On the back, you can see through the cooling fins very clearly and see the four heatpipes. If it does, you can simply push the fan up a bit on the cooler. The four 6mm heatpipes have been carefully ground and polished, but of course do not reflect like a nickel-plated surface.įrom the side, you can see the structure of the stacked aluminum fins and the asymmetrical design, so that the cooler does not protrude into the RAM socket on the side with the fan mounted. This serves to improve the heat transfer and is called Heatpipe Direct Touch, or HDT for short. The heatpipes were bent asymmetrically for better RAM compatibility and have direct contact to the CPU again. Here you can see the cooler’s underside still with the protective foil. On the top of the cooler you can see very good the eight ends of the total of four 6mm heatpipes. The Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 fan is equipped with 7 rotor blades and is plugged onto the cooler with a previously screwed plastic bracket. I think that the majority of people don't care how heavy their cooler is, only about the price.This is what the new Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo V2 cooler looks like with a pre-installed 120mm fan. You would also need to use the ambient temperature delta rather than the absolute temperature in any sort of ratio for the results to be meaningful. And a dead CPU.Īlso, the higher the temperature (Bad), the lower the ratio, which doesn't make sense. Other charts count as well when making a final decision.īy that logic, having no cooler at all is the most efficient. Panteck PH-TC14PE weighs 970g without fans, performing at 46c.970g/46c= 21.09 efficiency ratio.CM Hyper 212 EVO Weighs 580g with fan, performing at 51c.580g/51c= 11.37 efficiency ratio.Ideally, the lower the ratio, the more efficient a cpu cooler is.

To heatsink manufactures: Do something innovating if a wall seems to be in the way! Just look at PSU manufactures, they are reaching 92% Platinum rating, from 82% rating four years ago.Example: Noctua NH-D14 weighs 900g without fans and it did 45c at full load. Not just slab more metal to defeat the other guy. Could you guys do a heatsink Weight/cooling efficiency chart? This is to make readers see which manufacture did its engineering mission to make a much more effective unit than its competition. It is nice that new cpu heatsinks are becoming better in performance, but i don't like the fact that they are becoming bigger and heavier than previous cpu heatsink kings by only earning a degree or two above the rest. I remembered that in a few months later Noctua took the crown as top performing air cooled heatsink. Other charts count as well when making a final decision.īunnywannyI been using a Prolimatech Megahalems since its introduction back in 2009.
