Conclusions
Even as the CPU reached its high temp, I was never able to hear the Hyper N620’s fans, the BIOS kept them at silent running during all of the testing.
The Cooler Master Hyper N620 hung right in there with the two comparison coolers. That might not have been of any real significance, except for the fact that the N620 costs $5 less than the Tuniq cooler, and just over $10 less than the Zalman. So, if cost does matter in your CPU cooler purchase, the N620 could save you a few bucks to spend somewhere else.
The CM Hyper N620 is a nice cooler. Its styling with a pair of offset fans gives you a little different look than the typical generic tower cooler. The pair of black fans and a cover on the cooler also add to the look, rather than an expanse of silver/gray in your case.
The twin offset fans both allow for airflow over the cooler’s oversized radiator, and extra airflow to provide silent running even when an overclocked CPU is under load. The performance is excellent, amply cooling that hot 130w i7. It gave nearly the exact performance as the most expensive air CPU cooler on the market.
The CM Hyper N620 sells for $60 at my favorite online retailer. The Zalman costs over $70. If the purchase is for a new build, that extra $10 could be put on extra storage, ten bucks buys a lot of extra hard drive nowadays. Or spend it wherever, anytime you can save money is a good thing. ThinkComputers gives the Cooler Master Hyper N620 LGA 1366 Ready CPU Cooler a 10 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Offset design gives a different look over the average 120mm tower
– Six heatpipes, oversized radiator, and twin fans allow for great performance
– Does its job in silence
– Priced right
Cons:
– None

I was a tester of this heatsink and I must say the performance of the Hyper N620 was great.

Too bad one of the fans didn't last too long on my sample 🙁

woo, i like the led that they added, reminds me of the tuniq cooler
Yeah, the Cooler Master R4 series fans are quite sweet since they push quite a bit of air and aren't very noisy.

But they're not durable, like you stated earlier, lol i guess it's a trade off.

One LED burnt out, I don't really care about that, and one of the fans needed to be lubricated, which wasn't a big deal, so in the end all is well.

Well, at least it was repairable, which is good. What did you lubricate the fan with?

I used a few drops of 3-in-1 oil.
gotta test that out, my fan on notebook cooler is failing me right now

I pull out a face palm whenever someone throws out a good fan without trying to lubricate it first.

Hehe, i tried lubricating my fan, but didn't use the right stuff, so it's pretty much the same
If you don't use some sort of lubricant, there's not sense on trying.

I tried vaseline, it worked for a while, but then wore off really quick. Tried that because it works well on my rubik's cube. Now i just tried some silicone spray lubricant and it's pefroming quite well, hopefully it holds up.
