Abstract: The Coolermaster Gemin II M4 heatsink measures just 61mm tall, from the base of its exposed copper heatpipes to the tippy tip of its translucent vaneaxial fan. How does manage to squeeze in a fan and enough cooling surface area in a package so thin? ...

Building a HTPC or any system in a low profile chassis you always worry about the processor cooling method. It is true that the stock cooler can get the job done but the total heat capacity is extremely low and before long you'll have a huge heat picket o...
While the Cooler Master GeminII M4 resembles the Scythe's Big Shuriken 2, its performance does not. At comparable noise levels, the Big Shuriken 2 beats it handily, with temperature differences in the double digit range. If the M4 had fared any worse,...

So the testing results were good while the CPU was set at stock speeds but went downhill when the overclocked load test was performed. These results were mostly expected. Mixing small/low profile with very quiet cooling normally equals lower performan...
Pretty good temperature control for a low profile heatsink that retails at a little short of RM 100, easy to install, performs silently. Certainly worth your consideration, especially for HTPC or slim systems....
