You want to show off? Vantec
can help.
Their CCK-6035D is a thin-fin copper
cooler with a high quotient of groovaciousness. The fan-supporting surround's
gold-anodised, the fins are bright copper pink, and that shiny finger guard
is not just there for show.
The 6035D comes standard with
one of those nice high power Delta AFB0612EH "black label" fans, as seen
on the top-spec OCZ Gladiator and various other hopped-up coolers. It's
pretty obnoxiously loud, though not quite as noisy as the YS Tech opposition,
and it seems to work as well as any other high power 60mm fan.
The 6035D's clip is a hinged
two-part unit that's very easy to use, yet still holds the cooler down solidly.
The only problem with this clip is that it's possible for the hinged end
to slide into the heat sink - not nearly far enough for the whole clip to
fall out of the cooler, but far enough to make things a bit confusing, as
you try to figure out what you're meant to hook the cooler on with. A small
amount of manipulation will pop out the clip-end, provided you know it's
there.
On the test rig, the 6035D demonstrated
that it has go as well as show; it scored a respectable 0.60°C/W. That's
not jaw-dropping performance, but it definitely puts this cooler into "serious
overclocker" territory.
Looks great, easy to install, works
well; what's not to like?
