Design

Here is the new cooler:

The second version of the samurai sword has acquired a third heat pipe and has got larger overall. Its design is no different, though. The three heat pipes passing through the copper base distribute the heat flow among the heatsink ribs that are tilted downwards. A seven-blade 100mm fan is installed on one side of the heatsink:

The ribs are tilted so that the airflow went down to the mainboard surface to cool the components around the CPU socket.

Each pipe is topped with a decorative cap and every heatsink plate has a stamped logo of the manufacturing firm.

The cooler?s base is protected with a piece of polyethylene film with a warning that you must remove it prior to installing the cooler.
