news 28 Posted October 29, 2008 Hi all, We have just published a review of *Cooler Master's Z600 CPU Cooler*. If you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated. *Link:* http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/10/29/cooler-master-z600-cpu-cooler/1 *Picture:* http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2008/10/cooler-master-z600-cpu-cooler/fp_img.jpg *Quote: */If all you're looking for is total silence from your CPU cooler then the Cooler Master Z600 is certainly worth considering, as long as your hardware fits the bill. As we've seen, using the Z600 to try and cool certain chips just results in the cooler struggling to deal with the increased heat load and keeping the CPU at dangerously high temperatures, even in a well ventilated case, but if all you've got is a dual core processor from the Intel E6xxx or E8xxx families than the Hyper Z600 is certainly enough to keep your CPU stable, although still nowhere near as cool as competing high performance heatsinks. We certainly get the feeling that the Cooler Master Z600 has tried to be a Jack of all trades, but has instead found itself a master of none. If you're looking to build an extremely quiet dual core PC, it's almost certainly worth considering as long as you don't plan on overclocking too much and plan on fitting it into a case with decent airflow -- we'd imagine the Z600 combined with Cooler Master's HAF 932 high air flow case would be a very effective match up. However if you're looking more for lower temperatures rather than absolute silence, there are plenty of much better offerings out there with, thankfully, much easier mounting brackets./ * *Cheers guys!
