cyc2 Thermalright Cyclone   Has Their Own TRUE Met Its Match?

Thermalright, a name alone that conjurers images of towering coolers and pure performance. Their tradition lives on with another innovation in the aftermarket cooling arena.


Simply called Cyclone, it brings a new contender that stands to eclipse their own longtime champion, the TRUE (Thermalright ULTRA-120 Extreme)


Featuring 6 Heatpipes and a dense array of fins, this behemoth towers over other cooling competition at 152mm x 152mm x 160mm weighing in at a 747g - but it doesn’t end with just size. The Cyclone is unlike anything you have seen before. With a star shaped pattern, and an integrated 120MM fan inside the fins, Thermalright is breaking all the boundaries with their latest and greatest product.


With the current market offerings of CPU cooling solutions, one needs to look outside the proverbial box and break the long time thoughts and views of what a CPU cooler ’should’ look like. Thankfully, as it would appear Thermalright has done just that. One can only imagine now what this new creation is truly capable of.


The Cyclone will support the whole range of sockets,  LGA1366, LGA775, Socket AM2/AM2+/AM3. There is no listing yet on when the Cyclone will become Available for Retail Sale.

    Interesting design from Thermalright. Assuming air is pulled from the bottom and exhausted out through the top, I’m not sure exactly how it intends pass over all those heatpipes. True enough one can only imagine what it is capable of.

    ^^ The pipes transfer the vast majority of the heat to the fins to be dispersed, so the pipes themselves don’t need massive air flow- although it certainly wouldn’t hurt, unless it would disrupt the airflow to the fins. Yeah, that must be the case. Sorry for thinking out loud.

    I personally think they have the Central Blower Creating a Downdraft Vortex that brings the Air through the fins , as opposed to pushing it out.
    It will be interesting to see in Operation.

    @Eagle Eye
    That wouldn’t make sense since 95% of the side panels take in cold air, if this fan would exaust air out of the top it would be very bad for your airflow.

    Its a centrifugal fan. Sucks air from the top and bottom and blows it out the sides. You can see the fan in one of the pics and it is the length of the fins. I would think this would be very effective.

    Few reasons that a downdraft would make sense. First, if a case has an air-intake on the side, as is mentioned above, it would add additional airflow…which makes me happy seeing as current tower-heatsinks can’t take advantage of that. Second, it allows the coolest air possible to cool the CPU, then the slightly warmer air cools the capacitors and MOSFETs, etc. Third, I believe that fans can push air through fins more easily than pull it. Something to do with static pressure.

    Honestly I only have two problems with this cooler: The integrated fan cannot be changed out for something like a Noctua or a Scythe fan, and it doesn’t use HDT.
