Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler Review

High Speed Fan Results

To further see what the Megahalems can do on a i7, we swapped out the NF-P12-1300 fan for a Scythe F 1600RPM fan. This is what we found:


While the increase in speed over the Noctua fan is only 300RPMs, the reduction in temperatures does make a compelling argument for "faster is better" when you are looking for the proper fan. Whether or not a small decrease is that big a deal is all up to you as the Noctua NF-P12-1300 numbers are still awfully good for those of you who want lower noise.

DUAL Fan Results

While it may not come with enough parts for dual fan goodness….we are resourceful! This is what happens when you match an i7 920 with this cooler and add in TWO Noctua NF-12 fans to the mix.


It really is a crying shame this big guy only comes with one set of clips as these numbers are impressive! Whether or not you would need a second fan is moot as it does improve on the already impressive performance and it’s not like it would have cost Prolimatech all that much to have included them. If you can find additional brackets, we think the added expense may be worth it if you are going to be doing some serious overclocking and want to wring every last bit of performance you can from this cooler.
