	Pure Copper Base Pure copper base maximizes heat transfer quickly
	Silent 120mm Fan Sickle blade design produces huge airflow and decreases noise
	5 Heat Pipes / High Density Fins 5 heat pipes transfer heat to the fins efficiently High density fins creates excellent heat dissipation

Special Features
CPU and Board Cooler The default silent fan (120x120x25mm) can be easily exchanged to two 92mm/80mm fans for complete cooling solution. It draws cool air to cool CPU and its surrounding components (memory, VRM, chipset and etc.)
Flexible Fan Bracket Design Flexible mechanical design supports single 120mm fan or two 92mm/80mm fans. And the adjustable bracket is movable to avoid any interference **80mm and 92mm fans are optional

  "The Geminii S performed fairly well, keeping pace with the Shuriken and LOW-7000 until fan speeds were decreased drastically. It's affordable, has a good solid mounting system and ships with a surprisingly good fan with excellent acoustics. If you have enough space to accommodate the Geminii S, it is a worthwhile investment."

  This CPU cooler has a lot going for it. Starting with pure aesthetics, this is one nice looking unit with a unique design. Four separate banks of cooling fins are sandwiched by a 120mm fan, all of which are connected to the base of the heatsink via eight different heat pipes. Cooler Master integrated a rheostat-style fan speed controller, accessible by using the included add-in card slot. All of the necessary hardware is included for installation as well as a tube of thermal paste.

  The Cooler Master GeminII S isn't exactly perfect but I think disregarding the minor problems of this cooler the GeminII S is a great value. There are many places online to buy this cooler, all of which price for about $35. Considering that this is one of the better CPU coolers we've reviewed when it comes to cooling temperatures I have to say this is a Good Value. ThinkComputers awards the Cooler Master GeminII S CPU + Board Cooler an 8 out of 10 score and our Good Value Award.

  Apart from the laborious process of getting this cooler installed; testing this CPU cooler was an extremely fun and rewarding process. I used an AMD Opteron 1214, a processor known for putting out quite a bit of heat while under load. The CoolerMaster GeminII S lived up to the marketing hype and the legacy of the other CoolerMaster products. Using the default thermal compound the GeminII S kept my fully loaded processor within 4.7 Celsius of the ambient tempterature while fully loaded. The Stock OEM cooler was only able to maintain a 12.2 Celsius differential making the GeminII S around 60% more efficient.
  
  Overall, I was very impressed by the performance and construction of this product. My board and configuration does not support overclocking, but I would expect that if one were to try this cooler out in an overclocking situation that it would easily allow a 300-800Mhz overclock on just air cooling. These numbers depend of course on many other factors but are a good guess based on the temperatures that I was able to maintain with this cooler. At an average selling price of around $40, the CoolerMaster GeminII S would make a welcome addition to your already hot rig.

  “Overall the Coolermaster GeminII S is a very good heatsink for both Intel and AMD platforms when running at full fan speed, particularly if we consider its compact height…bottom line, the Coolermaster GeminII S is a good thermal option hampered by cumbersome mounting system.”
