Power Cooler PCH141
The PCH141 has two heat sinks in
one. They're both solid aluminium, but one of them's plain silver finished
with its fins pointing upwards, while the other one's blue anodised and
mounted upside-down, with the tips of its fins press-fitted into the gaps
between the other fins. The blue heat sink has a big hole in its base -
which is at the top, since it's inverted - and the fan mounts to it. The
result is a heat sink with a lot of surface area, but not much space between
its numerous fins. A standard Power Cooler Turbo Fan sits on top of the
odd heat sink, and another OK two-part clip holds it onto the CPU.
The close-set fins
don't do the PCH141 any favours; it scored only 0.72°C/W. Which isn't awful,
but which isn't thrilling either. If you're going for a nautical blue-and-white
colour scheme inside your PC, this cooler will appeal to you; apart from
its unusual looks, though, it's just a face in the crowd.
