To belabor the obvious, the Z600R is big and heavy. Before considering this cooler, potential customers will need to make sure it will fin inside their case. However, as we'll see later, clearance around the socket shouldn't be an issue. The cooler comes with a detachable 120mm fan and…
…the Z600R is rated to passively cool processors with a TDP of 89W or less. With six 6mm heatpipes and all those fins, I'm not surprised.
PRODUCT COMPOSITION
It's no surprise that a big cooler comes in a big box, but Cooler Master have outdone themselves this time. Striking graphics and abundant information leave no doubt about what's inside. Even the inside packaging is top notch with deftly folded cardboard protecting the various components. Origami comes to mind here, and while it's a small feature that doesn't affect performance, it's still refreshing to see.
Inside the box, you get the cooler, instruction booklet, backplates, fan brackets, hardware, thermal paste and a 120mm fan. We'll go over these items in more detail during installation, so let's move on and get a closer look at the Hyper Z600R.
