When Thermalright introduced the XP-120 heatsink, which by the
way was the first heatsink to make use of a 120mm fan it was the
perfect heatsink, except for one small detail - it didn't fit on
all motherboards. Yes that right, not every motherboard was able
to accept the XP-120 due to certain components being mounted to
close to the heatpipes or perhaps a Northbridge cooler was
causing interference and not allowing the XP-120 to seat
properly.
So Thermalright went back to the drawing board and came up with
newly designed SI-120 heatsink, this design is so advanced that
they have yet to find a motherboard that it will not fit on and
that says a lot. So come on along as we take a look at
this newly designed masterpiece and see how it performs and see
if it is indeed capable of consuming over 100 watts of power as
Thermalright says it is.
Dimension:
L140 x W120 x H88 (mm) Fin only,
without fan
(We'll update the dimension when mass production
units come out if any deviations exist.)
AMD: Athlon64 FX 3200+ (socket 939/940) /Athlon64
3200+ (socket 754) and above
Intel: Pentium-4 socket 478 3.2 GHz and above
* Specs subject to change without notice
120mm Recommended
fan for maximum cooling capability
Multiple heatpipes
for well spread heat around aluminum
fins
Light weight and
easy installation
Compatibility across
multiple platforms (socket
478/754/939/940)
Enormous wingspan
gives extra cooling to MOSFET or NB
chipset
Accessories consist of mounting bracket for
use on an Intel board w/ two screws to mount it. Two
of Thermalright's famous wire clips to hold the 120mm fan in
place. A tube of their thermal paste and two band of
blue material to set between the fan and heatsink to help
dampen the noise.
