Thermalright V2 Review
Thermalright - Introduction
Thermalright is one of the leading cooling solutions companies today.
The company is specializing in high end air coolers, the best that money
can buy, and it's products are leading in performance many times.
One of the main turning points of Thermalright was the introduction of
the SK-6, the leading Athlon XP cooler back in those old days, which had
many successors since for different sockets, until today's Ultra 120.
Thermalright V2
Thermalright products line is divided into 2 lines , the first one is called HR,
which is considered as one of the best coolers line available, and the other
one is the V series, which we will review the V2 which is part of it.
We will start with some technical details about the V2 :
Product's Page @ Manufacturer Site
From first sight we can see that thermalright is using same desing
as in it's cpu coolers, and the V2 is quite similiar to other good old known
cpu coolers of the company.
The V2 is a rectangle shaped heatsink, which makes him
"cover" the core of the graphic card, but it does not supply
solution to the other components of the video card.
Although at first sight the V2 looks quite massive, It's only 3 centimeters
high, a bit more than stnadart battery.
The V2 is made of copper, which is considered as an efficient heat leading
metal, which gives the V2 a very solid look.
The V2 has 4 heatpipes that come out of the surface that touches the
graphic core, which pass through 50 fins.
The heatpipes are directed to the side panel of the case, which
should help them as cold air will help cooling them.
For Complete Compatibility List Check Manufacturer Site.
Above you can see a list of video cards that the V2 can be installed
on them , the ones marked with asterisk are ones that will require
purchase of other coolers for components such as memroy and mosfets.
