It's cool, it's quiet, and boy is it big!

Cooler Master has launched its Hyper Z600 passive cooling solution and with it, denounces both noise pollution and power consumption.
The cooler, measuring a mammoth 127.28 x 127.28 x 160 mm, weighs 1045g and promises to passively cool any CPU drawing up to 89 watts. Though that conveniently rules out most of today's 90 watt quad-core chips, Cooler Master states that the Z600 is ideal for CPUs such as Intel's dual-core E8500 and AMD's 5600+.

Too bad it's not made out of copper......

    Where I'm now
    The standard for coolers say no more than 454g should be on the socket.But all the highend coolers weigh 700~900g.And this is TOO much and dont do anything good at cooling.If you remeber the CM Gemini which was massive and could fit in two 120mms on the top,and very famous as the free cooler coz once it went for 30USD with 30USD Mail In Rebate :P,didnt do a thing compared to even a ACF 7 pro :P

    Well its recommended for small CPUs like E8500......45nm less heat....This is some sort of a passive cooler i believe.......
    What is the f***ing problem that CM engineers dont understand there is a metal called Cu which has better thermal conductivity for a bit higher price so they can make small coolers???If the mobo makers can why cant them?Do they wanna go we have big balls???DFI lanparty too is getting this problem as they are fitting thermalright HR5/6 in them.

    Well Zex i found some conclusions of various review sites.....

    www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/coolermaster_hyperz600/5.htm said:
    The Cooler Master Hyper Z600 is a very large heatsink that is able to be installed on many different platforms, including the Intel Socket LGA775, AMD Socket 940, AM2, and AM2+, which gives it a very universal socket design that many different consumers would be able to take advantage of. The mounting brackets for the different sockets are very easy to install and change, which makes the ease of use for the heatsink very simple and easy. The fins that are on the Hyper Z600 are setup very strategically in an aerodynamic way that allows for maximum heat dissipation. Tthere are two different sets of fins on the heatsink, as well as having two dedicated heatpipes in each corner for the larger fins. There are six heatipipes, with two going through the larger fins and four going through the smaller fins in the center of the Hyper Z600, and all of them connect to the copper base, which helps with the dissipation of heat from the processor and allows for the excellent temperatures that I was able to achieve. The Hyper X600 is a very large heatsink, which could be a bad thing for some consumers as they wouldn't have very much room inside of their case. However, this heatsink would be great for an avid overclocker who has a larger case. I would recommend this cooler to anyone who has the room in their case, is going to be doing some extensive overclocking, as well as anyone just looking for a simple upgrade.

    So there you have it, when the Coolermaster Hyper Z600 heatsink is equipped with at least one 120mm fan, it's an excellent high performance cooler. It's up to you to accept the +1kilogram weight. As a passive heatsink, the Hyper Z600 is capable so long as case ventilation is adequate and the maximum processor TDP does not exceed ~85W. The results aren't going to be record breaking though. In Frostytech's books, an actively cooled Coolermaster Hyper Z600 heatsink is well worth your consideration.

    We were pleasantly surprised to find that Cooler Master can rightfully label the Hyper Z600 as a passive cooler, performing well on even a slightly overclocked quad core processor. Adding active cooling and excellent airflow, however, are the key to turning a well-performing passive cooler into a solution that should compete with the best tower designs on the market.

    Do note, however, that the Cooler Master Cosmos played a significant role in the result seen due to its superior airflow. Still, even with the rear exhaust fan disabled, the Z600 continued to perform quite well (dual top exhaust fans were still functioning). Bottom line? This is a superb cooler for those with a chassis that offers sufficient real estate.

    Thank you to Cooler Master for giving us the opportunity to review their Hyper Z600 CPU Cooler for our readers.

    Just don't eat my head:P.....These are somethings on the internet!

    Why should I?:P And Im a vegan too :P Everybody says it needs a fan.So why dont we get a one with a fan? and eventhough it is compatible with all platforms I highly suspect bending of motherboards(A TR ultra extreme can bend a ASUS P5WDH deluxe in 3 months,trust me).Its like 900g so this sure will.And the compatibility issue.Even a Zerotherm Nirvana 120 have problems with mounting on highend mobos due to heatpipes on board and this is no exception and needless to with this much big it sure will.
    My advise is check out the compatibility first with your mobo before buying these and get some top rated ones.www.frostytech.com top 10 is a good start.

    well its too big..itll most prolly rip ur socket off if u dont support it to the case, and boy ull need a new case lool, nways i think this is good for sound freaks, i my self love the sound of the fans in ma machine (there are 9 of them and its frakin noisy looool),
