With enough surface area to cool a car engine, and measuring 175 x 124mm across the top, the GeminII is one of the largest processor heatsinks on the market. It comes without a fan, but the idea is you mount either one or two 120mm units on the rail...

Cooler Master was founded in 1992 as a company specialising in thermal solutions and to this day they continue to be one of the market leaders in this segment of the PC industry. Whether it be traditional air cooling or more extreme produ...
The Cooler Master GeminII CPU/Board cooler is without doubt the largest heat sink we have ever tested, but despite this, installation of the product was very easy, something which surprised us. We were pleased to see that the GeminII was able to cool...

This is a cooler that seems like it could cause metal shortages across the world. A gigantic lump of a heatsink makes up the design that spreads itself all over your cases internals. And while its rather large, its also svelte with it; its low enou...

The GeminII is, for want of a better word, huge. Rather than take the skyscraper option of building upwards like the popular tower coolers, CoolerMaster has opted to build outwards, meaning if your fans are pointing down and particularly high CFM that...

In a constant war of one-upsmanship, Cooler Master certainly has a winner here. The GeminII not only slays my XP-90, I am betting a fair share of water cooling setups would lay victim to this heatsink’s supremacy as well. Cooler Master’s claims that...

Heatpipe tower coolers are nothing new, but the trend has coolers getting taller and having larger fins. Cooler Master has gone a different route with the GeminII. With their new heatpipe cooler they went short and wide, real wide, so much so that...
The GeminII is a $30 cooler that is very flexible on configuration, at the $30 price (with out fans) it is great option for those needing a stock cooler replacement in a shallow depth case...

Cooler Master took a gamble bringing such a large cooler to market. The sheer size of the GeminII will preclude its use on some motherboards, and I can see that it will be a very tight fit in some smaller cases. Performance wise, the GeminII posted up...
Impressively immense, Good active cooling, Great passive cooling (at stock Vcore), Cools mobo components, Excellent build quality, Great mounting design, Reasonably priced...
Its huge!, Cooling performance not proportional to size, Wont work with some boards, Mobo compatibility information lacking, No fans included...

While weve taken a look at a handful of CPU coolers here at Elite Bastards over the past few weeks, todays offering is something a little bit more special. Our focus today is on a creation by those cooler masters.... Err... Cooler Master, and more sp...

If looks equals performance then the Cooler Master GeminII will certainly top our performance charts. The GeminII has stirred the imagination of our readers like no other new cooler that has been introduced. This is primarily the result of the unique d...

$50 (MSRP) Cooler Master is back at Overclockers Online. Recently, I reviewed their CoolViva Pro video card cooler, which was huge! Today, I have such a beast of a CPU cooler that Cooler Master advertises it not as a CPU cooler but as a "complete system c...
Good fanassisted performance, Wellbuilt, Fans cool motherboard components...
Passive cooling not recommended, Installation is a pain...
To be frank, I was not fully satisfied with the GeminII. First of all, the cooler is far too big; make sure you have room in your case. Also, installation was a challenge as I had to remove the motherboard; this makes it impractical for enthusiasts who...

I will review and test a new cooler from Cooler Master today. It is called GeminII and the “II” stands for two identical fans which are a key feature of the product. Frankly speaking, the idea to install two 120mm fans on a CPU cooler is not v...
Our today’s tests indicate that overclockers have got another very effective and very quiet air cooler. The Cooler Master GeminII is already selling at a price not much different from the recommended one.There are only two drawbacks about the new pr...

From the very beginning of heat pipe technology utility on desktop computers, the biggest “profiteers” were processors. No matter if CPU or GPU are cooled (or anything else) heat pipe always had an advantage comparing to classic cooling manner. The glo...

AMD 940 / 939 / 754 / AM2, Intel LGA775 847g (without fans and rails) 175mm x 125mm x 82mmCPU Coolers are getting bigger, there's no doubt about that. In the last few years heat output seems to have increased more and more for top end processors d...
Cooler Master's GeminII heatsink is an interesting take on CPU cooling, but we're not sure it's the right direction to go in. That's not to say the cooler is a bad performer (also taking noise into account here), because it isn't - it's just not as goo...
