Thermaltake Ready with Frio CPU Cooler
Thermaltake seems to have finished development of its new high-end CPU cooler, the Thermaltake Frio. Designs of this cooler surfaced as early as in June this year, originally slating it for Computex 2009. After some development delay, it has finally taken shape with the disctinct black+red color scheme the company's Level 10 case comes with. The design consists of a CPU contact block from which five seemingly 8 mm heatpipes arise, conveying heat to a dense aluminum fin array which has largely rectangular fins. The array is cooled a 120 mm fan. There is provision to install one on either sides, that rotates at speeds between 1200 - 2500 rpm. The cooler supports all current CPU sockets, including LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, AM3/AM2+. The cooler is now slated for CES 2010.

Bravo Thermaltake. join the bandwagon!
Heh, sorry but seems silly to say such a thing just from the picture.
Found a picture of it with no shrouds etc
Looks like they've made no effort to do anything fancy with the fins.
Time to get a new design team Thermaltake and get some hot hot hot products together. :rockout:
as for the cooler, if they took this long to make a so simple cooler... then its designers and engineers are monkeys :laugh:
I mean a few people have already said it. "This thing looks like all the other CPU coolers out there". Well maybe TT figured out how to build a better mouse trap.
You gotta admit, that does look real good... Same model I bought, just mine has the clips for i5/i7 setups, Uses screws, not clips/pushpins.
(not my system pic, cam broke so I am SOL on that mark)
And im sorry but the first tower like heatsink was made by TT and its called the Silent Tower. So everybody is copying TT.
