yha I think everyone would like to see how it compares to tuniq and thermalright

awsome review dude, you are the man. Why did you mount the fans on the infinity like that? From the #'s ive seen, it seems to perform worse that way...

edit: also... is that infinity mounted w/ the plastic pins or bolts? It automatically does roughly 5c better once the mount is modded.

It looks like he's using the plastic pins.

It would be nice if pc2iminal would a test with bolts and normally mounted fans. Otherwise, nice test. Gemini owns.

enz660, i asked him to do this. When i tested my Infinity i had reached best results with it.

Are you going to attempt this mod in next round?

I would think that would be better cause the air hits all the pipes directly. The other way, the pipes hide behind each other.

I bought 3 Geminii, we'll see if it beat the Tuniq ;)

Four fans plus the heatsink...that's gonna weight like 1.5kg. That thing better have a modded mounting, I mean the stock plastic pins may not be enough to hold that thing on place.

2 more fans than needed my friend... all you need are two fans + pressure mounting.

Thanks PcCI2iminal for your hard work :-)

Your work led me to purchase a GEMIN II

nice review. i didn't knew that you could buy the Geminii in stores. I saw it today and it was only 31 euro (in The Netherlands). The tuniq tower is 45 euro.

Nice, its in EU already :)
Do they ship to other EU countries? Please PM me the website of this shop if it's online.

PcCI2iminal: Can you please check the coolermaster part number on your GeminII/風神匠?

Because from Coolermaster Japan site, the part number for 風神匠 is RR-CCH-ANU1-GP.

From the Coolermaster world site, the part number for GeminII is RR-CCH-ANU2-GP.

I wound if there's any difference between GeminII and 風神匠? Because they have different part number.
