Thermalright Macho Direct Processor Cooler 14 cm Black, Grey

With the Macho Direct we offer a high-performance HDT CPU-Cooler. The Cooler is based on the well-known Macho design and is the first choice for price conscious users. The silent optimized cooler offers superior cooling performance with no frills at a very attractive price.<br><br>The original conception of the Macho has been maintained: The heat sink is aligned to the rear of the PC case, which ensures that even when using ram modules with high-rising heat spreaders no incompatibilities will arise. The aluminum cooling fins are perforated by a plurality of air holes, which counteract air accumulation between the cooling fins.<br><br>The Macho Direct makes use of the Heatpipe Direct Touch principle. A total of five high-performance 6 mm heatpipes provide the most efficient dissipation of the generated processor heat. The heatpipes are, as usual, in a convex form. This patented design of the heatpipes, which are intentionally not ground flat, gives the Macho Direct an outstanding cooling performance for a HDT cooler.<br><br>Another advantage of the HDT-Design is the reduced installation height. The HDT-Cooler is 4 mm lower than the Macho, so it will also fit in cases where the "normal" Macho is too high.<br><br>The special design of the heatsink’s aluminum fins allows for a particularly low air resistance. The additional perforation of the cooling fins acts against heat buildup between the individual lamellae layers and supports the efficient temperature reduction.<br><br>A temperature-controlled TY-140 Black (PWM) is included with the cooler. The fan has been optimized for the Macho Direct. With a rotation speed that ranges from 300 to 1,300 rpm the fan runs especially quiet. The TY-140 Black features a low-wear “Enhanced Hyper-Flow Bearing”.<br><br>The air flow varies between 28.7 and an impressive 125 m³/h. The proven fan with its unique design features the mounting points of a conventional 120 mm fan and has a larger inner diameter than conventional 140 mm fans. The fan is fitted securely to the heatsink with the included, revised fan brackets – specially designed anti-vibration pads allow for decoupled mounting.<br><br>A universal mounting kit is included with the Macho Direct that supports all current Intel- and AMD sockets (Intel LGA1156/1155/2011/1150/2011-3/1151 und AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/FM1/FM2/FM2+).<br><br>Also included in the package is again our popular Thermalright Screwdriver, with the magnetic tip. The equipment is completed by the excellent Thermalright Chill Factor thermal paste (blister).Thermalright Macho Direct.
