Article Snippet: Prolimatech has done a great job with their new entry in the Megahalems series cooler, the Super Mega, offering the PC enthusiast community top-notch performance in a well-engineered product with excellent fit and finish. Support for the latest Intel platforms and the new look resulting from the copper fins are icing on the cake, and theyve managed to boost performance as well.

At first glance, the Prolimatech Super Mega looks like just the Megahalems, and in fact, it is almost the same. But there are few important tweaks that appear to improve upon the predecessor. But as we know, paper specs do not necessarily make for a tangible improvement out in the real world. We decided to put the Super Mega to the test, to find out if it can indeed surpass the Megahalems in cooling performance or not.

Quote: The Prolimatech Super Mega certainly exceeded my expectations after taking a close look at it and handling it for a while, but I did find the lack of real copper fins a little disheartening, as Prolimatech markets it in a way that would make it seem that they should be solid copper. I suspected this by looking at the color of them, which was a bit of an orange tint and seemed a little unusual for the way copper typically looks. Taking away the copper sections, the Super Mega is nearly identical to its older sister, the Megahalems, but weighs close to 200 grams more.
