[Computex08] Thermalright launches new CPU coolers

Thermalright has launched several new processor coolers on the recent Computex. First off, there's the AXP-140 cooler, which has six thick heatpipes to transfer the heat from the core to the aluminum cooling block. The block is compatible with any standard 140mm fan, allowing he user to decide whether to go with silence, or performance. Because the fan on the AXP-140 is directed towards the socket, the chipsets and mosfets also get some of the airflow, something which may be quite handy during the overclocking of the latest generation motherboards.

Thermalright also showed the earlier announced True Black 120, a black version of the 120 eXtreme. The base of this cooler is made of copper, with aluminum cooling fins. A nickel coating gives the cooling block its black color. This cooler has the same specifications as the regular 120 eXtreme, but comes with the new 'Chill Factor 2' thermal paste. The True Black 120 has room for two 120mm fans and can be placed on AMD's AM2 socket and Intel's S775. 

The company also showed a version of its Ultra 120 eXtreme made entirely out of copper. Though this cooler would most likely have excellent performance, it will not be released because Thermalright reports the motherboard would crack under the heavy weight.
