Thermalright XP-120 News!

Thrawn42 · Jun 23, 2004

I recently emailed Thermalright about acquiring the new XP-120 (Aluminum 5-heat pipe ~300g) heatsink and have just received a response.

I was expecting just to be shut down. Little did I suspect they would actually give me a release window for bleeding thing!

That's right...according to Thermalright, the XP-120 may be available for sale online as early as next week!

SAAA-weet! I have been waiting for it. I wonder who will have it first? Zipzoomfly, Newegg, or SVC?

Ohh...if this hasn't been done for you yet....WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

OOOOOOOOOO Gimme gimme gimme

Some of those fans that WA2 is selling in the classifieds will go nicely with that

Awesome. Now all they need to do is get one out for the AMD's, I'm suprised they didn't make one for the AMD's first, we are better then the P4's anyway

It's for 478? or 775?

Thrawn42 · Jun 23, 2004

Thanks for the welcome.

And as far as I know it's for 478

dead_man311 · Jun 23, 2004

Sweet I cant wait to see that heatsink on a system. really see how big it is

PCGUY112887 · Jun 23, 2004

OMFG I JUST bought a SP-97 AHH!
Even thought it's the Intel one, the AMD one can't be far behind.

CircuitBreaker8 · Jun 23, 2004

Guess i'll hold off on buying the SP94

PCGUY112887 · Jun 23, 2004

Also we gotta think, how many mobo's is it going to fit on? I mean, it looks HUGE.

Thrawn42 · Jun 23, 2004

I don't think it will be that much of a problem. If you look at all views of it, it would seem it has a small base and sprouts out to a large top. Depending on your board of course it will slightly cover the North bridge but I don't think it will interfere with the RAM.

This should even fit over my OTES cooling on my IC7-MAX3.

Ian Cody · Jun 23, 2004

Im pretty sure most the surface area(read HUGENESS) is at the top, as far from mobo as possible, the heatpipes help to spread the heat evenly over that distance.

CircuitBreaker8 · Jun 23, 2004

How much do you guys think itll be? Also, that thing is LIGHT, what is it made of?

I am thinking about $44 USD IMHO and it is made of aluminium with poss a copper base

PCGUY112887 · Jun 23, 2004

I just paid $44.95 for a SP97

And it's somewhere around 530grams....

Another cavet is if you have a tall n/b active cooler, you can kiss that good bye. Also, the sp94 will still outperform the 120 when high rpm fans are used. So don't throw out that tornado just yet.

Radical · Jun 23, 2004

SWEET! I didn't think it would be out this soon! It's too bad it's only for Intels, though.

CircuitBreaker8 · Jun 23, 2004

Argh, I want it now. Oh well, I can wait till next week. It supports 120mm fans right?
