Coolermaster Jet4
Heatsink From All Angles |
|
The Fan: Coolermaster's Jet 4 heatsink has pretty unique
style for its intake fan. The fan draws a lot of current, so a molex
passthrough cable is necessary. Another wire delivers the RPM signal
to the motherboard, keeping those fan alarms from freaking out. The fan sits on an aluminum frame which connects to the copper base.
Because of how the jet fan frame overlaps the aluminum part of the heatsink slightly, it
can be a bit tricky to get the clips seated properly. |
|
Heatsink Top: Two stainless steel socket 478 retention clips hold the large Jet 4 heatsink
in place by clamping down on the aluminum fan shroud at either side of the cooler. The
remainder of the Jet 4 is constructed from thin sheets of copper soldered to a 4mm
thick copper base. |
|
Side A: This looks like the exhaust end of the fan
the way it is designed, but is actually another air intake. The build quality of this heatsink is evident through the nice tight joints at the corner of
the shroud which is swaged firmly into the copper base. The aluminum shroud has some
vents punched into it to allow air to escape along the outer row of copper
fins. |
|
Side B: The jet engine styled fan is larger
than the rest of the heatsink, so if you are looking to use this cooler in
your computer, make sure there is enough vertical room to accommodate the roughly 135mm height. The copper base is 4mm thick, and the copper fins measure 0.3mm thick. Each of the 44 fins measure 29mm tall, and are spaced 1mm
apart. |
|
Heatsink Base:
The base finish of
the copper plate is pretty good, of average flatness, with a typical sanded finish of approximately
32microinches roughness. The copper base is 60x66mm in size, so if you ever wanted to
try a little modified TEC cooling here, that could work rather
well. |
