Optimized fin design - Aluminum Fin Array with Tunnel Effect layout creates micro vortices that boost the airflow and circulate it around the heatpipes. Patented CDC™ Technology - 4 Continuous Direct Contact Heatpipes create a gap-less contact surface. Patent “V” Shaped Array - Funnel shaped aluminum fins and a series of perforated dimples guide the airflow towards the heatpipes. To get a bit more of an idea what it's all about let's take a look at the technical SpecificationsĮxclusive X-Vent Technology - Vents are placed at a 45 degrees angle around each heatpipe. This cooler's not going to be an overclockers dream, but we're hopeful it may stay on its feet for the first few rounds of the torture test at least, remembering of course that we're testing with the very toasty 2011 so if it can stay a few rounds of that it should be fine in less demanding systems. Remember chaps, not everything that scores highly does so because it's a world beater. At 29.99 it's damn good value, and provided the quality is there and it manages to perform it should do fairly well.
It's also very quiet, a far bit quieter in fact than its predecessor thanks to the new sleeve bearing fan it uses.It's been a while since we looked at a cooler from CoolerMaster, and it's also been a fair while since we looked at a cooler as affordable as the Hyper 212X. The TX3 Evo certainly gets a major thumbs up when it comes to how easy it is to fit, mainly due to the fact that once you've attached the Intel push pin assembly then it's a direct swap-out for the standard Intel cooler. Finally, having the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in this lineup almost seems unfair it's smaller than the other coolers, only really benefits from one fan, and is the least expensive by a. To be fair though it's not aimed at overclockers and performs better than its price tag suggests. Enermax ETS-T40-TA: 50 CPU Overclocked (2600K 4.6GHz)
