Each product type deserves its own testing methodology. CPU coolers, which we regularly put to the test, are no exception to this. Within this article, we introduce our latest test method, which allows us to even more accurately assess which models offe...

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.Therma...
Every now and then a product comes along which just turns the CPU cooler market upside down in terms of price to performance offerings. When I first reviewed the Scythe Mugen 3 a few months ago I didn't realise how amazing it was until and I had tested se...

Here at HardwareHeaven we have been reviewing Thermalright coolers since 2006 when the SI-128 won our gold award. Since then we have seen numerous impressive coolers from them and on at least one occasion Intel chose them as a CPU cooler partner for a key...
Looking first at the build quality and design of the Macho cooler we have a product which scores reasonably well on both fronts. The cooler feels solid and there are no concerns with manufacturing, each soldered section is strong and the CPU block finishe...

The Thermalright HR-02 has thoroughly impressed me with its performance. Even fanless, it hangs out with other coolers in its price range. Even though the HR-02 comes in at a stout 860 grams without any fans the mounting mechanism and the hardware han...

Striking an effective balance between cooling performance, price and noise levels is a difficult task for those in the business of air cooling CPUs. For example, the , a fairly expensive air cooler, offers quiet coolin...
In many regards, the Macho Rev. A is similar to the CNPS14X. Noise levels with both are pleasingly quiet, and the delta T results achieved by both were only 1°C apart in both Intel tests (once again the Macho Rev. A could not be mounted to our AMD system)...

The Thermalright HR-02 Macho takes the design elements that made its predecessors excellent low noise coolers and successfully combines it with the massive size of a modern high-end heatsink.
The Thermalright HR-02 Macho was able to passively cool our mildly overclocked Sandy Bridge quad core processor with very little case airflow, though the temperatures were rather high as one would expect; we wouldn't attempt it with anything more dema...

Like the Zalman CNPS12X and the Akasa Venom Voodoo, the Thermalright Macho is big but quiet. As is the case with both the other coolers, it seems to be focused more on silence than on ultimate performance, presenting a good but not extreme cooling perf...

Today, I will be taking a look at a Thermalright offering: the HR-02 Macho heatsink. This is a revamped version of a heatsink introduced last year which now comes to us at a different price point. The original HR-02 came out several months ago and was aim...
As seen above, the Thermalright HR-02 Macho is a strong performer and can easily handle an overclocked Bloomfield processor, and better yet, you can get this kind of performance for a MSRP of $39.95. Speaking of buying one, they are still hard to find f...

Lately you may have noticed a lot of reviews focusing on water cooling kits. With good reason. As the processor cooling technology has matured, manufactures have found clever ways of designing these kits to be almost as easy to install as an air coole...
Let me start with the previous model. The HR-02 is a passive heat sink that can be used with a fan. It is large expensive and (without a fan) largely underpowered. Just look at how poorly it ranks in our price/performance chart. Now look at the HR-02 M...

Although the Macho HR-02 is a clear improvement over the original HR-02 (as expected by adding an 140mm fan in the bundle) i can't say that i understand as to why Thermalright made such a move since one could always get the original HR-02, stra...

If you're overclocking your CPU, you're going to need a better cooler than the one that shipped with your CPU. There are many aftermarket alternatives, but enthusiasts know that Thermalright's products should always be on their short list. The problem...

There is an abundance of CPU coolers on the market, something for just about every need or want, to suit just about any budget. Big coolers generally get most of the hype, but there is one slightly niche market that is very interesting: the passive hea...
The Thermalright HR-02 is a good looking heatsink that showcases a somewhat restrained and conservative aesthetic that should look pleasant in just about any case setup. It is massive for a single tower design though, so it's not for small cases, bear...

It's hard to be disappointed with Thermalright products and well, you surely will not be disappointed by the HR-02. Throughout the installation we already had that weird 6th sense that we had something distinctive in our hands, and it is exactly that...
