FrostyTech has posted a Coolermaster Hyper6 KHC-V81-U1 Copper K8/P4 Heatsink review



Fresh from the chrome plated Jet4 wonder, Coolermaster are back with the brand new 6-heatpipe packing Hyper6 KHC-V81-U1 Intel Pentium4 and AMD Athlon64 heatsink! Copper is the name of this game, and the Hyper6 certainly uses plenty of it. Mounted to the forged copper base are no less than six individual copper heatpipes which rise up through the center of 27 stacked copper fins to a height of just over 120mm. Levitating 40mm above the base is a 80x80x25mm fan, and its speed control dial can be hooked up to an aluminum 3.5" bay cover for quick fan adjustments. As an added benefit, the raised height of the fan helps ensure the Coolermaster Hyper6 clears any nearby capacitors on either a Socket 754/940 or Socket 478 motherboard - since it is compatible with both processors. With the fan speed controls at hand, users can dial in just how loud or quiet they would like to run the heatsink, but of course for best performance, the speed needs to be cranked all the up.
