Thermaltake Announces ASTRIA 600 ARGB Dual Tower CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Thermaltake today announced the ASTRIA 600 ARGB, a dual fin-stack type CPU cooler. The company had shown off the ASTRIA line of coolers earlier this year at the 2024 CES. The ASTRIA 600 leads the pack, being the heaviest model, with the most heat dissipation area from its dual-stack design. Its design involves a nickel-plated copper base, from which six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes make their way through two aluminium fin-stacks with equal fin-pitch to each other. Both fin-stacks are capped by die-cast metal top-plates with ARGB lighting from 18 LEDs, each. Two 120 mm fans ventilate the fin-stacks.

Each of the two included 120 mm fans features a 40,000-hour rated bearing, and a 9-LED ARGB lighting that projects from the impeller hub. The fan takes in 4-pin PWM for its main function, turns at speeds ranging between 500 and 1,800 RPM, pushing up to 65 CFM of airflow, at 2.56 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 26.8 dBA noise. Even with both fans in place, Thermaltake says you have clearance for 1.5x-tall memory modules (ones that have lighting or heatsink crowns). The cooler has a cooling capacity of 265 W, making it fit for any of the flagship desktop processors. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, upcoming LGA1851, LGA1200/LGA115x, AM5, and AM4. The cooler measures 124 mm x 137 mm x 160 mm (L x W x H). The company didn't reveal pricing.

I'm no fan of TT, but TPU is still using their 2000's logo for news posts.

Why is it a twin tower, instead of a single tower with the same size as the two towers? Don't the air gaps (even be it filled with a fan) worsen the cooling capacity, because air has lower thermal conductivity than aluminum and copper?
Why aren't the heatpipes direct touch? Is that a vapour chamber or what?
Is 265W cooling capacity enough, when intel's PL1 is set to 253W already?

And one necessary requirement - it must have a fan-stop option. So, the RPM range must be from 0 to 1800, instead of being at very high 500 to 1800.

Is that a vapour chamber or what?

No , if it was, it would be a part of the heatpipes and the base would be copper.

Shouldn't a white version be standard operating procedure these days?

Is it your contention that a dual tower is inferior to a single, large tower that equates to the same width as the sum of the dual tower? With one fan pushing? Or two fans in a push/pull?

Wouldn't the dual tower be superior as it allows more "airflow per surface area" on the heat sink? The larger a single tower gets, the more difficult it must be for the fan's airflow to effectively and efficiently reach the center of the heatsink I would imagine.

White or silver or light grey is definitely better than dark grey or black.

Or two fans in a push/pull?

2 fans and preferably slim versions, not fatty like these ones

Hey, hey, no fan fat-shaming 'round here! They're called BBF's -- Big Beautiful Fans!

It fits perfectly into the plastic-clad RGB landscape of today's common gaming computers.

Absolutely disgusting.
