Socket MiniRoundup PART 4: RDJD K601 Review - PAGE 1

Coming into the roundup at the last minute, is the relatively new K601 thin-finned cooler from RDJD. Primarily designed for use with the AMD K6, it also has been approved for Celeron CPUs. This unit is unlike any tested so far. Its heat sink is made up of a lightweight aluminum material with folded fins instead of molded fins used to dissipate the heat.

It’s able to keep the CPU temperature down by the large fin surface area working in direct contact with the CPU and an ultra fast 6000RPM, 17.5 CFM fan blowing cool air downward. But can this lightweight cooler be a better alternative to other monster coolers, like the Alpha cooler and Socket Freezer?
