Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2010-12-08
The Super Mega CPU cooler is a revised version of the older Megahalems from Prolimatech, a hybrid of copper and aluminum. An extra set of spring screws is included to install extra pounds of pressure for an even tighter contact between the heatsink base and the CPU.
The newly released CPU Cooler from Prolimatech, Super Mega, has similar looks/features as the already successful Megahalems, the main differences being the revised mounting mechanism, the added copper; also, the weight has been also increased compared to the older cooler, about 200 grams more.
The fact that the heatsink was not bundled with fans means that the manufacturer gives us the choice to install the ones of our choice; however, this also means that we have to spend more to use this heatsink.
Regarding the cooling performance, when using the same fans as on the Noctua NH-U12P, the NF-P12 120mm, I have got very similar temperatures with the Noctua with the CPU clocked at 3.2GHz; however, when testing at 4GHz, the situation changed a bit, the Super Mega getting ahead with about two degrees in full load.
This performance CPU cooler does not come cheap (considering that no fans are included); it can be found for sale at CaseKing for about 69,90 EUR.
I would like to thank again to CaseKing for offering me this product for review!
