Spire Corp has officially introduced their new high-end tower CPU cooler. Gemini is the Zodiac sign for the twins. The company has codenamed their newest high-end thermal solution due to the two towering dimpled fin heat-sinks. Gemini is the ultimate evolution of the TherMax CPU cooler series. The increased number of heat-pipes combined with a higher number and density of dimpled fins and crowned with two high airflow fans for extreme cooling performance. Six U-shaped 6mm heat-pipes are in contact through the solid copper base with the CPU, rapid heat transfer to the 52 aluminum dimpled fins providing a larger surface area for optimum heat dissipation.

The Gemini is supplied with two 12cm balanced DC fans providing high airflow. There are three versions of the Gemini, this because of different noise level requirements from users. One demands better cooling and cares less for noise, others want to build a silent system. The only difference is in the fan type. Part #SP986B1-V2 comes without PWM and PCI fan speed controller. Part #SP986B1-V2-P comes with PWM (4pin) controlled fans and the third version, part #SP986B1-V2-2P comes with PWM & PCI fan speed controller included. Compatibility is guaranteed with multi-platform mounting for all current Intel and AMD micro-processors.

Main features:
- Six 6mm all copper U-shaped sinter-powder heat-pipes;
- Copper base in direct contact with all of the processor area;
- Straight lined heat-pipes allowing air to easily pass through;
- 52 stamped aluminum wide fins for best surface rate;
- Dimpled surface fin for increased heat transfer rate;
- All black-Nickel coated to preserve killer looks from oxidation;
- Two 120mm BlackStar 9 blade fan design;
- PWM & PCI Fan speed control management (SP986B1-V2-2P);
- Anti-Vibe soft fan corners, spring mounted fan clips;
- Supports AM2/AM3 socket 939/940/ 775/1155/1156 & 1366.

The Gemini CPU Cooler is compatible with the latest ATX boards based on the Intel and AMD Micro-processors sockets 775/1155/1156/1366 for Intel and AM2/AM3/940/939 for AMD (not G34 compatible).
