All Reviews | More Computer Hardware Reviews Cooler Master Black Label Limited Edition BundleDate: 2009-03-03 Reviewed by: Shane McGlaun Manufacturer: Cooler Master
Features & Specifications An airflow cover runs over the top of the video card to direct cooling air over the top of the video card and has the number of the limited edition chassis on it. My review unit is number 89 of 500 in the entire world. Other items included with the bundle are the Hyper Z600 Black Label CPU cooler that is all black in appearance and has an improved PWM fan and airflow cover. The bundle also includes a UCP-700W PSU that is clad in all black. Build and Use The tinted side panel is very dark making it had to see inside the case, but if you there a few lights inside it would look really good. The covering duct that runs across the top of the video card is black tinted plastic and has a label signifying the limited edition nature of the Black Label bundle and showing the serial number. My review bundle is number 89 out of the 500 available globally. The power supply included with the bindle is 700W and has the same features of the normal UCP 700 power supply. The PSU is black and doesn’t appear to offer anything the stock power supply doesn't. The Black Label Z600 cooler is limited edition and this bundle is the only place you will find it in the black color. The cooler is massive, but it fit onto eh crowded NVIDIA 780i Ultra mainboard my test machine uses with no problems. The cooler features a single large fan for cooling, but it includes clips that will allow the use of a second fan of the same size if you desire. The all black version of the cooler is labeled with special Black Label lettering. The cooler is universal and will fit AMD and Intel processors. I used it on me LGA 775 CPU without any issues. The cooler is very heavy at aver two pounds so you need to be sure you secure it well. Heat pipe technology is used to channel the heat away from the CPU with six heat pipes total. The fan spins at 2000 rpm and is surprisingly quiet in operation. Building inside the Cosmos Black chassis was very easy and convenient. I still very much like the design of the chassis with its multiple hidden internal hard drive bays and mesh expansion covers on the front for improved cooling. The limited edition chassis adds a pair of 120mm fans in the top of the case for added cooling and has one fan on the rear of the case and one on the bottom just ahead of the PSU. The case has the depth that large 1000W and higher power supplies with larger designs should fit with no problems. The biggest issue I had with the bundle was the power supply. I wasn't able to use the included power supply since it really doesn’t have enough power for 3-way SLI. With a bundle that sells for over $500, Cooler Master should have included the largest power supply they offer with at least 1000W.
