    HEXUS.firstlook :: Cooler Master GeminII heatsink - a crushing success?

    Cooler Master gives it large with the gargantuan GeminII heatsink. Is it a case of bigger is better, or has Cooler Master gone too far?

    Find out more.

    dammit - if they hadn't made it quite so tall, it'd passively cool my HTPC (still gonna measure it...)

    Silverstone Sugo 01/03

    i have a Silverstone Sugo 01E case using the NT06 heatsink passively mounted beneath the PSU fan.

    do you think the same could be done with this Gemini 2 fan?

    I think that question is best aimed at Silverstone Tek, as I don't have a Sugo to test it with.

    yeh i mean as in a tempreture comparison against say the stock cooling v's that kilo beast of a motherboard snapper

    i would imagine in my case asus 32 SLI thingy with heatpipes around the CPU would be nice and cool with 2 120mm fans blowing over it all !

    im so bloody tempted to go buy it on the off chance and sell it on if it dont fit !

    or keep it till i get the 830

    That is huge!

    I wonder what strain that puts on the motherboard due to size and weight?

    Matt - I'll gladly swap you a fiver for it

    It's the size of East Anglia - of course it'll cool well

    EDIT: Or maybe not - some stuff I've just read says it's on par with a Tuniq Tower

    i just hope it securely fastens to the motherboard, almost a kilo landing on top of your graphics card = no more pci-e connection
