Thermalright has been one of our long time favorites as far as cooling manufacturers go. They have introduced many copper based heatsinks that excel in performance under rigorous conditions. Combing air-cooling with heatpipe technology they have introduced two new, copper based heatsinks. SP-97 is for AMD processors while SP-94 provides cooling for Intel Pentium 4 processors. This time, Thermalright made it so each platform uses a separate heatsink unlike many other models we have seen that can support both Intel and AMD processors.

Packaging:

Apparently, designing attractive shipping boxes is not one of Thermalright’s strong points. As you can see the overall shipping box is nothing but simple. There were no illustrations, graphs, claims, specifications found on the box itself. Thermalright did printed their name and logo on the box to remind the buyers of their products.

Above is a side shot of the original shipping box. By looking at the side of the box we can effortlessly conclude that Thermalright uses the same shipping box for both SP-98 as well as SP-94 heatsinks. Interestingly enough, there is no SP-98 released in the market yet. In fact, Thermalright has made no announcements regarding the SP-98. SP-98 will most likely be an Intel based heatsink from what we can tell by looking at the SP-94 product package.
