Cooler Master TPC-812 CPU Cooler Review - PAGE 1

Today Neoseeker will be looking at the Cooler Master TPC-812 CPU cooler, designed for overclocking. Cooler Master did an excellent job on the TPC-812 cooler, using two separate methods for heat dissipation: heatpipes along with a vertical vapor chamber technology, as well as a new fin design that provides a higher concentration of airflow over the heatsink.

Improvements have been made to allow for higher air pressure. The TPC-812 also sports an all new mounting system for the fans. Other notable features include a polished copper base capable of transferring heat faster than mixed metals, two vapor chambers, six heatpipes measuring 6mm each, and a 120mm 2400RPM fan capable of a maximum 2400RPM, or 1600RPM when using the silent mode adapter.

Cooler Master's TPC-812 should offer some nice performance when it comes to overclocking Intel's Core i7 2600k, as the TPC-812 has a maximum of 300W TDP.
