Thermalright Frost Spirit CPU Cooler

[DoctorNick]

A new king in town?

Here are some of the first pictures of the Frost Spirit by Thermalright, the company's next flagship air CPU cooler. Featuring a dual fin-stack design, the Frost Spirit features dense fin-stacks, in which the fins bunch up toward the center, creating turbulence and increasing heat-dissipation to the medium (air-flow). The fin-stack gets slimmer toward the base, adding clearance for your motherboard's memory and CPU VRM areas. Four 8 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes pull heat from the mirror-finish nickel-plated copper base, spreading it across the fin-stacks. Both stacks are capped off by metal top-plates. Up to three 140 mm fans can be mounted. The heatsink weighs 1 kg on its own (without fans). Among the CPU socket types supported are AM4, LGA115x, and LGA2066. It could see a product launch soon.

Certainly looks nice!

I wish Noctua also make CPU coolers with 8mm heatpipes

Does it really matter anymore? The performance is going to be similar to those in its weight class. 

 

The cooling scene needs something incredible if it wants to be interesting again

Could be better per dollar than existing solutions

Would it beat the prosiphon that  Linus reviewed recently?

Who would know, but should be on par with NH-D15

There is no way this will cost only 37 USD. TRUE coolers were expensive and they were single tower. There is no way this will cost this little. Looks good though, like the industrial finish without any fancy decorations or plastic shrouds.

They even beat Noctua with the ugliest colors for the fans. 

 

How the mighty have fallen.

It might be the price without fans. Still low, but closer to what you would expect.

It's really hard to beat Noctua's Skin and Diarrhea color scheme...

You take that back right now

I use 4u rack case with dust filter on front for my computers, so who cares what it looks like as long as it works

looks like the same standard with bigger pipes

we need more exotic air cooling

[suicidalfranco]
