Thermalright CPU and SSD Coolers at Computex 2024

Thermalright brought several new CPU and M.2 SSD coolers to the 2024 Computex. Our tour of the Thermalright Computex booth began with the HR10, a high-performance active cooling solution for M.2-2280 SSDs. Its design involves an aluminium base from which two heatpipes draw heat from the drive, pushing it through an aluminium fin-stack, which is ventilated by a 40 mm fan. The cooler comes in two trims—black and silver/chrome. The Frozen Infinity 360 is the company’s flagship AIO liquid CPU cooler. It features a 360 mm radiator, a cube-shaped pump-block which features an infinite-reflection ARGB ornament. Each of the three included 120 mm fans has infinite reflection ARGB diffusers along their sides. The cooler comes in black- and white trims.

The Thermalright Royal Lord is a thick single fin-stack (U-type) CPU cooler. It features a large CPU base that supports HEDT processors, seven 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes, fully soldered construction, and a high static-pressure 120 mm fan with a fluid-dynamic bearing. This cooler supports large CPU sockets such as the Intel Socket E, or AMD sTR5. The Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 EVO, much like the Royal Lord, is a single fin-stack heatsink, but with a narrower fin-stack, a brushed metal 2-tone top-plate, and two 120 mm fans in push-pull configuration, instead of just one. This cooler uses six 6 mm-thick heatpipes, and has dark powder-coating along all its metal bits.

The Thermalright Frozen Vortex 140 SE is the company’s largest air cooler. This features a dual fin-stack design (D-type), and uses a combination of 8 mm-thick and 6 mm-thick heatpipes to push heat through the two fin-stacks. The heatpipes toward the center of the base are 8 mm-thick for better contact. This cooler features a full-soldered construction just like the Royal Lord, and has a pair of high static-pressure fans, one of which is 140 mm, and the other 120 mm. When installed, the 140 mm fan sits between the two fin-stacks. Both these fin-stacks features brushed metal top-plates.

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 90 SE is a compact dual fin-stack cooler that’s no more than 110 mm tall. It comes in black and white trims, and uses four 6 mm-thick fin-stacks to push heat through the two fin-stacks. A 92 mm fan, located between the two fin-stacks, is in charge of ventilation.

The Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 Vision is a new single aluminium fin-stack cooler featuring a 1.54-inch LCD, with 240 x 240 pixels resolution. It has enough resolution for detailed fonts and graphics. The display connects to the motherboard over USB, and the Thermalright TRCC software lets you configure what to display on it, including real-time monitoring read from ACPI. The cooler is 156 mm tall, and besides the LCD, there is some infinity mirror ARGB lighting on the top-plate. The Burst Assassin 120 Vision is a variation on the same theme, it’s a slightly taller version of the original Burst Assassin, with this display embedded into its top plate.The Royal Knight 120 is a medium-sized dual-fin stack cooler that sits between the Frozen Vortex 140 and Peerless Assassin 90 SE. This comes with six 6 mm-thick heatpipes that fan-out into the two fin-stacks; but an interesting combination of a 15 mm-thick 120 mm fan as the cooler’s main intake fan; and a regular 25 mm-thick fan as the conveyor fan located between the two fin-stacks.

The company also showed off Hyper Vision, a new line of high-end AIO liquid CPU coolers. Its pump-block features a large 4-inch true-color display with 480 x 480 pixels resolution, which you can program to display anything, but that’s not the neat part—you can accessorize the display with a suite of first-party add-on frames.
