Hi OCN,

We wanted to take a moment to introduce our fans that are unfamiliar to our line of low profile CPU coolers. We know that there are a decent bit of you that prefer to mod or build in smaller systems or perhaps just want to setup a HTPC. Hopefully this quick overview will help you choose.

Thanks again for being loyal fans and users of our many products.



Cooler Master is proud to share its powerful line of performance CPU coolers for low profile and space restrained systems. These are the GeminII S524, GeminII M4, and Vortex Plus. Each cooler tackles these basic issues that are present in low profile applications:

• Low clearance compatible (e.g. HTPC, Portable LAN systems, and other slim PCs)
• Downward facing airflow to compensate for less overall airflow from case fans
• RAM and chipset cooling
• Low noise applications
• Universal socket support for both Intel and AMD (some variations based on region and CPU Cooler)
• Budget-friendly value and performance ratio

Please see below for highlights on each model.

GeminII M4
450
• Maximizes cooling with its minimal CPU contact gaps and four extremely efficient direct contact heat pipes that provide excellent heat dissipation
• A mere 59mm / 2.3in tall
• Height reductions achieved through the deployment of a new smaller 120mm fan that is 15mm thick as opposed to ones that are traditionally 25mm
• 10mm shorter height that typical low profile CPU coolers of this quality
• Provides up to 58.4CFM when set on high speed and is paired with a unique heat pipe layout that orients the heat pipes in a tighter “C-shape” rather than the standard “U-shape” which directs the flow of heat more efficiently to the aluminum fins where the heat is exhausted.

GeminII S524
450
• Larger 140mm fan included; support for 120mm fans
• Five high quality 6mm copper heat pipes and large copper base increase heat dissipation
• Heat pipes and base have been electroplated with nickel to make them corrosion resistant
• Increased clearance for high-end system memory modules
• Easily upgradeable cooling fan

Vortex Plus
442
• Four direct contact heat pipes for faster heat conduction and dissipation
• 92mm PWM fan with anti-vibration rubber pads to intelligently control fan performance and reduce noise
• Compact overall dimensions for clearing RAM and other system components
