Evercool Sharks

Evercool is not very well known in the enthusiast cooling market, but you will later see that their Sharks cooler is a very good start. As it says on the box, you can switch the fan speed from 12V (full speed) to 5V (very quiet) using a switch on the top of the cooler. The fan on the Sharks cooler is only 80mm, so it has to spin fast (and loud) to provide the same amount of air as a slow and quiet 120mm fan. Four nickel plated copper heatpipes stem from a very thick copper base. The aluminum fins are small, and the cooler itself takes up little space, therefore it would be good for smaller cases.


The base on the Sharks heatsink is very well finished, as you can see from our nickel’s clear reflection. The Sharks is bundled with a 775 mounting bracket, a backplate, a 939/754 clip, three sets of screws, thermal paste and instructions.

Installation

For socket 775 installation you will need the backplate, mounting bracket, the bag of screws labeled ‘For 775’, and the bag of large screws. This installation process is the simplest of all the coolers tested today. First, mount the 775 bracket using the small screws to the heatsink. Then stick the backplate though the motherboard holes, so you can see the ends.


Next apply thermal paste and guide the heatsink and finally screw on the large screws tightly with a Phillips head screwdriver. Attach the fan connector and set the desired fan speed. We tested both speeds.
