CoolerMaster DP5-6H11ZF1  

This cooler is meant for a Athlon 1.2 GHz and is thus a little over-stressed with the 1,33 Ghz used for testing. This must be taken into account when comparing it's performance to the rest of the candidates.

CoolerMaster DP5-5G11B  

Basically the things said above apply to this cooler, too, but even more, as the upper limit for this candidate is only a Athlon 1.1 GHz.
