CPU Cooler Roundup

Kanie Hedgehog 238-M

This is one of the two coolers with all copper heatsinks in this roundup. The Kanie Hedgehog 238-M is really heavy, among the heaviest in this roundup. In fact, the weight of this cooler doesn't meet AMD's recommendations.

At the first glance, this cooler is rather handsome. The bottom is flat and smooth. Nice job there. The clip used is similar to those used by the Alpha coolers. Even the pin layout is pretty similar to that of the Alpha PAL6035. They even use a shroud, just like Alpha coolers.

But the packaging is nicer and they even have a warning sticker on the heatsink. Copper is heavier than aluminium and yet softer. So, the sticker warns you not to handle the pins directly. Instead, you should let it slide out of the box.

A manual was included along with all the screws, clip, shroud and the fans because the entire unit came disassembled! Just like Alpha. A lot of similarity among them, right? They are both from Japan and just like the Alpha, the clip is difficult to install.
