Cooler Master GeminII SF524 Low Profile CPU Cooler Review
Luke Hill / 12 years ago
The relatively unique top-down design of the GeminII SF524 will cool a CPU as well as surrounding motherboard components such as the VRM or RAM.
A 3-tiered aluminium fin stack provides an effective amount of surface area for heat dissipation benefits while keeping RAM and VRM heatsink clearance to a maximum. Cooler Master state RAM clearance as around 47mm but we think that you may be able to squeeze a few more millimetres on top of that figure.
5 6mm copper heatpipes departing the electroplated copper base provides Cooler Master’s GeminII SF524 with a solid heat transfer foundation upon which a successful cooler can be built.
The supplied 1300 RPM fan can push up to 52.6 CFM of air while operating at 22.5 dbA. Utilizing the noise-reduction adapter, 900 RPM will be the fan’s operational speed with a noise level of just 16.1 dbA.
