--- Appearance, Specification and Compatibility

Appearance

At 852g, the Evo Blue is 96g heavier than its passive counterpart – not far from twice the Intel-recommended limit - and it's wider and deeper, too. Dimensions are 138(h) x 112(w) x 100(d) mm.



As the heat-sink is the same as with the Evo 98, there isn't much more to add, except to say that the removal of the plastic shroud on the cooler is only possible if you first remove the pre-fitted fan.



Even though the Evo Blue ships with one fan as standard there is a spare set of screws included in the box for attaching a second fan on the other side.
