Thermalright Intros AXP90-X53 Full Copper CPU Cooler

Parn · Nov 21, 2023

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.

Thermalright is on point lately. Also see alot of interest in new itx cases that don't take aio, and something like this is perfect.

I have the XP90-C from s939 days and still am using it on an Ivy Bridge. I made a custom mounting kit. This was circa 2006 and TPU reviewed it.

Thermalright XP90-C Review

Thermalright is one of the foremost cooling companies in the overclocking community. They have been around for many years providing that extra edge needed to keep your system cool. Although their lineup has changed quite a bit recently, many users out there are still cooling their CPUs with the...

I still have my XP90 as well, not the copper though

Voodoo Rufus · Nov 21, 2023

I have the shorter AXP90 Full Copper, and it works great.

You can bend the fan hold down wires to accommodate a 25mm thick fan with a little effort as well. Putting a black fan like a Be Quiet on the copper looks real nice.

It's reminiscent of the True Copper, but it's not a chonker (600g vs 1900g).
The OG could be mounted on the business end of a mace

I did smirk, and I usually giggle.. but that cooler is so small man, what do you expect me to do with it? I know they say size doesn’t matter.. but cmon

Well what copper lacks in size it makes up for in mass. Lol

Ran my Sandy 3700 at 3GHz, and my 4400 at 2700 :love:

Vintage and copper...I hear ya, still got these two in da drawer: Definitely not as shiny as the one in the press release. The Extreme spirit is so cute, like a mini CPU cooler. I guess it can handle a Raspberry Pi chip.

A very nice looking cooler I'd love to see performance figures. Review incoming hopefully.

JohH · Nov 21, 2023

They have numerous different pure copper coolers. But some models sure are hard to find here.

Give me the 'Thermalright AXP120-X67' CPU cooler in full copper and I'm very interested

.

Very nice!

Although I'm wondering how much the copper fins help with heat dissipation.

Likely not a lot, the C7 and C7 Cu were both tested here and the difference is a few degrees in favour of the full copper in most situations

He just said that because I own like 12 of their coolers, not the TRUE Copper though.. the one that got away

Thermalright are the S%^& if you are into hardware. I have bought 3 of them in the last 3 months.

Thanks for that, actually some of the elements in the conclusion are valid for this one here as well. I don't think there is a mounting bracket for 92x25mm fan. I run my Noctua NH-L9i with a 92x25mm and the longer screws were included by Noctua in the OEM packaging.

Man, this reminds me of the TRUE Spirit Copper. That was a chonker!

I remember drooling over the Ultra True Copper 15 years ago. Almost 2 kg and just 2*C lower temperatures, but it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

If only we had copper instead of RGB...

That's what I thought. Copper is a good conductor, but not that great at dissipating heat. Thanks for the link!

This exists, but every listing I've ever seen of it has been rather expensive

That's the 100mm version. Need the 120mm version.

And if the fan on that 100mm CPU cooler gets broken, you actually have to buy the same CPU cooler all over it again over just buying a new CPU fan, because of the not standard fan size.

Not true. You can use 92mm fans too, such as what this person did with theirs

There is also an included adapter for 120mm fans

Hmm ok. Then the CPU cooler is on my list of air CPU coolers to maybe buy

.

Or this CPU cooler might ONLY be an option to buy if it can be used with RAM modules that are 44mm high. The 'Thermalright AXP120-X67' CPU cooler have RAM clearance of 45mm.

EDIT: Maybe this one can be used with 44mm high RAM modules?: https://www.thermalright.com/product/axp-100-c65/

It's the same CPU cooler as the 'AXP-100 Full Copper', except the one I linked over is higher.
