Powerful CPU coolers are invariably huge and bulky, and the Cooler Master Hyper 103 is no exception to this.

Indeed, it measures 108 x 89.5 x 138.5 mm, which is the same as 4.25 x 3.52 x 5.45 inches.

On that note, the newcomer is also very heavy, weighing 500 grams / 1.10 pounds without a fan, and 580 grams / 1.27 pounds when the 92 mm PWM-controllable fan is also present.

Speaking of the fan, it has a rotary speed of 800 to 2,200 RPM (rotations per minute) and pushes 43.1 CFM of air, all the while making 30 dBA of noise.

It has no trouble dispersing the heat spread through the fins by the three 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes.

The supported CPU sockets are AMD AM3+/AM3, and FM2/FM1, as well as Intel LGA2011, LGA115x, and LGA1366.
