ThermalRight SP-97 Heatpipe Cooler

[dutchman.pt]

O novo dissipador da ThermalRight , o SP-97 Heatpipe Cooler é bastante semelhante com os Slk, inclusive no peso, que continua a ser um factor que nestes dissipadores me assusta imenso.
570 Grs não é brincadeira nenhuma para estar suspenso numa Motherboard, mesmo por muito bom que seja o sistema de prender o dissipador continua-me a assustar um pouco a ideia...:scared: :scared: :scared:




Introduction

The world of high performance air cooling for processors is alive and well. You would think with the increased availability and improvements on water cooling kits that air cooling would be suffering a slow death. This could not be further from the truth. ThermalRight, always known as making some of the most efficient and innovative coolers around, offers their newest big gun, the SP-97. The ThermalRight SP-97 is designed as a heatpipe cooling solution for AMD that can handle several fan sizes. Thanks to Sidewinder Computers, we take an opportunity to see what the SP-97 is all about. White paper please.



Specifications

Dimensions: 59 (W) x 50 (H) x 99 (D) mm - the width and depth taper down to 55 (W) x 58 (L) mm at the base

Construction: Copper

Observed Weight: 570 gms

Fan: not included

Clip: Mainboard mounting bracket via holes around CPU socket



Conclusion

The king is dead, long live the king. The ThermalRight SP-97 now takes the crown of being the best performing air cooler we have ever tested here. The all copper construction with the three heatpipes allowed the SP-97 to shave off almost a full two degrees Celsius off the performance of its hybrid brother the ALX-800.

The ability to run 92mm fans be they 25 or 38mm thick in addition to standard 80mm fans should not be quickly forgotten. A 92 x 92 x 25 mm fan is a nice high flow acceptable noise option for coolers that can handle that sized fan. The SP-97 is one of the few that can. The fan mounting clips long known as a ThermalRight trademark, are wonderful and make for securing a fan quick and easy. With installation on the tip of my tongue here, while I never like having to remove a mainboard, the installation of the cooler to the board was without unnecessary hassles. Weighing as much as it does and being as large as it is, allow it to cool to this level. With this in mind, you can't argue about the SP-97's secure mounting.

The ALX-800 earned our Editor's Choice based on its performance and how inexpensive it was. ThermalRight racks up another Editor's Choice Award on the SP-97's brute force cooling and innovation. Hats off to ThermalRight for producing and exceptional cooler. Thanks again to Sidewinder Computers for making this review possible.

O peso destes coolers eh sem duvida imponente, mas tambem o eh a sua performance e por isso compensa perfeitamente. Alem do mais, como tu proprio o afirmas, o sistema de acoplagem ah board eh bastante bom. ;)

se eu ja adoro o meu slk800 atao esta pekena grande bomba deve ser um autentiko mimo :D


"oh yeah he(CPU)'s on fire :mad: " muahahaha :teeth:

[Mr.Mike]

Ainda nem acredito que este dissipador me desceu 20ºC de temperatura!!! Fica espectacular na Abit NF7-S! Aconselho absolutamente!:D
