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). </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/mag/1big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/mag/1.jpg" alt="Evercool Magic Cooler Heatsink/Fan (HSF)" border="0" width="252" height="250"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><b>General Specifications</b> <p>Specifications for the Magic Cooler listed below can be seen on Evercool's <a href="http://www.evercool.com.tw/products/mag_01.htm">web site</a>. <ul><li><u>Application</u>: K7/PIII (All), AMD K8/XP/Opteron/Athlon64/(3000+), Intel P4 (3.2ghz)</li> <li><u>Heatsink Dimension</u>: 84x74x42 mm</li> <li><u>Sink Composition</u>: Aluminum</li> <li><u>Sink Weight</u>: 325g</li> <li><u>Fan Size</u>: 70 x 70 x 15mm</li> <li><u>Fan Speed</u>: 3,500 RPM</li> <li><u>Fan Rating</u>: 12v DC</li> <li><u>Air Flow</u>: 27.96 CFM</li> <li><u>Noise</u>: <30dBA</li> <li><u>Power Consumption</u>: 2.16w</li> <li><u>Rated Current</u>: 0.18A</li> </ul> <p align="left"><b>First Look</b>:</p> <p align="left">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) </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/mag/2big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/mag/2.jpg" alt="Evercool Magic Cooler Heatsink/Fan (HSF)" width="250" height="248" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"><br> 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.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/mag/3big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/mag/3.jpg" alt="Evercool Magic Cooler Heatsink/Fan (HSF)" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">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!</p> <p align="right"><a href="atruereview/mag/mag.php"></a> <a href="mag/mag.php">Next (First Look (cont.))</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
