No stranger to the "Cooling Scene", Taiwan based Evercool has been
providing heatsink solutions for both AMD and Intel platforms for
years. With a factory of their very own and production values presently
around 2.5 million pieces per month, they're no flash in the pan
either. Today we take a look at a new product from Evercool,
the Magic Cooler (AKA: Mag-01).

General Specifications
Specifications for the Magic Cooler listed below can be seen on
Evercool's web
site.
Packaging was quite adequate, a blister pack surrounds
the heatsink providing plenty of protection from shipping damage.
The HSF arrived in perfect shape. (watch for a future review on
the
other
Evercool
Pentium 4 HSF shown)

Open the blister pack and you start to get a good idea of the scope of
this CPU
cooler. The retail pack includes various mounting clips for the many supported
platforms. Also included is a nice sized syringe of Evercool's own thermal grease
and a thick installation manual.

A closer look at the cooler shows a purple anodized
heat sink and Evercool's EC7015M12CA, ball bearing fan, mounted
with a tooless clip. (more on the clip later) While Evercool rates
this
fan at less than 30dBA, a cross check reveals that it is actually
rated less than 28dBA. It's nice to see a company that doesn't
overrate
their products to entice sales. Great effort Evercool!
