Thermalright Unveils SI-128 SE CPU Cooler
In 2006 when Thermalright released the SI-128, it became one of the favorites among enthusiasts. This year, we added our proprietary thru holes on every fins to enhance ventilation by increasing air-to-surface contact with air, we call this all new CPU heatsink, SI-128 SE!
Other similar structured (blow down) heatsinks has no support in the front. Heatpipes alone will not be enough to support the weight over time and the result can be as shown in the picture on the right. When the heatpipes are bent to some degree, the performance level drops.
At Thermalright, we certainly have thought of that when we designed the SI-128 SE. We put two heavy duty metal bars at the front to support the heatsink and preventing the heatpipes from being bent.
A popular belief is that a tower heatsink has the advantage over blow down heatsinks in performance and overall versatility even though blow down heatsinks help cool their surroundings. Thermalright SI-128 SE will prove that it can cool as well as a tower heatsink if not better.
The SI-128 SE inheritated all the advantage of SI-128 in that it is easy to install and has a high motherboard compatibility. For those who does not have the room but want the power of a tower heatsink, go for the SI-128 SE. You'll see that it takes little (room) and gives a lot.

This is an updated version of the si-128 as there was no support for the heatpipes and they can be easily damaged. This is designed to be one of the best if not the best heatsink that isnt a tower.
I swear if u add a 120MM fan it will be a Big Typhoon
