Thermalright today rolled out the AXP90-X36 Black, a low-profile, top-flow CPU cooler. If you're having a sense of deja vu right now, it's probably because of the recent launch of the AXP90-X53 Black, a slightly taller cooler from the brand that looks similar. The numerals in the model names are key here. The "90" denotes fan diameter in mm, while the "36" denotes the cooler's height of just 36 mm. The older AXP90-X53 Black is 53 mm-tall.

The new AXP90-X36 Black uses essentially the same design, and an identical TL-9015B fan, but a slimmer heatsink. It still uses four 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes that make indirect contact through a copper base-plate; which twist into the fin-stack, and are ventilated by the 90 mm spinner, which turns at speeds of up to 2,700 RPM pushing up to 42.58 CFM of airflow, at noise levels as low as 22.4 dBA. The cooler measures 95 mm x 94.5 mm x 36 mm, weighing 230 g. CPU socket types supported are LGA1200, LGA115x, and AM4. The company didn't reveal pricing.
