Review: Coolermaster Hyper TX2 cooler

Cooler supports both Intel and AMD

Written by Simon Crisp

A large, heatpipe cooler from one of the biggest names in cooling isn't something you'd expect for just £10.

Supporting both Intel (Socket 775) and AMD (Sockets 754, 939, 940 and AM2), it comes with both locking mechanisms attached - you simply take off the one you don't need.

Attached to the cooper base are three U-shaped copper heat pipes that draw the heat through the large aluminium fin cooler, which uses a 92mm 1,800rpm fan to cool things down. The fan itself has profiled blades, which helps keep noise levels down to 22dBA.

It's not a cooler for small cases though, as it measures 90x44x136.5mm (wxdxh) and weighs 482g.
