Cooler Master Hyper 101 CPU Cooler Review

The Cooler Master Hyper 101 (Cont'd)

In Figure 8, you see the base of the cooler, which has no mirror-like aspect. The direct-touch design (where the heatpipes touch the CPU directly) is good, but we think that it would be better if the heatpipes were closer to the center of the base, where is the point the CPU produces more heat.

In Figure 9, you see the cooler without the fan. As we mentioned before, it comes with only one fan, but you can install a second one (the cooler comes with the hardware to install this second fan).

In Figure 10 you see the 80-mm fan. It is attached to two holders that are installed on the heatsink by pressure. There are also small rubber pads that help absorbing vibrations generated by the fan.
