EVERCOOL Buffalo and Transformer 4 – Preview
EVERCOOL Transformer 4
The Transformer 4 can be had online for around US $45 or so. This puts it in the price point of mid-range air coolers but its design says something else. The design, first and foremost, boasts a 120mm dual fan push-pull setup which is mainly seen on high-end air coolers. This is to maximize the removal of heat from the aluminum fins, which surround the direct-touch heatpipes that lead up from the base.
Features
Here are the features taken from Evercool’s website:
- Compatible for all kinds of high-end CPU versions (both Intel and AMD)
- Four heatpipes in Ø8 (8mm diameter) with large aluminum fins to make effective cooling.
- According to their needs, users can assemble either one or two 12cm fans themselves to achieve quiet and cooling
- Bright silver and solid appearance
- Users do not need to use tools for easy installation

If desired, one of the fans can be run by itself to minimize fan noise if you consider two fans to be too loud. Also, both fans can be removed to allow passive cooling of the CPU. There are really some very nice high-end features to be had with this cooler and at a decent mid-range price.
