The first time I saw this CPU cooler at a Coolermaster display booth in OC Nation, I became completely obsessed with it.

Honeycomb fin structure increased the surface area within the same space which makes it more efficient in heat dissipation.

Angled heatsink base orientation thus creating an optimal airflow.

With the X6 user’s guide, first-time Coolermaster heatsink users would find it an easy task mounting the cooler to the motherboard.
It would take around 4-6minutes to complete the installation.

Accessory box contains brackets and backplate for both AMD and Intel, thermal paste, rubber washers, bolts, nuts and wrench plus Philips screw to hex adaptor.

The backside of the motherboard with the backplate and nuts tightened.
I suggest you use the Philips – Hex adapter over the other wrench as it may damage the circuit board.

Done reading the temps before and after installation of the Coolermaster X6 cooler.
Before – using Intel’s stock cooler

After – with the X6 cooler installed

Averaging a 4-5 degree Celsius decrease in temps during normal use compared to the stock fan!

Overall the Coolermaster X6 cooler is a bang for the buck cooler (priced at 2550 pesos) when it comes to aesthetics and performance!
