  • Spire Thermax II CPU Cooler

    At first I would like to thank Spire for providing me the Thermax II CPU cooler for testing and reviewing.


    In this review I will test a 4-heatpipe CPU cooler from Spire named Thermax II, which features a mounting system very similar as Sunbeamtech Core Contact Freezer and will compare the temperatures with other coolers I have tested in the past.
