14 DAY TRIAL // Not long ago, Cooler Master presented a new pair of coolers, and it looks like the one aimed at the North American market has finally reached its destination, ready to serve both Intel and AMD platforms.
When it comes to central processing units, there hardly any models that can carry out their tasks safely in absence of a cooling solution.
In fact, even just the number of CPUs that make do with passive coolers (heatsinks) is very low compared to the total currently running around the worldwide market.
Chips commonly get shipped with a default solution, but buyers may choose to replace it for a number of reasons, such as unsatisfactory cooling prowess and simple failure from extended use.
As such, Companies like Cooler Master have been able to base their existence on prospective customers' needs for ever new and improved heatsinks and fans.
That said, this very company came out last week and revealed a pair of newcomers, one of which has now made its way to North America, as was intended.
Carrying the name of Hyper 612 PWM, it measures 140 x 128 x 163 mm and is made up of six copper heatpipes, a base made of the same material, a heasink with aluminum fins that are 'airflow optimized' and a quick-snap fan bracket, plus, of course, the fan itself.
Said spinner has a diameter of 120mm and utilizes the sleeve bearing. It has a rotary speed of 600 to 2,000 RPM (rotations per minute) and a sound output of 9 to 36 dBA.
All in all, Cooler Master claims that the Hyper 612 PWM should actually outperform even some all-in-one liquid coolers and other high-end air coolers, provided customers are willing to give $49.99 in exchange for it.
The only thing users need now is a an Intel LGA 775, 1155, 1156 or 1366 motherboard, though chips compatible with AM2, AM2+ and AM3 sockets from Advanced Micro Devices also qualify.
