ThermalRight shows off the HR-02 Macho Rev.B with an enlarged, nickel-plated polished base to deliver higher cooling capacity. The heatsink has six heatpipes and a large aluminium fin array that's cooled by a 140mm TY-147 PWM fan. The HSF measures 150mm x 129mm x 162mm (L x W x H) and weighs 880g. Pricing is 42.99EUR (incl. 19% VAT).
Ever since we released the HR-02 Macho in the summer of 2011, the semi-passive cooler has been the reference in the field of low-noise coolers. Copied several times since then, the Macho is still unbeaten in its price range even after more than 3 years.

Nevertheless, we did not rest on our laurels and continued to develop the cooler. Based on our new, highly acclaimed „IB-E“ flagships Silver Arrow and Archon, the Macho Rev. B now also features an enlarged, nickel plated, and polished base (53 x 40 mm).

Thanks to this feature – otherwise only seen in our high-end models – the cooling capacity could be significantly improved and the advantage in performance over competing models further increased. First reviews from renowned test pages offer an impressive demonstration of this.

In order to further improve the look of the Macho Rev. B, the heatsink shines in silver nickel plating and features a black anodized top fin, like other “Value” coolers.

The proven TY 147 PWM fan has been improved as well. In the new revision TY 147 A, the minimum rpm of the fan has been reduced from 900 to just 300 rpm. The maximum speed of 1,300 rpm remains unchanged.
