Construction and design

Construction

If we had to define the type of cooler the Armageddon is, then we would describe it as a tower cooler. This type of cooler comes with the advantage that manufacturers can realize a huge area for heat dissipation. The disadvantage over down-draft coolers is that no air is directed towards the motherboard, therefore non of the onboard components receive direct cooling. Prolimatech manufactures their Armageddon cooler from aluminium and copper. You can find a copper base plate which leads the dissipation power to six heatpipes which all have a diameter of six millimeters. Altogether there are 44 fins soldered to the heatpipes for perfect heat transfer. To provide this cooler with a very special look the entire surface has been nickel plated.

Design

We did not see any manufacturing mistakes on our sample, and it seems that it has been very well made which means that manufacturing quality is on an excellent level. The heatpipes do have different bending radius, which results in less additional vortex. Furhtermore this cooler comes with a total of 44 fins. Prolimatech chose an identical fin design for both sides of the cooler. On top of the cooler there is a thick aluminium plate to cover the heatpipes. Furthremore this gives the cooler a very nice finish.
