CoolerMaster Coolers
Proof that the Gigabyte 3D cooler works well can be seen by the number of similar models cropping up. A few days ago, CoolerMaster unveiled their heatsink based on a similar design to the Gigabyte 3D cooler. Take a look at CoolerMaster's Hyper6.

The CoolerMaster design looks like it has some advantages over the Gigabyte version. Particularly, it uses six heatpipes instead of four. There is also an aluminum sink in the center of the tower. Unfortunately, the Hyper6 does not come with a fan or fan control. There are mounting brackets on the top of the sink allow for an 80mm fan.
This spring and summer look to be very exciting for new case and cooling technology. Look forward to more case and power supply reviews in the next few months!

It would be nice if you scouted out who actually makes some of these PSUs. Just like Antec cases, lots of these PSUs are OEMed, e.g. the Zalman are actually made by Fortron... You can find out by looking up the UL file number (Exxxxxx)found under the RU symbol on the label, at ul.com . Always nice to be able to cut one more mouth out of the money trough..bh.

I want to see a review on just passive cooling Heatsinks, no water, phase change, or fan.tfranzese - Monday, April 5, 2004 - link
An even more minor typo:"We have always relied on Enermax for ARE high performance, well manufactured (and usually expensive) power supplies."
think that should be OUR ;)

All I have to say is wow! That SuperFlow PS is just cool! It'd may never find a home in any computer I build (specs are much more important than looks for me whe it comes to power supplies), but that is just danged cool.KristopherKubicki - Sunday, April 4, 2004 - link
