Thermalright XP-120: 1st 120mm fan CPU heatsink

· by John Chen

Thermalright’s latest bad boy is the first to sport a 120mm fan. It’s pretty much known that this is the current best performing heatsink.

“With Intel CPUs far exceeding the 100W mark, you knew it was going to come to this, sooner or later: A massive heatsink designed to work with a 120mm fan for a new level of air cooling. Thermalright is the first out of the gate with their XP120. Thin aluminum fins, a very large radiant surface, copper base and heatpipes. Simply put: Its performance, even with very low noise, sweeps aside every other HS.”
