Thermalright Macho Rev.A (BW) CPU Cooler Review

Thermalright’s products have never been reviewed by eTeknix before. I am quite excited to get started with Thermalright products as they are one of the most recognised CPU cooler brands for high performance air cooling alongside Noctua and Phanteks.

Thermalright only operate in the performance segment of the market and the majority of the CPU coolers are what you might call enthusiast class – even the smaller form factor ones. They are certainly not beginners having been in the industry since 2001 and their claim to historical fame is they were the first company to start manufacturing copper based CPU coolers all the way back in 2001 whilst everyone else was still stuck on aluminium designs.

The Thermalright Macho Rev.A (BW) CPU cooler we have here to today certainly isn’t a new one, but it is a nice product for us to get started with and is still a popular choice for many system builders. It features a single 140mm fan, six 6mm heat pipes and an enormous aluminium heatsink – expect impressive performance figures for a product priced at around £40.
