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.
