Introduction:

Thermalright XWB-1 CPU Water Cooling Block

Thermalright is a name I happened to come across back when the first socket A system graced my much smaller desk. The AMD Socket A processor was so hot, that I was quickly looking to find a way to shed another 15 degrees. And that came in the shape of the SK-7 or AX-7. It was one of those two I'm sure even though it all seems like a blur.

Almost all the aluminum blocks at that time were basically solid masses. There weren't many cooler advancements at the time like heat pipes. And interestingly, prices were almost at the same level as now. It really does help to have the facilities and machinery when cutting down costs.

These days, Thermalright is still heavily in to air coolers using heat pipe designs. Some of their top coolers like the XP-120 have finally been out done by their other tower coolers like the HR and Ultra series. They do a really good cooling job far beyond any stock coolers. For most folks, this is really all they'll need to cool their dual and quad core processors.

For other folks looking for a more silent system or like to overclock their their CPU in to crazy territory, Thermalright is offering their first CPU water block. The XWB-1 Water Block comes to us from a proven CPU cooler creator.
