Good article. And I like how you saved the tough question till last.lol
I think they are wrong for not dipping into water cooling. This is not a case of brand loyalty for most. Price and temperature numbers sell performance heat sinks at the end of the day. Until water cooling results are surpassed by air, there will be a continue need for water cooling products.
But I can see a company not wanting to wast their time with it if they are searching for a better product.
Actually, we didn't save it for last. I think it was probably the second thing we said, right after "thanks for coming." Thermalright stands firmly by their hearsink bases, and seemed a little stunned when Robert told them of the gains he saw from lapping.
Thermalright is one of those companies that is always working at keeping on the forefront of technology and their staff of engineers sounds like they throw out the majority of their prototypes due to not living up to their high standards. We can all respect that, and it's part of the reason their forthcoming budget-enthusiast brand will carry a different name. They're committed to making sure the Thermalright name is associated with quality.
I was told that they will continue working with DFI for mobo cooling solutions. Don't know if more companies will be added to that list.
We had a great time getting to know them and are excited to see what will hit shelves this year.
Yeah, we didn't ask them that last. It was my fancy way of saying "in conclusion." But that's a boring phrase.
I was really very pleased with Thermalright's down-to-earth approachability. We spoke with a gentleman named Loren who was extremely knowledgeable and could talk the industry just like we would here on the forum. He's an enthusiast who is dedicated to his products and is relentlessly committed to being the best. Meeting them was a fantastic experience, and made me very excited to see what they're coming up with in the new year.
