Thermalright SP-94 Copper Heatpipe Heatsink

Cooling/CPU Cooling by jmke @ 2003-10-05

Thermalright has certainly kept their eye on the ball lately, and they?ve scored yet again with their latest offering, the SP-94. This marks Thermalright?s ingress into heat-pipe technology, and they've made a distinguished entrance. The SP94 is an all copper thin-fin cooler, the embodiment of which centres around their SLK series. From what your about to see, Thermalright has truly raised heat-sink manufacture, to an art form.
We compare it to the SLK-947U and SLK-900U in this article.

Final thoughts on the SP-94 by Liquid3D

With Thermalright's grand entrance into heat-pipe technology, I wonder where this company is headed. In the last year alone they have produced four of the better (if not best) thin-fin copper coolers on the market. Not only has each successive model, been more effective in its cooling ability, but with each model are major improvements in the mounting hardware. I truly thought the SLK-947-U would be the culmination of design prowess towards the ultimate simplicity in Socket 478 installation, and air-cooling. And then the SP-94, takes a huge leap forward.

It is without a doubt the simplest, foolproof installation yet, mated with craftsmanship which rivals anything on the market. I believe once you see the unit you'll agree, the construction is of the highest quality, and it may be the finest finish of any heat-sink on the market. While these praises seem as if they were written by an over zealous marketing exec, first week on the job, I'd bet my infamous solder-dropping collection, you'll concur.

I consider SP-94 a piece of engineering artwork. As I stated earlier, the Thermalright SP-94 truly deserves the description, High Performance Art. I just kept snapping pictures

Final thoughts on the SP-94 by JMke

I can't believe the performance of this heatsink, one year ago I was already blown away by the Alpha PAL8942 and Swiftech MCX4000, but the SP-94 pulls ahead. Delivering groundbreaking performance and allowing you to run your CPU at speeds previously only reachable using water cooling or phase-change!
I can't wait to see what damage the SP-97 will do in the AMD ranks, as the Thermalright SP-94 has taken the top spot of aircooling solutions!

We would like to thank Jim Wei @ Thermalright for giving us the opportunity to test their "High Performance Art". Check out their excellent guide if you have any questions about installing this heatsink.
