Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B is an extreme performance cooler. Under our test conditions it performed better than all coolers we tested to date.



We must keep in mind that it does not come with a fan, and you must buy one. So, if you use a fan with lower airflow, the cooler can show lower performance. But taking into account that it performed greately even with the CPU idle (when the fan was on its lowest rotation speed), we can conclude it will probably show a great performance even with a slower (and quieter) fan. There is also the possibility to install two fans in order to maximize airflow.

One drawback on Megahalems Rev. B is its installation, very difficult. The part count is high and the installation procedure is complex, but the manual is clear and if you follow it step by step you will have no problems.

It looks nice and denotes quality, even though it is not too fancy or eye-catching.

The price is compatible with a high-performance cooler, but keep in mind it is not inexpensive and you must still pay for a good fan. But, performing like it did, it has the right to be expensive.

Due to its exceptional performance, Prolimatech Megahalems Rev. B deserves the Hardware Secrets Golden Award seal.
