Thermalright AXP-140 HTPC heatsink unveiled

VR Zone uploaded some photos of the new ThermalRight AXP-140 heatsink for HTPC users, this heatsink just just 7cm tall and supports 120mm and 140mm fans. The heatsink features a nickel-plated copper base and six nickel-plated copper heatpipes. It will retail for around $59.

Remember the legendary Thermalright XP-120? It gained recognition for being one of the first heatsinks to tame the heat from Intel's notorious Presshot (sorry I meant Prescott) processors. Even though many heatsinks have overtaken it in terms of cooling performance, it still remained as a popular option for HTPCs. Today, Thermalright has released the successor to the XP-120, dubbed the AXP-140. Join VR-Zone in the unboxing of the AXP-140!
