Bitspower Unveils the Phantom CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Bitspower is known almost entirely for its DIY liquid-cooling products, but is looking to expand into the air-based cooling space. The company is ready with the Bitsport Phantom, a tower-type CPU air cooler. The cooler features a conventional tower-type design, in which four 6 mm-thick copper heat-pipes make direct contact with the CPU at the base, conveying heat through the fin-stack. The heat-pipes are capped at the ends, and the top-plate has a slick looking insert with the Bitspower logo in the center. The fin-stack is ventilated by a 120 mm addressable-RGB illuminated fan. The cooler supports the latest LGA1700 socket. Specs related to the fan and heatsink, as well as pricing and availability information, remains unknown.

Not a big fan of that fan bracket which is prone to breaking and not easy to source compared to wire clips.

I actually like the plastic clip for the fan it's more solid then a tiny metal clip that most manufacturers use and I used them on a couple of air coolers in the past and never broke one on the other hand the tiny metal clips can be really annoying to mount.

This is nothing more than a Coolermaster Hyper 212 with caps on the pipes and a different fan. They didn't even bother to change the design of the fan clips. It's a direct rip-off.

Now now, it's not a direct copy... because they forgot to set back the finstack enough to leave the first memory slot unobstructed like the 212 Evo V2 does.

Cooler master is a big contract manufacturer, it's not unlikely that this is just a rebranded copy of the old Hyper 212
