Thermalright readies all-black Venomous X cooler

**zalbard** · 06-19-2010, 03:42 AM

Thermalright's latest and wannabe greatest CPU cooler, the Venomous X is soon going to be available in a 'Black' version which is basically the same model introduced earlier this year but with a black nickel plating and mounting kits for both Intel and AMD processors.

Seen below, the Venomous X Black measures 127 x 63 x 160 mm, weights 755 grams, and features a C1100 copper base with a mirror finish, six 6mm heatpipes, plus support Intel LGA 775/1156/1366 and AMD Socket AM2/AM3 chips. The heatsink is also bundled with two sets of 120mm and 140mm fan clips and the Chill factor III thermal paste.

Thermalright hasn't mentioned anything about the cost of the Venomous X Black but it will probably be higher than €55.

Damn you, Thermalright, I bought my VX a week ago! >.<

About time they finally brought this out. Looks like the holding off i did finally pays off.

considering the vast amount of black motherboards, im surprised more coolers dont use black nickel plating.

uh... it looks almost identical to a TRUE Black, other than the heatpipes coming up a slight bit differently..

Thermalright has made some great stuff, but I think they need something new instead of just rehashing the same thing over and over with mostly a name change.

The question is: Who was first? Did they take lessons from nvidia? Or did nvidia take lessons from them?

I like this but why cant they make an AM3 Pressure bracket. But this isn't exactly the same as the TRUE but it is similar. They did use the same basic design but changed other factors to come out with better performance. I wonder is they will make an all copper version?
