Cooler Master Type II BTX Cooler
Posted: 2006-12-26
Author: BTX Man
Manufacturer: Cooler Master
Source: Amazon.com

The Cooler Master CB5-7KFSA-02-GP Type II BTX Cooler is one of the very few choices for BTX CPU coolers on the market, and part of an even smaller group of Type II coolers.  Type II coolers are shorter than their Type I counterparts, and are intended for slim desktop cases and other applications where a low profile cooler is necessary.

Although I intend to use this cooler in a case capable of supporting a larger Type I cooler, I am hoping the low profile design of the CB5-7KFSA-02-GP will help solve another issue within the case.  The Cooler Master CM Media B260 mBTX Case uses a riser card to allow for a PCI Express graphics card to be used, but I have found that the list of compatible cards is rather limited.  Longer graphics cards wind up interfering with Type I CPU coolers, so I wound up settling for less when it came to graphics.  I am hopeful that this shorter Type II cooler will solve that problem and accommodate longer PCI Express graphics cards.

Before jumping into the review, here is some published data on this cooler from the Cooler Master website...

2. Thermal target: 05'Performance: 130W / 05'mainstream: 95W / 04' performance: 115W

    2. 0.31C/W for 2004 Performance:115W / Spec=0.323C/W
    3. 0.26 C/W for 2005 Mainstream:95W / Spec=0.301C/W
    4. 0.26C/W for 2005 Performance:130W / Spec=0.264C/W

The list of features and specifications isn't too exciting, but the maximum values for airflow and fan speed due seem rather high, and will hopefully keep things cool without making too much noise.

For those who own BTX based computer systems, the number of options for upgrades are fairly limited... the lacking popularity of this form factor has kept the choices slim.

The CM Media B260 is a very sharp looking unit, and as well suited to serve as a typical desktop as it is to be an HTPC. In addition to the looks, the system has the silence necessary to make it a good fit in your media center.
