Now about that clip. I as I'm sure any system builder and/or overclocker prefers to have a 3-prong clip for securing those heavy heatsinks and if *cough cough* we scrapped off part of that middle motherboard catch trying to get a hard-to-install heatsink on or off. hehe, ok I'm guilty. The CoolerMaster HCC-002 has just one clip. But look at it. Others like the Vantec 6035D have made a larger clip but something was just slightly missing to get the best results. Not here baby! This one is about as perfect as a clip can be made. Being larger than any others it's so easy to simply toggle it over the one mobo catch and, well that's it. Piece of cake, too easy to install. No screwdriver or any other tools needed. Only bad thing is it isn't a 3 prong one but if your middle mobo catch is mostly in good shape then this will be just fine. The middle mobo catch on my Epox 8kta3 is partially off but the fit was still secure. Notice the close-up of that clip below, looking at it you can see why it pivots so easily. Of course how the round part sits on the heatsink and also how the clip itself pivots.

Now is that one pretty bottom or what? Came just like that, all nice, polished and shiny as any good heatsink should be. That picture also gives you a closer look at those thicker copper fins, 26 in all. They are about 3-4 times as thick as micro-fins and far less easy to bend. I received some micro-fin heatsinks with some of the thin fins either bent or miss-aligned. Not here, all are sturdy and straight. But they are bendable.

The Coolermaster HCC-002 has a 6800rpm fan which puts out a rated 37-38 cfm. Similar in speed and cfm to the lawnmower-loud Delta fans this one isn't that loud. Mainly because it doesn't have that annoying high-pitched sound the Deltas or other similar high speed cooling fans have. Although when my brother come by he asked if I had a water fountain in my system,hehe. So it is loud but it's tolerable.
