Thermalright Spitfire VGA Heatsink


Thermalright has just launched a new VGA Heatsink to its Spitfire lineup that measures 147 x 123 x 154mm and weighs just 550gm.Thermalright Spitfire VGA Heatsink comes with a unique angled design. A GPU contact base made of nickel-plated copper forms the starting point for six sintered nickel-plated heat-pipes, which then propagate perpendicular to the plane of the video-card, typically passing over other expansion cards in the system.

Thermalright Spitfire VGA Heatsink can provide silent passive cooling, or active cooling, by latching on 140 mm or 120 mm fans (fans not included in the package, fan-clips are).The package includes three types of heatsinks for the memory chips and VRM, all necessary retention mechanisms, including thumb-screws for tool-free installation. A syringe of the Chill Factor TIM is also included.

Thermalright Spitfire VGA Heatsink is compatible with most modern GPUs, including GeForce 7, 8 (excluding G80-based ones), 9 series (single GPU), Radeon HD 3800 series, HD 4800 series, and HD 5800 series. There is no support for GT200-based GeForce GTX 200 series.Its price and availability is yet to be confirm.
