Features:
Physically, the 92mm Core-Contact Freezer looks very similar to it's older brother, the 120mm Core-Contact freezer. Both have the heatsink composed of aluminum fins with 4 U shaped, 6mm heatpipes going through the middle (Although the 92mm version is obviously smaller). These heatpipes, as the name implies, use "Core-Contact Technology". In layman's terms that simply means the bottom of the heatpipes directly touch the CPU. This is unique because most heatpipe coolers have the heatpipes simply flow through a solid aluminum or copper base - not very many put the pipes directly on the CPU. Sunbeam also claims that the alignment of the heatpipes helps to "enhance heat dispersing performance".

Sitting on top of the heatpipes on the opposite side that contacts the CPU is another small aluminum heatsink block. As you can see in my pictures, the design of this small heatsink replaces the traditional long fins in favor of several rows of broken-up fins. Although it won't do a lot, this small heatsink will aid in pulling that extra little amount of heat from the pipes before it reaches the main heatsink further up.

All the different mounting brackets screw onto the base heatsink, as was the same with the original Core-Contact Freezer. As you can see in my compatibility listing above, this heatsink is compatible with almost all major CPU socket types still in widespread use - including the latest Core i7 by using an aftermarket retention bracket set from Sunbeam.

The 92mm fan that is used is a silent MFDB (Magnetic Fluid Dynamic Bearing) Sunbeam branded fan. MFDB fans are popular for not only their lower noise output but also their significantly longer life than ball/sleeve bearing fan types. Sunbeam rates this one at 50,000 hours. Running at 1200~2200 RPM this fan can push 30.5~40.5 CFM of air at varying noise levels. The back of the box simply says that the "ultra-silent low-noise level" of this fan is 16db, but if you spin it around and read the side you'll see that it can go up to 27.3dBA. Instead of using the increasingly popular PWM method to automatically control the fan speed, Sunbeam has opted to use a manual slot-based fan controller dial instead. Found inside the box, this controller is easily mounted in any empty slot you have at the back of your computer case (so it won't be the most "accessible" for some).

Included with the Core-Contact Freezer 92mm, just like the 120mm version, is a full syringe of Tuniq's TX-2 thermal compound (Tuniq is a division of Sunbeam). I was happy to see this is an actual retail packaged tube of their thermal compound, not just some "one time application sampler"!
