EVERCOOL Buffalo and Transformer 4 – Preview
EVERCOOL Buffalo
The Buffalo is an entry-level cooler that is designed on the basis of giving the end-user a heatsink that is far superior to stock, while not breaking the bank. It utilizes a neat tower design with a solid copper base and heatpipes to distribute the heat to the aluminum fins.
This very effective design accommodates a 100mm fan to blow cool air across the fins to remove the heat.

- Dual Ø6 (6mm diameter) heat pipe cooler with high thermal conductive technology and special welding techniques enable seamless connections between fins and pipes.
