Having made its first public appearance way back in November 2012, and trade-show display at this year's Computex event, it's been a long journey to the market for Thermalright's massive HR-22 CPU heatsink, which is so large, that you wouldn't need an additional fan, to cool a typical CPU, and can rely on the rear fan of your case to gently ventilate it. The company formally launched it.

The HR-22 is a monolithic aluminium fin stack heatsink to which heat is fed by eight 6 mm thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes. Each fin features a series of cuts and air-guides, which make up the heatsink's DPAS (directed passive airflow system), that taps into the natural convection within a PC case, and utilizes it fully, to dissipate heat from the CPU. Measuring 120 mm x 150 mm x 159 mm (WxDxH), the HR-22 weighs 1.12 kg, and supports all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011, LGA115x, LGA1366, AM3+/AM3, and FM2+/FM2.
