Thermalright continues in its grand tradition of providing superlative air cooling components with the recent introduction of the Spitfire GPU heatsink.
Thermalright Spitfire
Billed as a “silent” cooler, the Spitfire sink provides six stacks of aluminum fins to each of the six heatpipes connected to the nickel-plated copper base. With a total dissipation surface of 19,200mm², Thermalright alleges the Spitfire’s performance under passive cooling conditions (airflow from a side panel fan) to be comparable to the performance of past GPU sinks under direct cooling. Users uncomfortable with passive cooling (or hungry overclockers) will also be pleased to learn that the Spitfire unit accepts a 120mm or 140mm fan.
Rounding out the details, Thermalright pegs the unit’s raw weight at 550g and its dimensions at 147mm x 123mm x 154mm (L x W x H). These specs are definitely enough to warp a GPU’s PCB, so Thermalright also includes support bars as part of its mounting kit to avoid this kind of damage. However, interested parties may want to note that GPU compatibility is fairly stacked in AMD’s favor as a result of the Spitfire’s design.
We checked every reseller authorized by Thermalright to distribute their parts, but none of them could provide availability or pricing information.
