Presentation
After the Hyper6’ success, Coolermaster is back with the Hyper6+. This cooler features 6 heat pipes and very handsome finishing touches. It is compatible with all Sockets and comes with a transparent fan, a grid and a 4-pin power connector.
Installation
The installation is easy but it does require removing the motherboard from the tower case to position the plate in the back (this is often the case for heavy CPU coolers). The cooler is then placed on the CPU with four screws. The installation ends with the tightening of four screw-nuts at the back of the plate.
Measures and results
We made four measurement series from 5 to 12 Volts:
Appraisal
The hyper6+ provides a really interesting level of performances. At 12V for example, it is the second most efficient of this survey (1°C more than the Star Ice) and is 16 dB(A)D less noisy. In the end, it doesn’t offer such a good compromise as the Thermalright products, but it provides excellent performances, especially at full voltage.
