Introduction:
In today’s performance intensive computers there is a myriad of differing cooling solutions, all designed to entice the end-user with their specifications. Many manufacturers opt for either silence, overclocking, small form factor spacing or all of the above. Only those whom are truly willing to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the industry can hope to survive this free-for-all. Then if we throw in more esoteric forms of cooling into the bag we are in for some interesting times indeed. Today however we are focusing our attention on the cooler that is designed for the Home Theatre PC case market.
Coolermaster have sent us their brand new Gemini Two Mark Four CPU cooler and it will be very interesting to see if this cooler can hold a candle to Coolermaster’s long line of high quality products.
