Conclusion

The conclusions will be pretty simple today. To be more exact there can be only one conclusion: the cooling solutions we have just discussed will hardly be of any interest to overclocking fans. They are not efficient enough for the money and generate quite a bit of noise during work. So, what might attract a potential customer to these three CPU coolers? Compact size, universal design, simple installation and modding highlighting could be those features, although most cooling solutions using heatpipe design do have all these features too.

So, anyway, what is the sweet spot of these coolers? I believe they are good basis for future improved modifications that we might expect to see pretty soon. Such as Akasa Revo 2 with larger copper radiator for a 120-mm fan, enhanced heat-spreader with copper in it and a new advanced fan. So, we look forward to checking one of them out in the near future, and in the meanwhile, we, unfortunately, have to admit that the coolers we tested today fell victims to compactness and originality.
