Evercool Transformer 6

If someone asked me to name the companies that offer the best CPU coolers, chances would be very good that Evercool would not be at the top of my list. It's not that Evercool doesn't make a good product, but the company has had little success earning a strong name for themselves in North America because they are sold under the Cables Unlimited brand. I believe the Transformer 6 might possibly change this position, because one look at the images below will reveal that this is not another CPU cooler clone.

From the chrome-plated 120mm fan to the very unique finsink design, Evercool's Transformer 6 is truly the most fascinating cooler I have seen all year long. Of course, Evercool products must do a lot more then just sit and look pretty to make an positive impact at Benchmark Reviews. However, there are still the customary prerequisites: six heat-pipes, copper base, 120mm fan, and plenty of heatsink fins.

Evercool has integrated three separate finsink groups into the Transformer 6, and two nickel-plated heat-pipes feed into each section from the solid copper base. Evercool doesn't build a premium cooler and forget to include a high-performance mounting system like we see with several other kits. Instead, the basic Intel pressure-clip system is replaced with a bolt-through mounting kit.

Taking a good look at the side view, you'll notice that the Transformer 6 cooler is not an asymmetrical product. The unit leans towards one corner, primarily to make room for the Northbridge chipset and system memory. Coincidentally, it looks vaguely similar to the ASUS Triton 85 CPU cooler, only with more cooling fins available to the Transformer 6.

The copper base is polished to a mirror finish, and teamed with a good bolt-through mounting system heat is transferred efficiently. The 120mm cooler is not easily replaced without giving each corner a very strong pull away from the rubber vibration-isolating mounting plugs. Benchmark Reviews did not test the Evercool HPI-12025 kit with our high-output Yate Loon D12SH-12 fan, and instead conducted tests with the included 120mm stock fan.
