Thermalright Intros Macho MAXX, a Meaty Tower-type CPU Cooler
Thermalright today introduced the Macho MAXX, its latest single-tower type CPU coolers. The Macho line of tower-type coolers see Thermalright's designers choose a single large aluminium fin-stack over a "D-type" dual fin-stack approach. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 140 mm x 124 mm x 158 mm (WxDxH), weighing 780 g.
The design of the Macho MAXX involves a nickel-plated C1100-grade copper base, from which six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes emerge, conveying heat across the large stack of 31 fins, which is ventilated by a 140 mm TL-D14 fan. This fan turns at speeds of up to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 77.8 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.09 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 25.6 dBA noise output. It features a fluid-dynamic bearing. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, LGA1200, and AM4. The company didn't reveal pricing.

And fun fact - Tr recommended 92x38mm fans for their coolers - either made by Delta, or Vantec (model Tornado). How does a 5000rpm fan sound? Well, You won't hear anything else in the room. :P
In those days service technicians were complete jerks, not one of them would help me with a P4 socket 478 plastic bracket.
Q6600 was a great CPU, overclocked mine to 3GHz I think and my dad still uses his to this day today :). With a SSD it still is plenty fast.
When SLK 900/947/948 were a thing (for Atlhlon XP/Pentium 4 '05), the only LC blocks were either DD RBX, some basic constructions from Innovatek/Switftech/DTek, or custom, self-made ones (here in Poland we also had a company making those). For radiators - either HW Black Ice, or You could've bought a car heater (Opel Cadet, or russian Lada were really popular here). Pumps - well, we just used whatever we found in a pet shop for aquariums. :p
A perfect example here:
