Cooler Master GeminII SF524 Low Profile CPU Cooler Review

We decided to compare the Cooler Master GeminII SF524 against 8 other CPU coolers from a variety of price ranges that we have previously had experience with.

Testing method:

  • Stable recorded CPU temperatures from a 15 minute idle test
  • Stable recorded CPU temperatures from a 15 minute load test
  • The cooler’s fans are set at 100% speed unless otherwise stated
  • All tests are repeated to check the consistency and reliability of the results
  • Delta temperatures are used in the charts to provide more accurate results
  • Maximum recorded noise output at 100% fan speed
  • The supplied thermal paste is always used to make the results a fair interpretation of the cooler’s stock performance
  • The temperature threshold we set before calling the test a fail is 65oC above ambient but if the cooler manages to complete more than 75% of the test before rising above the 65oC delta mark, we allow it to complete the test, provided it is capable
  • A +/- 1 degree Celsius margin of error is incorporated by our CPU/GPU temperature recording method
  • A +/- 0.1 degree Celsius margin of error is incorporated by our ambient temperature recording method

Test system:

  • MSI P67A-GD65
  • Intel Core i7 2600K
  • 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
  • XFX Radeon HD 4870 1GB
  • 128GB Kingston SSDnow V100 (OS)
  • Corsair TX650
  • NZXT Phantom Case
  • Supplied Cooler Master thermal paste

Comparison used:

Software used:

  • Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
