The Thermalright MST-9775 LE is an Intel Core 2 Duo socket 775 heatsink designed with motherboards whose MOSFET cooling solutions are a little too bulky and too close the processor socket. It circumvents obvious problems of clearance by elevating the bulk of the cooling fins 45mm above the base. With its use, MOSFET heatsinks and other electrical components will have the freedom to breath.

Geared towards low noise computers, the Thermalright SI-128SE ships without a fan - but that doesn't mean it's intended to be used in an entirely passive manner. Rather, Thermalright expect you to install your own 120mm fan on the SI-128SE heatsink... call it BYOF. The SI-128SE cooler itself is big, a 120x120mm fin array hovering like SkyCity over a compact base connected via four 8mm diameter heatpipes. The Thermalright SI-128SE's many fins are perforated with lots of little vents, a technique borrowed from Thermalright's HR-series. Accommodating AMD K8 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ and Intel socket 775 processors.

With the latest designs, many motherboard manufacturers have started producing boards with chipset/mosfet heatsinks onboard, linked together with heatpipes. The HR-09 mosfet cooler was designed for those users with motherboards that either have an ineffective stock chipset/mosfet cooling system, or that don't have one at all.

Thermalright announced their new cooler dubbed the HR-11 VGA Backside Cooler. The HR-11 has dual heat pipes and a large surface area to offer additional cooling, with minimal effort required for installation. The HR-11 will even work in a SLI / Crossfire condition on today's latest cards.

Thermalright combines the best of their blow-down coolers with the unique design of the high-riser series to bring us the SI-128 SE. Instead of "Second Edition" as you might think, the "S" in SE is for Silent, something their HR line of coolers was quite good at.

If you have not heard of Thermalright they make some of the most unique and powerful CPU coolers on the market today. They really specialize in heatsink design, a lot of their coolers perform great without fans. Most of them don't even ship with fans. Their latest offering is the IFX-14 (Inferno Fire eXtinguisher), which features an extremely large surface area (140mm x 120mm), 4 large 8mm heatpipes, and a very unique back-side dual heatpipe heatsink.

Today HardwareLogic takes a look at a unique product from Thermalright: The HR-11 VGA Backside Cooler. Wait, backside VGA cooler you say?? Exactly! While we spent the better part of an evening trying to understand the value of the HR-11, we came away with an idea, even if we weren't overwhelmed by its performance.

Heatsinks for modern processors are slowly getting bigger and bigger, in fact many are too big to fit in a standard case. There is an obvious limit on the amount of metal that you can strap to your core before limitations creep in (motherboard component conflict, case size, weight etc.). As a result Thermalright have come up with the IFX-14 (Infernal Fire eXtinguisher) which not only supports up to a 14cm fan, but also a backplate cooler. Interesting, but does it actually affect the all-important silicon temperature?

The Thermalright HR-03 Plus performance VGA card cooler has been on the market for a while now, but is it still the king of the VGA coolers if you believe some people. In this review we put it up against the newest offering from Zalman and see which is the best cooler for your GeForce 8800 Series card at the moment.

Thermalright has a real winner on their hands in the V2 cooler. There's a lot of performance in this compact heatsink and the CrossFire/SLI user, as well as HTPC enthusiasts, should take notice. In passive cooling mode it adequately (and silently) cooled this factory overclocked 7900 graphics card. Adding an inexpensive 80mm fan resulted in outstanding cooling performance.

I was on the Thermalright website looking for more information on the HR-05 SLI when I saw the latest version, the HR-05 IFX SLI. It wasn't listed on any online stores, and I didn't see any published reviews, so we contacted them and they agreed to send over a review sample of this brand new chipset cooler. The IFX version is fairly similar to the original HR-05 SLI, but the new "Wild Fire" design catches your eye as something different right away.

Another Thermalright review comes to an end and the improvements made on the Ultra 120 eXtreme from its predecessor have been very beneficial. Installation is simple and the included backplates give stability to the system and alleviates the risk of damaging your motherboard or having an improper installation. However, the Ultra 120 eXtreme shines most when it comes to performance. It was able to keep up with my TEC cooler with ease and it smoked the rest of the competition.

While CPU's are continuing to get more and more power efficient and cooler, the heatsinks that are strapped on top continue to get larger. The current trend seems to be large, tower heatsinks with plenty of heatpipes sending heat to the fins. Today I have the ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme heatsink that features the ability to mount a slow spinning 120mm fan.

With graphics cards becoming more and more power hungry, its only logical that they are going to generate more and more heat. Today HL tackles the HR-03 VGA Cooler from the cooling experts Thermalright. Is the HR-03 Plus a worthy replacement for the stock cooling on your NVIDIA 8800 GTS or GTX?

The Thermalright Ultra-90 heatsink is more compact than its brethern, but remarkably the performance differences aren't nearly as large as you might expect. The reference list above illustrates very well how most Intel heatsinks react to 150W of heat from the CPU test die... In this case though, the Thermalright Ultra-90 proved itself exceptionally!
