THE AXP-100

The AXP-100 heatsink is very small measuring just 44.15mm in height, 105.47mm in width and 121.1mm in length while weighing a total of 360g.

The heatsink body is made up by a total of 39 aluminum fins (also notice the two large holes used to mount the heatsink on the socket with ease).

Thermalright has placed their logo at the front of the 6 heatpipe caps.

I was a bit surprised to see that such a small CPU Cooler featured a total of six 6mm nickel plated heatpipes.

There are also two pieces of aluminum leaving the other side of the base (probably to support the extra weight of 120/140mm fans, if used).

As always Thermalright has used a mirror like finish on the base of the cooler.

The 9 bladed 100mm TR-TY100 PWM fan can spin with speeds of up to 2500RPM±15% and output airflow of up to 44.57CFM at 30dBA.

With the TR-TY100 fan mounted the AXP-100 now measures 58.15mm in height, 105.47mm in width and 121.1mm in length.

I felt it would be a nice touch to showcase just how large the Thermalright AXP-100 is compared to the Noctua NH-L9i (and it is).

What i really like about the AXP-100 is that by using the bundled fan mount you can use 120mm/140mm fans for better cooling and reduced noise levels.

We used the quite large TR-TY140 PWM fan for a second test to see what gains you can get when using a larger fan.
