Continuing our cooler review series, we tested Evercool Buffalo, a low-cost CPU cooler with tower design, two U-shaped 6 mm heatpipes and a 100 mm fan. Will it perform as well as the more expensive coolers? Lets check it out!

Buffalo's box is simple, cardboard, with a graphic design in shades of red.

Inside the box we where surprised to find only the cooler itself, plus a white thermal compound tube.

The installation manual is actually on the outside of the box, as we can see in Figure 3. In this picture we also can see the information there is two models, one for Intel socket 775 CPUs and other for AMD processors. The product website shows also a new socket 1366 version.
