Thermalright Intros AXP90-X53 Full Copper CPU Cooler

Thermalright today introduced the AXP90-X53 Full copper CPU cooler. A variant of the 53 mm-tall AXP90-X53 top-flow air cooler, this one comes with a nearly 100% copper build, with the CPU contact base, heatpipes, and fin-stack made entirely of the red metal. The only bits on the heatsink that aren't made of copper are the steel retention clips. A copper base plate pulls heat from the processor, conveying it to four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, which pass through a copper fin-stack. This is ventilated by a 15 mm-tall 92 mm fan. The base may look like it's plain copper, but has C1100 nickel-plating, and can take even those kinds of TIM that would damage copper over time.

The included Thermalright TL-9015R 92 mm fan features an orange impeller with a contrasting red frame. It features a fluid dynamic bearing, and takes in 4-pin PWM input. It turns at speeds of up to 2,700 RPM, pushing up to 42.58 CFM of airflow, at 1.33 mm H₂O static pressure, and 22.4 dBA noise output. With the fan in place, the Thermalright AXP-90-X53 Full copper measures 94.5 mm x 95 mm x 53 mm, weighing around 600 g (including fan). CPU socket types supported include LGA1700, AM5, LGA1200, and AM4. The company didn't release pricing information.

Literary was looking into this one on Aliexpress a few days ago. Got some price premium over the aluminum version and I wasn't sure it supported LGA1700, but I see it's listed here. As @natr0n said....nnnnnice.

i meant it in good fun, but I won't do it anymore. a full copper one was a good place to end it though I agree on that. cause nothing can beat that. also i mean you own more thermalright than anyone else on the site, so thats why. lol
also, I used to be a Noctua fanboy, and you changed that... :(

As someone who had the legendary TRUE Copper, I can say it was shipped exactly like this.

well, the way things are going with nvme drives, that's probably the size going to be needed for gen6 nvme cooling, sadly. lol

Just hope one can actually buy one. Thermalright has lovely products but often times zero availability, especially in EU.

Reminds me the classic Thermalright SK6 from two decades ago. That was the beginning of high performance pure copper heatsinks made by Thermalright. I used to buy them exclusively during the S754 and S939 time.
