Page 2 - Closer Look
Cooler Master Hyper Z600 comes well packed in it's cardboard box, wrapped with even more cardboard and a fine synthetic fiber, which helps the radiator fins stay intact even during it's extraction from the box.
The box itself is nothing flashy. It's just big enough to fit the cooler in.
Here's how it looks from the inside, and also a closer look on the radiator itself. Also included in the kit are fittings for Intel LGA775 and AMD 940/AM2/AM2+, an installation manual (very helpful because installation isn't that easy) and brackets for mounting two vents on the sides .
The size of Hyper Z600 isn't accidental. It's meant to be passive. It's no coincidence that it comes w/o a ventilator and that it has such dimestions. In a modern PC case the CPU cooler rests just below the PSU and often next to another ventilator that pulls air outside the box from behind. The X-Shape design of the Cooler Master Hyper Z600 allows easy airflow from every direction, so the whole work of creating a steady airflow to cool the CPU goes to the PSU this time (especially modern PSUs with a 120mm vent inside) and the rear vent. Of course the 6 heat pipes "take the blame" for supplying the fins with equal heat from each side.
Also the option of slapping on two 120mm vents on the side sounds very appealing to those of us who like to squeeze a bit more from are CPU overclocking and just need those few extra degrees. As you will later see we have tested the performance of the Hyper Z600 with our favorite and silent Noctua NF-P12 .
