Prolimatech Mega Shadow

Introduction

Overclocking the CPU increases the overall performance of our computers. As usual, there's always a side effect of overclocking, increased heat output generated by the CPU. The need to use a good CPU cooler is just as important as the CPU itself.

We at Bjorn3D are going to be looking at a CPU cooler from Prolima today. Prolima is one of the new kids on the block when it comes to CPU coolers. This company awed us with the performance of their Megahalem CPU cooler (review can be found HERE). This time around we going to look at a Mega Shadow CPU cooler from Prolima, this CPU cooler shares a lot of the same designs as the Megahalem CPU cooler. The only real difference between these two CPU coolers is the Mega Shadow is fully nickle plated to add that extra bling to our computer components.

This time around I am going to use this CPU cooler on a completely new CPU from Intel, the i5 750. It is so new in fact I have no idea what to expect from this CPU as far as temperatures or how far I can go with the frequencies. The only thing I do know is I am going to stay with a rather strict temperature limit of 60°C and see how things fair from there.
