I have been wondering, is it airflow finish, or, aircushion finish?

It says,"Performance Finish".They fan beautifully. I recommend that you go onto magicafe.com to find out more.They are very cool. Steve

Thankfully the thermal compound is not pre applied on the heatsink. It comes in a little plastic sleeve, seperatly. I would definitely apply the artic silver 5 compound instead of what comes with the heatsink. By the way this closed loop cooler is AWESOME. Lemme know if you have any other questions about it.

I got a white one so I do not know about the cocoa finish. I will say that this is VERY quiet and effective fan. We love it! My only regret is we did not install one years ago.

I have the chrome finish... It matches the faucet in the bathroom. I believe it comes in several finishes.

Not sure but there is a finish, I would contact the manufacturer. Sorry I was of no help. :(

Generally, air comes in from the front-bottom, and exits the back-top. The side should bring air in as well.If you pull air out of the case halfway along the airflow path, you kind of mess up the intended flow design for most cases.

It's just Corsair's model#/part# for their Vengence Airflow Memory Fan. If I had to guess, it's probably short for Corsair MemorY AirFlow (capitalizing the C, M, Y, A, and F to come up with a part #). Hope that helps! I have it myself, and it works well. It's very quiet, and the rotating fan logo looks cool if your PC case has a window. I definitely recommend it.

The top is aluminum with black finish. My 2004 Avalanche 5.3 has no issues with the fan shroud.

Yes its called thermal paste. Arctic Silver is a good one. Not too much though... you don't want it spilling out over sides, just a nice even layer.

Airflow is fine, I can cool a high end GPU (GTX680) and OC my i7 to 4.4Ghz if I want and it keeps temperatures acceptable. The door was well thought out, and there is enough space not to limit the fan. The only thing of note is that, one of the openings of the door is more "open" then the other for air flow. That "open" end you will want to face away from where you are sitting, or else the noise you perceive from sitting at the desk will go up.

I'd call it bronze or a brushed brass. Definitely a darker, flatter finish.

Blue...pretty bright too. I'd recommend you put that fan in the front for effect and buy two or three more aftermarket fans for extra cooling

The finish appears to be more a cherry finish. I bought the large one and it's perfect.

According to their own website, this is "chrome" finish. The other more expensive version is "stainless steel" finish and is for "professional use".

It is not a brushed finish. To the best of my estimation (as a chem. engineer), it is close to a 304SS-2B finish. Here is a photo link to that type of finish: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Types+of+Stainless+Steel+Finishes&FORM=RESTAB#view=detail&id=D446CBE7BB27EE9ED7137743EFA2FC9031A6E459&selectedIndex=59 Hope this helps.

I don't understand this question. "when I was using the compound that came with the cooler" Were you using the paste that came with the cooler master cooler or artic silver 5?
