Coolermaster Jet 7+

GNY · 04-October-04, 03:32 PM

Sorry for the lack of pictures but I wrote the review after installing the HS & Fan

Just to let everyone know.. This is a Jet 7+ not a Jet 7, the difference being that the Jet 7+ is made of 100% Copper whilst the Jet 7 is made mostly of aluminium.

---------------

~~~ Packaging & condition ~~~

When I first saw it, 2 things came to my mind at once:-

1. "Damn that looks good!"
2. "Wow that is one huge cooler"

I thought it was rather well packed, It showed off the cooler well and would be hard to break anything throughout shipping so If your ordering one of these I think it would arrive it perfect condition.

The base of the heatsink was rather well finished but of course lapping would make for a better surface, something I didn't bother with for reference in this review

---------------

~~~ Coolermaster's Specifications ~~~

Ok so let's look at the stats taken from the Coolermaster website

Socket Type : Socket A, 370, 462
Heat Sink Dimension : 74x60x40 mm
Heat Sink Material : 100 % Copper stacked fin
Fan Dimension : 80x80x80 mm
Fan Speed : 1900~3500 rpm
Fan Airflow : 12.0~22.1 CFM
Fan Air Pressure : 3.15~10.70 mm H2O
Fan Life Expectance : 50,000 hrs
Bearing Type : Dual Ball Bearing
Voltage Rating : 5.0~13.8V
Noise Level : 21~41 dBA
Connector : 4 Pin (Power Input), 3 Pin (Speed Detection)
Weight : 660 g
Thermal Resistance : Rja 0.53~0.42 ?/W
Application : AMD XP 3200+ and higher

Looking at the dimensions you can really appreciate the height of this beast.

---------------

~~~Installation ~~~

Installing this was extremely easy as opposed to the stock coolers and many other retail coolers.

The need for kitchen utensils and a steady hand is something you won't need when installing this cooler. The retaining clip has a 3 point connector and a push-down lever to maximize stability and ease installation.

It took me approximately 5 seconds to clip this Cooler in and out. As opposed to 30 minutes with my old 1800+ stock cooler (and a stabbed motherboard)

---------------

~~~ Extra Features ~~~

The Jet 7+ comes with some extra things that is worth mentioning here:-

Installation Guide
Fan Speed Controller
3.5" Port Bracket for fan controller
PCI Port Bracket for fan controller
Thermal Paste

The fan controller is really a useful feature that many people couldn't do without.

when running at low speed.. Which on my rig was 2580RPM the sound was almost inaudible, All I could hear from my case were my 80mm fans and Hard drives being accessed.
However running at high speed of 3780RPM the cooler generated a lot of noise which I wouldn't like to have 24/7.

---------------

~~~ Performance ~~~

Sadly I don't have anything to compare the temperatures with but I can tell you what I was running at.

AMD Athlon XP 3200+

IDLE LOW : 46c
IDLE HIGH : 43c

I'll update it with my overclocking results soon.

---------------

~~~ Pros and Cons ~~~

The Pros:-

Stylish Design
Well Packaged
Fan Controller
Runs silent at low
Reasonably Priced

The Cons:-

Extremely noisy at high
Above AMD's recommended weight for a Cooler
Size - Stands in at around 12CMs tall

Thanks for the review GNY...too bad you don't have any pics...can you take some of it installed in your case?

Also, do you have loaded temps for us? How were the temps with your stock heatsink?

Again, thanks for contributing!

Thanks for letting me contribute :p

Well thing is i bought the 3200+ as an OEM product, and got the Jet 7+ to go with it so sadly i can't compare it to anything, when i get back from work tommorow i'll get the idle and low temperatures now i've rotated the fan.. since its running 8 Degrees C Cooler now.

**EDIT** I'll get some pictures too

A bit bland without any pics ... but you covered all the bases there

From personal experience, it really wasn't worth running it unless you ran the fan at full speed or close to it. If you didn't it wasn't much better than stock cooling. And the fan is LOUD at full speed.
