About the Product

Vortex Plus is a low profile CPU cooler with compact size but uncompromising cooling efficiency. The compact feature best suits in HTPC chassis or chassis with slim width and limited space. The balanced PWM fan works to provide high airflow under high RPM mode.

Engineered to quickly dissipate heat from a CPU, the GeminII M4 is built with direct contact heatpipes that minimize CPU contact gaps and provide excellent heat conduction. The GeminII M4 is the ultimate answer to space-constrained setups such as mini-ITX, HTPC, and any small-sized desktop PC.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Cooler Master Vortex Plus CPU Cooler

I bought this to give some help to a CPU in a smaller case. It fits quite nicely.
It is a good quality, and fit well inside my case.
The cooler is of good size and can be easily installed in my case.
A bit of a pain to install due to its size.
The weight of the cooler breaks off the ends of the pins and the whole assembly flops loose.

Low profile and good fit. Great CPU cooler.
Low profile enough to fit in my HTPC with no clearance issues.
It fits many slim-case/HTPC systems.
This cooler is excellent for a low profile need and is nearly silent running.
You may lose the use of one or more DIMM slots.
