Thermalright introduces a new performance HSF for enthusiasts on a budget. Based on the proven SLK design, the ALX-800 uses a copper/aluminum combination and takes on the challenge from other, more expensive, performance HSFs.
Machined from a solid aluminum block, the ALX-800 fins are integrated and provide optimal thermal dissipation from its copper base. It reduces the weight about 100g compared to the SLK-800A, the myth that "high performance HSFs are all heavy copper blocks" that so many HSF makers claim is now just that, an empty claim. With a weight of 430g, this ALX-800 demonstrates thermal performance that many manufacturers cannot match, even with heavier and more expensive models.
Sharing the same base design with our Thermalright SLK series, the ALX-800 has a great thermal capacity to absorb heat spikes from the CPU's core and combined with our newly designed fin assembly, Thermalright again reduced the torque effect on the CPU socket. New stronger fan wire clips now hold on the bottom of the fan casing, which means that the end user has the option of using a fan adapter on a Thermalright heatsink, no longer is it a right reserved for heavier models only. In addition, the end user can for the first time, employ the use of a fan guard on a Thermalright heatsink using fan wire clips.
Lower material cost means a lower retail price for customers
looking for performance HSFs. With the ALX-800's MSRP
at $ 29.95 USD for the bare sink, and $ 44,95 USD for the
Extreme Edition, provide budget minded modders and
overclockers around the world, a powerful tool to take their
CPU to the highest C/P ration once again. Thermalright has
shown the world how thermal management should be done
with its SK, AX and SLK series models and this time around,
Thermalright proves with the ALX-800 thermal solution,
weight is no longer a determining issue
