Features:
Featuring a single 120mm fan and 5 heatpipes, the GeminII S524 comes in at an overall height of 10.5cm. The contact area of the GeminII S524 features a lapped contact area that appears to be nickel-coated copper for effective transfer of heat from the processor to the cooling fins, and from there to the air of your computer case and wherever that’s exhausted to.
The Fan
The fan equipped on the GeminII S524 runs at between 800 – 1800 RPM. The fan is held in place by 4 finely threaded metal screws that isolate the fan and any vibrations it generates from the heatsink, therefore cutting down on noise. If an aftermarket fan is used that is narrower than the stock unit, rubber grommets can be used to help quiet it.
