Cooler Master Hyper 6+

Zitat

The Cooler Master Hyper 6+ competes well against other high-end air coolers. It was second in our overclocking tests of air coolers - just 30 MHz behind the class-leading Tuniq Tower 120. The rework of the fan on the Hyper 6+ is also effective, making it one of the quietest large towers we have tested. That is genuine praise for low noise since the tower coolers as a class are very quiet coolers.

The Tuniq Tower 120 is still the best air cooler tested so far at AnandTech, and the $89 TEC/air hybrid Monsoon II tops the overclocking charts. However, the Cooler Master Hyper 6+ is definitely a top air cooler worth considering. It is generally more widely available than the Tuniq and easier to find. Recently it has also been an outstanding value, with prices more in line with value heatpipe towers. The Hyper 6+ is also a bit smaller than the Tuniq making it an easier fit in some case designs. The shrouded cooling fin system on the Hyper 6+ also makes it easier to handle during installation, with less risk of cutting yourself on the sharp fins on a cooler like the Tuniq.

Another plus is the universal installation of the Hyper 6+. It fits just about everything except the AM2, and the installation system devised by Cooler Master is really effective in creating a solid installation on almost any processor. It would be even better if the installation instructions reached the same high standard as the engineering, but once you get the hang of the installation design the Hyper 6+ is an easy install.
