The FSP MP7 Black air cooler is available in an unassuming black box, which features the product and name prominently. The lineup includes four options for the MP7 variant, including versions with white coloring and addressable RGB LED fans. The manufacturer’s logo is located on the top left corner of the packaging. A tagline reading “Unparalleled Cooling Performance” appears beneath the product name.
Further details regarding features and specifications are printed on both sides of the box. For comprehensive data, the manufacturer’s website provides specific technical specifications for the Model: MP7-B.
Key specifications include a Thermal Wattage of 280W and a weight of 990g. The cooler is designed to support both Intel LGA platforms (including 1954 / 1851 / 1700 / 1200) and AMD AM5/AM4 sockets. Its dimensions measure 125 x 123.5 x 153 mm, while the fans are sized at 120 x 120 x 25 mm.
The cooling unit utilizes an aluminum alloy heatsink and incorporates six copper heat-pipes with a base plate. The included two FSP 120mm fans operate via PWM, offering speeds from 800 to 1800 RPM. Performance metrics include a static pressure of 2.1 mm H2O, air flow of 76 CFM, and a noise level of 32 dBA.
Physically, the FSP MP7 Black is described as clean and unassuming, utilizing proper materials such as aluminum and nickel-plated copper to balance weight and thermal conductivity. The unit features two matching FSP 120mm fans that can attach with wire clips for flexible placement. From a design perspective, it maintains adequate height clearance and sufficient space under the front fan for memory installation, hovering only over the nearest RAM slot.
The installation process is reported to be straightforward, mounting in place through a familiar procedure.
In terms of performance, the MP7 Black demonstrates an ability to move heat despite its relatively compact size. While it may not rival larger 140mm cooling solutions, testing indicated that it successfully keeps test machines running smoothly.
The operational noise output was assessed as acceptable during regular use, though the unit might not be the quietest cooler available.
The article noted several points regarding the product’s usability and accessibility. First, the included thermal paste was found to be slightly too solid for easy application onto the processor. Second, users must retain the accompanying screwdriver, as it is necessary for installing the MP7 Black through specific holes. Furthermore, availability in the USA might prove difficult, as the unit has not been available from most retailers.
At its release, the FSP MP7 Black and its variants held an MSRP of $50 USD, positioning it as a reasonably priced option for consumers seeking a low-footprint air cooler capable of effective heat dissipation.
