Thermaltake Frio OCK To-Grade Air Cooler Formally Announced

Thermaltake seems to be especially active lately, as it delivered new cases, PSUs and, now, a CPU cooler, although, true enough, this new cooling module was known to be in development since last month.

Thermaltake's Frio OCK (OverClocker Kings) is one of those products that were previewed ahead of launch, so as to create hype.

This was understandable, as the cooler is supposed to be capable of keeping heat low for even the fastest processors in existence today.

Being an air cooler, this means that the newcomer has a very effective array of heatpipes, fins and fans, so as to have excellent heat dissipation and dispersion.

Sure enough, there are six U-shaped copper heatpipes with a thickness of 6mm each, which draw the heat way from the chip itself and lead it into the heatsink.

Said heatsink has a dual-tower design and is constructed out of 0.4mm aluminum fins, meaning that the heat is well spread across the entire surface of the metal.

That very heat is taken care of by a pair of fans, both with a diameter of 130mm and equipped with a knob on the cover.

Said knob lets end-users set the rotary speed (the fan can run at 1,200 to 2,100 rotations per minute and produce a noise of 48 dBA tops).

Combined, all the above weigh a total of 1,093 grams and measure 143 (L) x 136.8 (W) x 158.4 (H) mm. All in all, the cooler can dissipate up to 240W of heat.

Needles to say, this prowess would be wasted without a suitably wide array of supported processors, so Thermaltake made sure that both Intel and AMD chips were supported.

The full list includes Intel LGA 775, LGA 1155, LGA 1156 ad LGA 1366 units, as well as AM2, AM2+ and AM3 CPUs form Advanced Micro Devices. Prices were not given, but online listings should show up shortly.
