Cooler Master Launches Hyper Z600 Passive CPU Cooler

Let me explain what i mean by "true comparison":

1 - Coolers should be tested as they are sold, meaning using the thermal paste and fan(s) provided in the package and tested in all there possibilities (ie: Noctua has adapters included with the fans, so 1 test for each should be observed).

2 - All coolers should be tested using the same fan(s), thermal paste in order to ensure that the differences observed are from the coolers and not from the usage of different fans or thermal paste.

Standard reviews of CPU coolers cover point 1 but i have no knowledge of reviews covering point 2: there's a difference between the cooling power of an "out-of-the-box" cooler and it's total cooling power, IMHO.

Agreed for the most part, however coolers like the ultra 120 don't come with a fan however they are still meant to be used with one. Does this mean they would have to be run passive for the first bit of testing?

You do have a point there, dude!

As far as i know, lots of users go with S-Flex fans (dunno which specific model): that would be a good place to start.

In alternative, the fans used for the 2nd point could be used in the 1st point as well, for coolers with this particular "problem".
