Special Edition Megahalems Black Series CPU Cooler and unique StaticBooster from ProlimaTech
Introduction
Prolimatech, founded in 2008 is headquartered in Taiwan, led by a team of dedicated experts with 22 years of accumulated experience in the field of computer thermal solutions.
The ever popular Megahalems now comes with BLACK , RED and BLUE It has stylish black grainy matte finish for the best looking performance .If looks could kill, this heat sink would reap havoc on any competitor in its path!! Housing this Intimidator is a specially designed package
"Collector’s Edition"! Inside the package you get not only one but two sets of fan clips for setting up an awesome arsenal of dual fans. You also get support for installation on any of the Intel's and AMD's recent platforms. No longer will you have to choose which back plate to use because a specially designed universal back plate .has been created for better convenience and better cooling results. What Megahalems has set in performance standards, now Black Megahalems will raise the bar one level higher! If looks are everything to you, this is the one heat sink to get!!. All you need to do is find the right Fans, disturbance, surface area, and while looking for this balance, trying the size of Prolimatech’s Vortex 15 mm-thick 140 mm model Fan or Prolimatech’s Vortex 15mm-thick 120 mm model Fan and Static Booster 14

What Prolimatech provides on their website. It covers the Intel only mounting compatibility, along with the coolers dimensions, weight, and heat pipe diameter and amount. The second chart is from the original Megahalems, but since the coolers are identical other than coloration, there is more information to be had with this chart. It again cover the dimensions of this cooler that stands on 158.7mm tall, and they again address the 790gram weight of it, without fans placed on the cooler
Packaging
Packaging for the Special Edition Megahalems Black Series CPU Cooler kept simple with the black background, with hints of Black stripes alluding to the cooler contained inside. Prolimatech also covers the fact that this cooler is skinny and shouldn't interfere with memory, it can use 120mm 140mm fans, and is ready to mount to any Intel processor. The Megahalems ships without a fan in the package. Plan ahead to order one or use one you have on hand, if it meets or exceeds the recommendation.
To be honest, once I opened the box and saw the way the cooler was packaged, I thought to myself, this is nice, and more manufacturers should do this
The rest of the kit is all packaged in individual bags. There are O-rings for the back plate, two bags of two ArmaClips each. Then you get LGA2011 mounting screws, the universal nuts for the back plate, and a bag with the nuts and bolts for the other Intel mounts. At the bottom you have the screws and springs for the cross bar and a two gram tube of PK-2 paste
The base of the cooler is flat from long edge to long edge, with just a bit of deviation at the corners where they tend to roll away from the centre height just slightly. Obviously the surface of the base has its semi-circular milling marks still left present to offer more surface area over a finely polished base
This way each set of six, nickel coated heatpipes has their own separated array to cool with after they leave the base. The six 6mm heat pipes exit at the top of the heatsink and are in a U-Shape. The black powder-coat looks really great and has a lovely textured finish as well as being more or less totally finger print resistant.
The last side of the outer packaging offers another set of opening instructions, but at the bottom, there is a very short list of specifications that addresses the size, the materials, its weight and fan compatibility.
I had notice that all of the pipes are in alignment from this angle as you look through the fins, spreading them out to allow a fan to blow across each of them for the best chance of efficient dissipation.
Also noticeable from here is that each of the aluminium fins are made of two sections, and with all the added fin supports, it makes for a very solid feeling cooler
Wide gaps between fins with mathematically calculated thickness maximize air-to-surface cooling rate. This efficient design minimizes air resistance between fins, allowing the best balance between noise and performance in range
Using the Gigabtye Z87X-OC, I did not any issue with the heat pipes rubbing against the plastic armor over the PWM above the CPU. For that reason we have positioned the cooler in this manner. When looking at the cooler in the other orientation, it was completely Dimm 2 clear of only memory slots, even with the fan on the cooler.
Prolimatech also sent a pair of the Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 fans and StaticBooster 14. These 140mm and 120mm fans are designed for silence with an 18dBA rating and they are only 15mm thick. The RPM rating fits the mold, with a rated speed of 500 to 1000 RPMs. These fans also come rated to push 98CFM, which is way over spec, and they are shown to deliver 0.9mmH2O of static pressure. These fans are also 91 grams each, and as we are testing this cooler, it is now 932 grams in total weight
StaticBooster 14 is a unique accessory specifically engineered for use with Ultra sleek Vortex 14 fan.By increasing the focus of the airflow
Prolimatech’s Vortex 15 mm-thick 120 mm model Fan
Prolimatech’s Vortex 15 mm-thick 140 mm model Fan and the Static Booster 14
As I mentioned, ProlimaTech given a pair of fans to test with, and Prolimatech recommends the Ultra Sleek Vortex 14 fans. For testing purposes, both fans will be used to gauge values
ProlimaTech Special Edition Megahalems Black Series CPU Cooler can be had pretty much
This suit any Black themed build where you require a solid competitor with a compact design.Look great in any case.
Test method
Gigabtyes Z87X-OC
I7 4770K 4000Mhz
video card Gigabtyes 8400GS
Corsair Dominator Platinum 2666 Mhz
Power supply Sumo Power Sliver 80Plus 1200W
Testing for the CPU coolers is done with the use of RealTemp to ascertain temperatures, Prime 95Test to deliver the load to the CPU and CPU-Z to verify the CPU speed and the voltage being used in Windows. All of the testing is done with an ambient temperature of 28°C
ProlimaTech Special Edition Megahalems Black Series cooler is a very nice quality product capable of keeping our test system under control at comfortable levels of both sound and temperatures. Haswell is a Hot chip to clock above 4000Mhz need to have a increase the RPM speed.Using the StaticBooster manage lower down the temperature 10°C impressive and Simply Amazing
The overall design of the cooler looks fantastic with the sleek looking "transformer"-like so Able to Fit it in most of casing Acoustic performance is quiet! some of the best air cooling performance on the market. This is a stunning cooler in terms of performance,
