What is the perfect compliment to a case with a black interior? A black heatsink! Who cares if it looks like the black plastic cover for a modern car engine; that’s what it is supposedto look like. The Cooler Master V6 has a V-shaped heatpipe, aluminum fins, red LED fan, and a snap-on cover to add a second fan if desired. It is compatible with Intel Socket LGA1366 / 1156 / 775 and AMD Socket AM3/AM2+/AM2. Looking for more horsepower…errr….cooling power?
