Conclusion

So in the end, Coolermaster once again restored my faith in their products.  They won out over Evercool and especially the stock heatsink.  And if that temperature difference alone isn't enough to make you want to buy the TX3, there's also the prices.  The TX3 can be had for under $25 on most online storefronts (check latest prices).  That's half the cost of the Transformer 6, which it outperformed, and only 1/3 more than the stock cooler.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Coolermaster Hyper TX3.  The price is right, and so are the temperatures.

	REPORT CARD : CoolerMaster Hyper TX3 Heatsink category rating comments Quality 4 Great construction, flat mounting surface. Innovation 4 Design is rather standard.  Direct contact with heatpipes is a great idea. Performance 4 Performs great against other mid-range coolers, and definately better than stock. Installation 4 Lots of installation options. Value 5 Excellent performance for only a little coin.   FINAL VERDICT: 4 out of 5 stars
