Cooler Master has Just brought forth a new dual fan design CPU cooler with the Hyper N520 which sports two 92-mm fans, one pulls air, while the other pushes it.

The Hyper N520 is big, one concern is that it might not fit all cabinets, so make sure .To connect the fans to the motherboard, there are two separate 3-pin adapters attached. The drawback here is that these are just too short. We were only able to attach one of the adapters to the CPU fan header on the motherboard, that too with a struggle, while the other was attached to an extension connected to a 4-pin MOLEX.

Mounting brackets were provided for lntel and AMD CPU sockets including AM2+ and LGA 1366.

We put this CPU cooler up against the lntel Stock Cooler and a Cooler Master Hyper TX2. We used the Cooler Master Thermal Fusion 400 as the thermal paste. The CPU selected for this Intel QX9650. We recorded the temperature of the CPU under Idle and Load using Speedfan. To get the CPU to 100% load we ran Cinebench R10 in a loop.

The winner here was indeed the Cooler Master Hyper NS20 with a maximum CPU temperature of 36 degrees Celsius.

The Cooler Master Hyper N520 does make a good buy, especially for those enthusiast overclockers and even for those who want to keep their system cool. But in all reality, the cooler you keep your CPU, the longer it will last.
