The Hyper line of heatsinks have always been geared
toward enthusiasts. They are not your standard cooler line (matte Grey
finish on the heatsink, simple box construction, piddly little fan on
top of the unit, etc) as the Hypers have consistently been lookers as
well as performers. Hyper48, Hyper6, Hyper6+ and now the HyperTX...
style reigns supreme on this line of coolers!
This review is going to be written, as usual, from a modders perspective. I'm not a huge overclocker, so I'm not going to be throwing massively overclocked CPU wattages into this unit. I am instead going to compare it against other products both within it's own line of products (to show evolutionary steps the line has taken) and some other CPU heatsinks that I have exposure to.
The first thing I immediately noted was the weight difference between the Hyper TX and the former Hyper6+... WOWZERS!! The TX is 452g as opposed to the portly 6+ that weighs in at a hefty 896.4g! That is nearly 1/2 off the weight people! This weight fact is a nice feeder to my next statement, the HyperTX uses your *existing* CPU bracket to mount on... you don't have to remove the motherboard and mount a custom support weight plate on the bottom... this baby is light enough to use the existing mounting bracket! YAY!!!! The 6+ was (and still is) a beast of a cooler requiring the back support bracket. Initial impressions make the TX look like it's light weight cousin. Same basic form factor, but the TX is much more narrow.
Dimensions put the Hyper6+ at 96x82x120 mm, while the HyperTX comes in at 90x44x136.5 mm. Well... there is most of that weight loss difference! ;)
Also you have the difference in fans. The 6+ used what appeared to be a typical fan... but 100mm is not a typical fan. (Come on CoolerMaster.... a *100mm* fan?!?!?) The TX uses a 90mm fan |
