Meet the Cooler Master Hyper TX3

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at a high resolution and then cropped and scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D 12 MegaPixel.

So here we have the packaging you'll spot in the stores. Standard blister packaging with everything included of course. Though the other photos make the cooler look more 'normal' in size, it really is a notch smaller than what you are used to though.

The package consists of the cooler, a 92 x 92 x 25 mm fan at 800 - 2800 RPM (PWM) plus fan retention clips, push pins for Intel processor sockets and an AMD retention clip. Also some thermal paste is included, which we think is a nice touch.

The cooling block itself is 90 x 51 x 139 mm in size, has standard aluminum fins and has three U-shape heat-pipes leading through the fins. A very clean design actually.

If we look closer at the CPU block we see that Cooler Master incorporated the popular Direct Contact heat-pipe design. It's a cheaper thing to do, saves on using more copper, yet the press that makes the heatpipes flat is a difficult procedure. As history has proven, the technology works really well though.
