Today we take a look at the newest heatsink offered by TR2TT featuring the X-blower fan, the TR2-M4.

The first thing that strikes you with this heatsink is the strangely designed fan. This fan i believe was first seen on an aero 7+. The Blower fan is a new fan design concept with Two-way air induction for optimum air flow. The idea is the air from the fan would spread evenly on a heatsink.

After examining the heatsink i have to conclude that it seems to be the same design as the TR2-m3 model.
It's constructed of aluminum with the same "slab" of copper screwed into the heatsink. It also includes the same easy to use clip that was on the TR2-M3.
