Thermalright - Products History

Products History

• 2001: SK6

SK-6 is the firstly launched heat sink by Thermalright. They only sold the heat sink itself without providing fan-and heat sink at that time. The SK-6 was covered and piled by fin-tube copper, which is different from that manufactured by die-cast aluminum. With the size of 60mm and uniquely designed heat sink fan fixation, SK6 is a breakthrough in the past. Apparently, Thermalright makes the milestone for heat sink products.

• Feb. 2002: AX7

AX-7 is the second heat sink by Thermalright. With the size of 70mm and soldered by copper and aluminum, AX-7 is different from the mainstream of 60mm fan and heat sink at that time.

• Dec. 2002: SLK800

SLK800 is covered and piled by fin-tube copper as well as SK-6. With the size of 80mm and weight of 400g, SLK800 was kept an eye on its thickness of 38mm fix fan.

• 2003: SP94

SP94 is the first heat sink manufacturing with the heat pipe as a medium of thermal conductivity. With the size of 90mm and capability to fix 80mm fan, SP94 is undoubtedly a cutting edge heat sink at that time. SP series have two kinds of product collocating different CPU.

• 2004: XP120

XP120 is the first-to-market heat sink when it’s rare for motherboard supporting the specification of 120mm fan at that time. 120mm fan is only set in the extractor fan of big case and 80mm fan is set in the general case. SP94 heat sink has 5 thermal conductors on itself and with high efficiency. Many of other board manufacturers will wider the CPU’s Keep out Zone in order to install this kind of huge heat sink.

• 2005: Ultra120

AS the trend of overclocking becomes a global phenomenon and niche market, the design of heat sinks transformed from horizontal cooler to tower cooler. Ultra120, with the size of 160mm, is the first tower cooler by Thermalright. Even today, the computer case manufacturers set the height of widely used 160mm of tower cooler as the design standard.

• 2005: HR-01

HR-01 is designed by Thermalright for the need of mute cooler in demand. With the wind deflector attached, it’s not necessary to install a fan on itself because the back-case fan is enough to play the role of the thermal conductor. The unique aperture on the fin-tube heat sink can increase the windage area of the thermal conductor.

• 2006 Ultra120 extreme

Ultra120 extreme (also called U120E) has six thermal conductors. From the appearance, we can tell Ultra120E is an updated version of old heatsink. However, not only is it a brand new one, but also, from the efficiency test report issued by Anandtech, the efficiency of U120E was proved to be a better version. Thermalright then declared that the copper-base heatsink is manufactured with protruding face, not flat one, which is different from the concept of thermal conduct as convention would have it. Afterwards, Thermalright manufactured the Ultra120E heatsink with protruding face, fascinating other heatsink manufacturers following with this concept.

• 2010: HR-02

HR-02 is another product designed for the need of mute cooler in demand by Thermalright. The combination of fin-tube and thermal conductor is not centered and symmetrical. If HR-02 is installed in the case, the system fan is close to heat sink itself enough to fulfill the need of passive heat sink passively.
