  • Abstract:  In a constant war of one-upsmanship, Cooler Master certainly has a winner here. The GeminII not only slays my XP-90, I am betting a fair share of water cooling setups would lay victim to this heatsink’s supremacy as well. Cooler Master’s claims that ...

  • The GeminII is a $30 cooler that is very flexible on configuration, at the $30 price (with out fans) it is great option for those needing a stock cooler replacement in a shallow depth case. ...

  • Abstract:  When this next item was offered up for review, I jumped on the opportunity right away. I seem to get weird, off-the-wall items to review *cough*Bat case*cough* and, well, this next item definitely falls into the weird category. The item in question ...

  • Abstract:  While weve taken a look at a handful of CPU coolers here at Elite Bastards over the past few weeks, todays offering is something a little bit more special. Our focus today is on a creation by those cooler masters.... Err... Cooler Master, and more sp...

  • Its huge!, Cooling performance not proportional to size, Wont work with some boards, Mobo compatibility information lacking, No fans included
  • Cooler Master took a gamble bringing such a large cooler to market. The sheer size of the GeminII will preclude its use on some motherboards, and I can see that it will be a very tight fit in some smaller cases. Performance wise, the GeminII posted u...

  • Cooler Master's GeminII heatsink is an interesting take on CPU cooling, but we're not sure it's the right direction to go in. That's not to say the cooler is a bad performer (also taking noise into account here), because it isn't - it's just not as goo...

  • Good fanassisted performance, Wellbuilt, Fans cool motherboard components
  • Passive cooling not recommended, Installation is a pain
  • To be frank, I was not fully satisfied with the GeminII. First of all, the cooler is far too big; make sure you have room in your case. Also, installation was a challenge as I had to remove the motherboard; this makes it impractical for enthusiasts who...

  • Our today’s tests indicate that overclockers have got another very effective and very quiet air cooler. The Cooler Master GeminII is already selling at a price not much different from the recommended one.There are only two drawbacks about the new pr...
