Evercool advised us that this cooler will be available for a very modest $26 USD. At this price the Evercool Transformer 3 will be a viable option for the modest overclocking market.

Features:

*Three 6mm V shape heat pipes and the special fin design effectively increases airflow and cooling performance.

*Equipped with a 12cm PWM fan to provide silence and good performance; one additional fan can also be added.

*Shock absorption rubber nail design reduces both vibration and noise.

*It is compatible with Intel and AMD.

Evercool uses their own design EC12025H12EP fan with the Transformer 3. The 12V, 0.32A, 120mm fan is painted an aluminum color and it operates at speeds between 800 RPM and 2,200 RPM.

The front on view of the Transformer 3 gives us a great look at this 160mm tall tower style heatsink. In the center of the block is the small standoff that is there to provide stability when using the AM3 mounting bracket. The side view of the Transformer 3 gives us a look at the 3 heat pipes as they enter the block and also provides a good perspective of how tall the tower really is.

The base of the Transformer 3 allows us to better view the quality of the H.D.T Tech (Heat pipe Direct Touch). The base is very flat and there are no visible gaps between the heat pipes and the remainder of the block. The build standards are excellent, considering the $25 asking price.

The top view shows the product logo placed in the center of the top aluminum fin. The top of each heat pipe has been finished with a glossy chrome paint to enhance the finished look of the Transformer 3.
