Thermalright Shows off New CPU Coolers, Special Cases & Introduces Cogage brand
The Cyclone coolers are large CPU coolers with special fans to create a cyclone air flow to cool the fins and heatpipes. It comes in a full size variant as well as a compact version. They have also improved on the Ultra 120 by revising the surface area of the cooler and adding a hole within
Some companies haven't held back at Computex but presented loads of new products, one of these is Thermalright. And the products are in the area in which we know Thermalright does best: cooling. This includes cases, CPU coolers, graphics card coolers and fans.
First out is Cyclone. A new massive piece shaped like a high cylinder where special fan is lowered into the heatsink. Six heatpipes are used to move the heat up to the 150x150mm heatsink. Cyclone measures L152 x W152 x H160 mm, making it a quite big cooler.

It will fit on socket 1366/775/AM2/AM2+, but not with Core i5, Socket 1156, for now. The fan is specified to operate at 2500 RPM generating about 35 dBA. Not specifics were given as to how well it performs, but TR guarantees it is better than Ultra-120.

Cyclone shrunk for smaller PCs
The price will be around 60€ at launch, which is expected to happened just days after Computex ends (and 1 month later), which will initially be in the USA and Germany. There will be two versions of Cyclone, one bigger and one smaller for HTPC users. The bigger one was described above. There might be plans for a copper version of Cyclone, but Thermalright has put it on hold until it gets some market response for the Cyclone cooler.
Venomous X with Ultra 120 vibes
Thermalright Venomous X
Another CPU cooler that will be released alongside of Cyclone is a creation called Venomous X. It is an upgrade of Ultra 120 eXtreme that also fits socket 1366 and comes without fan. The thing makes it better than Ultra 120 eXtreme is that it comes with a mirror finish contact surface and a V shaped cut-out for improved airflow. Venomous X is just as big as Ultra 120 eXtreme and weighs about as much, 785 gram, and has the same amount of heatpipes, six.

MUX-120 1156
For Core i5 there will be a cooler called MUX-120 1156 and it is a tower coolers, like Ultra 120, but it sports four heatpipes instead of six; the same height as the pictures, but not as wide which means it also weighs less 523 gram. It ships with fan and fan controller.

Arrow-14
All of you who loved IFX-14 (don't blame you) but were sad to find out it was too big for your case we have the perfect solution: Arrow-14. A slightly smaller version but still with four heatpipes and the possibility of mounting up to three 140mm fans. It mounts on Socket 1366/775/AM2/AM2+.
Ultra 120 eXtreme2 in development
Except from the products seen above we found out that there is a new version of Ultra 120 eXtreme coming. eXtreme2 will have the same base design but more heatpipes, copper base and perhaps even flat contact surface. Today all are a bit convex since also processors are shaped like so. Test with the new eXtreme2 model is happening as we speak inside Thermalright's lab.
Thermalright had also brought several interesting cases, an upgraded version of BoxOne and case called R1X, and a new graphics card cooler: Spitfire. We also noticed its CPUAXP-140 cooler we've covered in previous reports. We hope to update with some more pictures of these products later on.
Thermalright will also be introducing two special enclosures to the market, which take advantage of their special heatsinks to cool the components with nothing but airflow created by the chassis. The one version holds fans on the side of the case, while the other has the cooling units embedded into the ceiling.
Then there is the Cogage brand, which utilizes the facilities and the expertise from Thermalright, but goes complete retail at a competitive price point including a fan in combination with the heatsink.
