Abstract: The last time we had a look at a high-end CPU cooler from Cooler Master, the GeminII, we were very much impressed by what we had to offer, and once again weve found plenty to get excited about with the Hyper Z600. Yes, its huge (time to break out t...
Abstract: Coolermasters Hyper Z600 heatsink is a novel passive CPU heatsink for todays dual core processors. Its star shape, widely spaced aluminum fins and prodigious number of silvery copper heatpipes allow it to work without the benefit of a fan.
Solid performance in a passive configuration, Superior performance in an active configuration, Quality construction and design, AMD & Intel socket compatibility, Six heatpipe design allows for unexpectedly good socket area clearance
Dimensions may be too large for some cases, Weight, at 1045g without fans, is prohibitive, May cause access problems to DIMM slots on some board configurations, With an expected MSRP of under $100 USD, may be of questionable value vs. other top tower designs
Pros: Solid performance in a passive configuration Superior performance in an active configuration Quality construction and design AMD & Intel socket compatibility Six heatpipe design allows for unexpectedly good socket area clearance Cons: Dimensions...
Z600 is capable of keeping hot processors nice and cool, Z600 is well made and heavy duty, If bigger really was better, the Z600 would be the best, Sphere has interesting design and looks cool installed
Z600 is massive and may interfere with many cases, Tool-less fan mounts on the Z600 would be a nice design change, Installation of both coolers could be refined a bit, Sphere is loud and doesn't cool all that well
The Cooler Master Z600 is an interesting cooler. On one hand it is capable of providing incredible cooling results when used with either one or two low speed 120mm fans. Adding higher speed fans might create some extra noise to live with, but I can i...

The Cooler Master Hyper Z600 is a very large heatsink that is able to be installed on many different platforms, including the Intel Socket LGA775, AMD Socket 940, AM2, and AM2+, which gives it a very universal socket design that many different consu...
Abstract: With the ever-increasing amount of cores being added to processors these days, the CPU temperature is a rising factor. To deal with this, the common route for most enthusiasts is a bigger and better cooler. However with larger heat-sinks, noisier fans ...
Silent operation, Great ‘passive’ temperatures, Awesome active temperatures, Great Looks
Needs some case airflow to work passively, Huge & Heavy, Mounting system, Possible Motherboard/RAM clearance issues
Going in to this review I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had a preconception that passive coolers just don’t work very well and can’t beat coolers with fans. I braced myself for the worst, but Cooler Master’s Hyper Z600 CPU cooler w...
As we have stated before there are four things that we look for in a CPU cooler and they are: Does it install easily? Is it reasonably light? Is it quiet? Does it perform as well as existing coolers? For the first item in our list the Cooler Master Hyp...
