Chapter 2. Facture and montage

Both of the coolers are machined so good and nice, and the manufacturer wouldn't to be treated as only a beginner.
The base-surfaces of the coolers are machined very well. That means in English language that evenness of the both base surfaces is almost ideal and the roughness is also somewhere at the mirror's level too.
The pressed joints between the heat pipes and the ribs are done well. Here it isn't possible to move the rib after a little push onto it. Thanks to this fine contact is thermal contact also very good and consequential efficiency of the cooler is at the high level. Cooler don't need have soldered joints of heat pipes and ribs.
The evens endings of the heat pipes aren't nice. This is only one reservations to the design of coolers.
Shapes and cutting edges of the ribs are without any needles and the ribs-sheets are without any finger prints too.
Fan, this chapter was another experience to me. :). At seted voltage of 5V, you can hear your neighbours behind the wall. At 7V is listenable then only a jangle and at around 8.5V is your fan well muttering. At 12V is this fan a little non usable, and not only for quiet PC. At the fan tag there is not typed a nominal voltage, which is a little minus. But if you want, you can find here all types of the approval signs.
Base plates of both coolers are protected against to fingerprints by protection foils.
At the tester I tested both cooler fitted by INTEL's - LGA 775 system. Montage and de-montage of coolers was very easy in this case, it is easy for sure at the mother boards too. What about the AMD's - AM2 socket? To exchange cooler with this system is so easy too. You needn't to remove a mother board from your PC case, the cooler with installed AM2's clips is absolutely easy to "click" to original retention CPU's frame.
