Thermalright Rolls Out SI-100 White ARGB CPU Cooler
Thermalright today rolled out the SI-100 White ARGB, a low-profile aluminium fin-stack CPU cooler. The cooler features a "C-type" design. An aluminium fin-stack is arranged along the plane of the motherboard, skewered by six 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, which pull heat from a C1100 pure-copper base. The base and heatpipes are nickel-plated (the heatpipes additionally have the matte-white paintjob); while the aluminium fins are anodized.
The included 120 mm TL-E12W-S fan features addressable RGB lighting, takes in 4-pin PWM for its main function and 3-pin ARGB for the lighting. It turns at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 72.37 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.87 mm H₂O pressure, and 27.7 dBA maximum noise output. It features a durable fluid-dynamic bearing. With the fan in place, the Thermalright SI-100 White ARGB measures 120 mm x 120 mm x 99.8 mm (WxDxH), weighing 640 g. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, LGA1200, and LGA115x. The company didn't reveal pricing.

im ok with some intake rgb fans that i can't really see, but give me a nice soft glow overall... but other than that i am staying away from rgb.
this would look great in my white/silver paladin themed build though, not going to lie.
i think i want the extra cooling a big noctua will give me though. I want to be running cold temps all the time

Like a baby C14S, but still has the 6 heatpipes to perform. Don't see that very often.
Although, one of main reasons to run the C14S is to cool RAM, and orienting the Thermalright as shown provides no airflow there.....and RAM clearance looks suspect when oriented the other way.....but this is still one of the more interesting coolers I've seen this year.
Thermalright make one, it's significantly cheaper!
I don't think that RAM clearance will a massive issue if cooler is oriented towards the RAM. The cooler will block RAM anyways so there's no need for RGB RAM and non-RGB tends to be shorter
edit: Looking at this cooler now, it might be interesting experiment to chop off the support bar underneath the fin stack and put fan (probably 15mm) there. Then this should just barely fit inside the Louqe Raw S1

I'm not sure as to the support bracket. On one hand, it's only 100g heavier than a L12S, which isn't heavy enough to warrant structural support. On the other hand, it is actually a very smart design (supporting heatsink on both sides instead of just on the heatpipes side), and heavier C-type coolers have a tendency to loosen up/sag over time on the side opposite the heatpipes, without support.
This is a nice cooler in the looks department! The down-firing fans are the best IMPO. With 6 heatpipes, it's performance has to be good. Thinking I may have found the next default cooler line for my shop!
