Evercool has a vast array of thermal solutions incorporating both air and water methods for numerous different components. Their CPU cooling solutions especially include a variety of different fin and heatpipe architectures compatible with most current sockets.
The Evercool Buffalo, from the LGA775 range, is a newer design that utilises a copper base, a 10cm pre-installed fan and an easy installation method. As a more mainstream cooler compared to the HPK-10025EA, some decent cooling is expected too so let’s see what it can offer…
