Cooler Master has announced the Hyper Z600, noiseless CPU cooler. The cooler’s X shape design retains rapid heat transfer and creates a lower backpressure, forcing air to pass through quickly, according to the company.

Seen this design before from other companies, this is nothing special. The design and/or shape of the heatsink does not matter, what matters is the materials used, the size of the HS, and the spacing between the fins. Wether you make an X, an O, or a damn hexagon it makes no difference.

So this cooler is meant for.... a Celeron processor with no OC?

Don't think I'd trust a fanless CPU cooler on my Quad. I've got a huge HSF on it now, with lots of fins and a fan, and it still gets warm.

You would obviously still need case fans to create decent airflow for it. My case fans are louder than the one on my Zalman 9700.

@DXRick: I'd hate to hear your computer, every review I've read says the 9700 is much louder than other HSFs with the same performance.

It depends on where you set its fan speed. For my P4 3.0 I only need the middle setting. The highest setting is loud, of course. :ouch:

P4 3.0 actually needed a cooler? I thought I just left my windows open back then. I'd hate to think I'd spend $60 to cool down a $60 processor though I guess it did cost a bit more back then :P
