The 3D Rocket II is a huge cooler, measuring 175mm tall and weighing 640g. With blue plastic fins and blue LEDs, its clearly aimed at enthusiasts. There are two fans: a 92mm one at the top and a smaller one at the bottom. They blow in opposite dire...

A few years back the original 3D Rocket blasted into our world and took away top honours in the performance stakes – now Gigabyte is here with the sequel, beefed up on steroids, growth hormones, and blowing out to Akira style proportions.Four heat p...

When the dust settles and all the tests are completed, we find ourselves looking at a very workable cooling solution. Ambient temperatures were on par with all previous testing and the smaller temperature differential speaks very well for the Gigabyte...

Today we take a look at Gigabyte’s latest HSF solution- the 3D Rocket II. Featuring a unique design, the 3D Rocket II works with any of the recent Intel or AMD CPU based motherboards. Features:• Universal Design for Intel P4 LGA775 / mPGA478 &...
Gigabyte has designed an excellent heatsink with the 3D rocket II that can compete head-on with other high-end solutions. We like the four heatpipes attached to the perfect machined lapped copper base and the fins to cool it down depending on the fan s...

Let nobody say that Gigabyte didn’t break the mold with its 3D Rocket II heatsink/fan combination. As the name alludes, the device resembles a rocket ship sitting atop a launch pad. It’s about as well strapped in, too; we applaud the 3D Rocket II for i...
Comes with decorative UVreactive fluorescent rings and a fan speed controller.
Pushes on the CPU a bit too much; design makes for a tricky installation.

When you hear the name Gigabyte you think motherboards, or at least I do. Actually Gigabyte makes a lot of different products ranging from video cards to laptops. Today we will be looking at one of their CPU cooling offerings, the 3D Rocket II. The 3D...
Very easy installation, Fan controller included, Fan duct system, Bright LEDs...
Poor thermal performance, Quite loud when fan is turned all the way up.
I was really expecting this cooler to perform better. The temperatures are acceptable, but I would not consider this a performance CPU cooler, so if you are looking for a CPU cooler for hardcore gaming or overclocking this one is not it. On the low sp...

We have recently tested a new CPU cooler from Thermaltake aka MaxOrb. Before this cooler came into the world, Thermaltake was quiet for almost three years having released nothing very exciting in this product family. Gigabyte Company seems to have done...
Simple and reliable installation, Universal design (supports all contemporary platforms), Good cooling of the aroundthesocket area, Low noise at minimal fan rotation speed, Highquality thermal grease, Bundled with fan rotation speed regulator, Impressive...
Insufficient cooling efficiency for the solution of this price range, Requires vent holes or a fan in the side panel of the system case, High noise at maximum fan rotation speed.
The results of our test session indicate that Gigabyte didn’t manage to create a winner to beat the current cooling efficiency leader. But this solution will still find its customer, no doubt about that. Stylish looks, universal design, relatively s...

The Gigabyte 3D Rocket II Cooler offers a range of performance based on the users needs, be that silent operation or raw performance. The included rheostats allow easy and quick adjustment to any point in between. Its nice to see that Gigabyte is...

It seems to me that Gigabyte has a very good air cooler. It is easy to mount and unmount once you have a retention ring attached to the motherboard ( you only need to use the one included if you have an LGA775). It is compatible with AMD64 including...

The Gigabyte 3D Rocket II GH-PCU23-VE heatsink FrostyTech is testing in this review can cool quietly when needed, and also ramps up for major heat loads.

Do you still remember the Rocket 3D cooler ? That is the cooler I am using right now in my Conroe system. The 3D Rocket was my preferred heatsink as it was quiet and has nice Blue LEDs. Most importantly, it fits all socket types (except AM2). 3D Roc...

From the results, we can see that the Gigabyte 3D Rocket II GH-PCU23-VE is definitely a very low noise yet high performance heatsink/fan that works on all platforms. With its duct design inherited from Rocket I, it also helps to cool down the MOSFETs...

The Thermaltake MaxOrb did extremely well in our , and we've now got through some fourteen heatsinks with yet more to come. Gigabyte may be well known for motherboards and then graphics cards and cases, but as a provider I can’t say I’ve ever heard...
Depending on your tolerance it may look a bit gimmicky, especially the "fluorescent bands" and copious use of blue plastic and LEDs, but it does include a variable fan controller none the less. That may not be a novel addition but it's extremely useful...

CPU coolers come and CPU coolers go, but only a select few really leave an impression on us. The GIGABYTE 3D Rocket II is one of those big impression makers. The Dual Rocket Airflow Design Fan Duct provides better performance and a silent enviro...
The falls into that unique category, but unique doesnt always make a product perform well. During my first batch of tests, the idle temp for my CPU was 33C with the fan at both the normal speed and OC speed settings. The results were the same wh...
