Evercool Transformer 6 (EC-HPI-12025) Review
|
Posted on Monday, January 19 2009 @ 01:57:35 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck |
I have several thoughts regarding the Evercool Transformer 6. It
seems that every heatsink out there is based on heatpipes and in this case,
we have six of them! Though heatpipes are excellent ways to transfer heat,
it is actually the job of the fins to dissipate it away from the cooler and
ultimately, the CPU. I am not entirely convinced that the fin design of this
cooler results in efficient cooling. Based on the tests, it was slightly
better than Intel's stock cooler but not by much. Given the large size of
the cooler, I would have expected a larger airflow cross section through the
fins. Also, a cross-flow orientation would have been more efficient instead
of blowing the heat back down towards other components.
