Thermalright Intros Macho MAXX, a Meaty Tower-type CPU Cooler



Thermalright today introduced the Macho MAXX, its latest single-tower type CPU coolers. The Macho line of tower-type coolers see Thermalright’s designers choose a single large aluminium fin-stack over a “D-type” dual fin-stack approach. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 140 mm x 124 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH), weighing 780 g.

The design of the Macho MAXX involves a nickel-plated C1100-grade copper base, from which six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes emerge, conveying heat across the large stack of 31 fins, which is ventilated by a 140 mm TL-D14 fan. This fan turns at speeds of up to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 77.8 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.09 mm H?O static pressure, and up to 25.6 dBA noise output. It features a fluid-dynamic bearing. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, LGA1200, and AM4. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
