Core i7 coolers test
The Thermalright refrigerator cannot be called new. The fact that he could still be included in this article is because it is good. It's that simple. It was good when it came out, but its performance is sufficient to this day. Fortunately, the manufacturer doesn't forget about its old products either, so what we deserve, we can get new and new clamps with which we can install them on newer processors as well.
The rib is not moving towards the old thermaright traditions. It is a standing rib in this case, consisting of a copper base, copper pipes and aluminum fins. Interestingly, the manufacturer nickelizes everything it is worth, so nothing is what it seems. The sole is really copper, even when clogged with a yellowish sheen.
The polished, slightly scratched sole is connected to the bottom lamellas by six tubes. The tubes leave the sole in two directions so they can suck the heat in 12 directions. Of particular interest is that the slats are bent slightly at their edges to break the airflow path and direct some of the air to the motherboard. However, it may not be enough to change the direction of the air to cool the motherboard.
Let the numerical characteristics come again so that we can get into the test afterwards!
