| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively  |  Gigabyte Rocket 3D II CPU Cooler Review  Not content with solid motherboard offerings, or one bad ass case (we'll get to that in another review), Gigabyte also offers some interesting CPU coolers. Today, HardwareLogic looks at the newest cooling option from Gigabyte, the Rocket 3D II CPU cooler. Does the Rocket 3D II continue Gigabyte's recent success, or does it burn up shortly after launch? Let's start the countdown...

| Re: Gigabyte Rocket 3D II CPU Cooler Review It looked like a crazy overclocking cpu fan, but when i saw the plastic and the craftwork i realized the geminii still takes the lead in best air flow. I am actually gonna buy the geminii right now after reading your review. Thanks a lot for testing these out. It really helps me pick and choose where i spend my money.

| Re: Gigabyte Rocket 3D II CPU Cooler Review Nice review Rich. I wasn't crazy about the looks of the cooler to start with as it kind of reminds me of something a kid would think looks cool and after your review I see that there's better cooling solutions for the money also.  |

| Re: Gigabyte Rocket 3D II CPU Cooler Review Have you recorded temps after flipping the fans? I'm sure it might have worked better it it blew air over the fins rather than sucking air   The greatest proof that intelligent life exists is the fact that they haven't tried to contact us yet. |

| We take both criticism and positive comments very positively | Re: Gigabyte Rocket 3D II CPU Cooler Review Nope, we review products based on how the company built them. Its not a terrible design, in fact having reversed air flow on several coolers prior to this review, I've seen very little change in performance INTEL E8400 // Gigabyte EP45 Extreme // 4GB DDR3-1600 // Palit HD 4870 // Antec 1200 // Seagate 750GB HDD // Zalman CNPS9700 // BFG ES 800W PSU |
