned that the tiny core size and small heatspreader of my 3770k won’t work well with the rather wide heatpipe spacing. I suspect this cooler is aimed at CPUs with larger dies and/or beefier heatspreaders (AMD chips, for instance).
I’ll strip the fans off so we can see what this thing looks like by itself:
We’ll check the fans out, too. They have frames that mount to the cooler and then the fans click into the mounts. It’s a good setup.
The exhaust fan is a rather rare beast, so here’s the label:
Let’s check out the mounts and get this thing installed!
