Finished Looks

Thermalright's Le Grand Macho RT looks good with its neutral black and white appearance, and while it may not be a perfect match for the test system's red and black motherboard, it does not detract or look out of place once installed.


Thermalright's Le Grand Macho RT is just a massive cooler overall. In terms of size and scope, it is similar to Noctua's NH-D15S. Mostly due to its massive size, it is capable of being used passively for those wanting an incredibly silent system. That said, the fan is generally quiet enough to be unobtrusive over other components as is, but the choice is there for consumers to make.


Clearance is exceptional with the Le Grand Macho RT offering perfect memory clearance and enough space to access the EPS 8-pin without issue. GPU clearance is also acceptable; granted, it is a snug fit, but there were no issues with the Thermalright cooler getting in the way of the first expansion slot. Mini-ITX and micro-ATX users should be alright, but always double check to make sure.
