Introduction:

   Not much to say here, Thermaltake sent an RX K8 for me to review, at first glance, it's a fairly normal CPU cooler, by that I mean it doesn't stick out 3 feet in every direction, blink with 12 blindly bright LED's.

Fan

   The fins and base are all copper, thin, but sturdy. The finish on the base is far from shiny, I know a lot of people put a lot of stock in a perfect base, but I don’t care what it looks like, as long as it works.

   Of course the fan is a special touch, with almost no frame, it supposedly makes it quieter. I do like the look it gives the heatsink, sort of minimalist.
