I have to say that our today’s hero, Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer, is no conjurer and doesn’t belong to the super-cooler team with the highest cooling efficiency. Nevertheless, Sunbeamtech Core-Contact Freezer will undoubtedly find its customers being priced at only $36 and offering very good cooling performance for the buck. The inconvenient retention with limited compatibility is a little upsetting, but we hope the manufacturer will take note of it and fix it in the next cooler modifications. As for the ways of improving the cooling efficiency, we would suggest that the manufacturer tries to allow two fans to be installed onto this cooler heatsink (one for air intake and one for exhaust) , because the cooler efficiency depends significantly on the airflow going through the heatsink array. It would also be nice to have a backplate included with the cooler retention kit, just like by other makers, and replace the thermal glue with soldering technique for the contact between the heatpipes and the heatsink plates.
