Aerocool HT-102 CPU Cooler Review
Aerocool HT-102 CPU Cooler Review
Heatpipes and led fans seem to be a trend. The only way to be different is performance and price wise. Today we are testing the Aerocool HT-102 CPU cooler. What are its chances against some well known heatsinks?

    The three heatpipes and the 35 copper fins make this cooler quit heavy. Besides that the heatsink is compact and feels massive.

    To install the cooler no mainboard removal is required… although I would recommend doing that. Installing the heatsink isn't very difficult. Just choose the right clips and place them into the correct position, and secure the heatsink.

    Now to get the fan on the heatsink, that’s a bit trickier. You can't install the heatsink on the mainboard inside a case and then screw the fan on it. There just isn't enough room to use a screwdriver for the lowers two screws.

    Attaching the fan onto the heatsink before installing the heatsink is a great idea. But sadly is not possible. The fan is positioned over the mounting bracket. So you can't do that either. So you're indirectly forced to remove the mainboard out of your case and do the installation there.

    And blue LEDs are a must have nowadays...
