Three-Way CPU Cooler Roundup

Fri 2009-09-11 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

X-bit Labs have tested and compared three CPU coolers from the Cooler Master and Cogage.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, Cooler Master Hyper N620 and Cogage TRUE Spirit CPU Coolers:

"Cogage TRUE Spirit seems to be the best balanced solution of the three. Of course, how could anyone spoil the legendary Thermalright Ultra-120? High efficiency, moderate noise even at maximum fan rotation speed and almost no noise at minimal speed are the highs of the TRUE Spirit cooler. As for the lows, we definitely have to mention uneven base, which doesn’t seem to ever bother Thermalright, and also the limited compatibility of the cooler, which can be used only with LGA1366 mainboards. Today the market offers a wide variety of cooling solutions that is why it is kind of strange to go for a $39.85 cooler that will fit only onto one single platform."

All three of these coolers are better-than-average, so if you're in market for a new heatsink give this article a quick look.
