Mounting the cooler requires a few minutes work. We'll be installing on LGA 775 (Core 2 Quad QX9770). Basically you mount four retention clips in the right position for LGA 775 with the supplied screws.
After you've secured all screws you now have a push-pin design mount. This works out really well, there's no need to remove the motherboard and you can clip on the cooler really easily. It's a big improvement over previous designs from Cooler Master. For AMD CPUs you can skip the push pin installation and use a retention spring clip.
All popular processors except Core i7 are supported, including Intel Sockets LGA 775/1156 (Core i5) and AMD Sockets 754/939/940/AM2/AM3.
Here we have the 92 x 92 x 25 mm fan at 800 - 2800 RPM (PWM). See the little rubber patches in the corners? That prevents resonating, and dampens the sound. Simple yet very effective.
So a small hint, you want to mount the fan AFTER you've installed the cooler onto your motherboard, but this is what the end result will look like. Mind you, we had a small problem with the fan retention clips (well, iron wires), they were a little too big to fit properly, so I had to bend them a little in order to make it fit, no biggy though.
You'll receive two more fan retention clips as you can add another 92mm fan on the other side of the cooler for additional performance.
And once we've installed everything, this is what it looks like. Not bad for a heatpipe cooler in this price range. Let's start her up and check out some tests we did with the cooler.
CoolerMaster Sentinel ZERO-G game mouse review
Cooler Master just released within the CM STORM line of products the Sentinel ZERO-G, an updated version of the last generation product, that TBH I still use. The Sentinel ZERO-G offers everything its older brother already has, but is tweaked, optimized and comes with a few surprises. We again spot the cute little OLED screen, adjustable weight system, superduper link braided 2M chord, and upgrade to 128kb of memory and yeah, it is just a really nice upgrade to what was previously launched.
CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 review
We test the new CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 CPU cooler. Though the cooler will not be high-end performance wise, it can still manage the latest Core 2 Duo and Quad processors really well, and sure, overclocked as well. This new TX3 also supports the upcoming Core i5 processors from Intel based on Socket LGA 1156. Typically this would not be a massively interesting release of course, however... with a sales price of only 14.95 EUR/USD let's face it... the dynamic certainly changes for the better.
CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX review CPU liquid cooling
A test on the CoolerMaster Aquagate MAX. This system is designed to be used inside your computer case for a completely self-contained system. If you are looking for a liquid cooling system to use for your performance computer the Cooler Master Aquagate Max may be just what you need. Dual 1200mm radiator, excellent looking reservoir and 400 liter/h pump, nice thick tubing and a very glossy water-block. A very interesting fact is .. it's not very expensive.
CoolerMaster Cosmos S review
CoolerMaster today introduced a new PC case/chassis updated from their Cosmos line of products. This unit is based on a standard Cosmos 1000 with some attention-grabbing new modifications targeted at the high-end and enthusiast consumer with a diminutive amount of money to spare. It's huge, it's profound, it's impressive, it's striking and it's called the Cosmos S; with the S for Sport.
