Last week I had the pleasure of reviewing the CM 690 from CoolerMaster.  It turned out to be an awesome case.  Along with the case, CoolerMaster sent over their soon to be released CM Sphere heatsink.  The heatsink looks incredibly cool, but we all know that performance is the main thing that matters when it comes to heatsinks.  Let's take a look at this badboy and see if it performs as well as it looks.
