The Z600
The Z600 is truly unique with its X-blade styling and thick fins it is completely different from most other tower coolers which tend to trade a few thick fins for many flimsy fins with boring brick shapes. The Z600 really does have a feel of great quality to it that I have missed from most coolers of late.

The Z600 has 6 bent U shape heatpipes that run through the length of the cooler. This is designed to create maximum throughput of heat drawing it away from the CPU. The contact is a mirror-coated copper base, which looks reflective as well as flat.

The good old penny test to show you how it shines.

The Z600 is undeniably a very attractive cooler, but it does have one slight problem, its sheer size. This thing is about 2-3 times the size of the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 (and that’s not a smaller cooler either); it also weighs nearly twice as much as well due to its solid construction.
