CPU cooling is an important factor to consider for anyone who owns a PC. The internal case temperatures can greatly influence the stability of your system, especially if your CPU cooler is not very efficient. Eumax seems to have a winner with this latest offering.

For those of you with overheating issues, you may wish to pick something like this up. The 80mm fan pushes enough air to keep even the most choked systems stable. While you are at it, you may wish to improve your airflow with neater wiring, or more case fans. The Eumax EU-0702 will take care of the CPU just fine.

In summary the Eumax EU-0702 performed rather well, had a decent base finish, and had some great looks. The rough base may be what is holding this cooler back from greatness. On the other hand, a larger copper insert also could have done something to help the heat transfer to the distal aluminum fins. Despite these minor shortcomings the unit performs slightly better than expected, and quite nicely for its price range and demographic. If you come across one of these and think that it fits your bill don’t hesitate to pick it up!

Pros:

  • Nice fan
  • Weight
  • Triple clips
  • Decent thermal grease included

Cons:

  • Less than perfect base finish
  • Small copper insert
  • Wobbly bracket design
