Here is another one, for some reason yours would not load for me. But oh well figured I would add this on for ya. looks like a clean cooler.

I wonder what the temps would be without the fans? This sink would look beast on an open bench. You gotta show off dem fins.

Asymmetrical heat pipe configuration, rubber bumper stoppers on the fans, stepped fin stack design, shouldn't they be giving some credit to Noctua?

Also is the fin stack soldered or just press-fit?

Going to bet the highend will have 6 pipes and bigger. Only issue is, I can never find their new products in the US. So it's a default Noctua.

It’s the other way around. Noctua should be giving credit to Thermalright.

I wonder how it compares to the TS140P

 

[Penicilyn]

So it's a NH-D14?

NH-D14 clone, maybe. more importantly though it's an NH-D14 clone without the Noctua tax and the **** brown hue.

Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT tends to beat or match the NH-D15 (depends what review you look at) for less money, no reason to think this won't be a similar story.

Thermalright had a two-tower cooler named "IFX-14" over ten years ago, that's older than the NH-D14. That old cooler also had four extra thick 8mm heat-pipes, just like this new one here.

I remember it, think I had an Thermalright SI-128 at the time it was relevant.

they had a pretty crazy aftermarket NB cooler too that I remember

So does TS140P, and it does it for fifty bucks. I don’t think this is a D14 clone, maybe an evolution of the IFX. Remember, Thermalright was here first, by years.. if anything Noctua cloned some of their ideas.. not that I’m saying they did.. but I remember the first time I saw a Noctua product and thought they copied Thermalrights style. Just saying..

i love that mounting system:

looks ~same as my old D14 which was so easy to take the heatsink off every few months to clean it - my 110 y/o house is really bad w/dust.

It does have that Noctua look to it.

Dammit! 😄

You know Thermalright did the offset heatpipe configuration way before noctua right? Ever since the HR-22 IIRC.

I'm sure Thermalright and Noctua have taken bits and pieces of each others designs over the years, It'd be hard to say who owes who the most credit at this point.

Those fatty heatpipes, dang! Looks really nice, have always loved Thermalright products

Wow, that's a hell of a bargain if it's true. Maybe that price is without fans?
