A Closer Look
The TherMax Pro is a fairly typical-looking 90mm heatpipe cooler. The radiator consists of 45 stamped brushed aluminum fins, crimped onto the U-shaped heatpipes. The fins are quite thin and easily bent, as you can see in the photo.
Rather than protruding from the top of the cooler, the heatpipe ends are covered by the top fin, which has the Spire logo stamped into it.
The Spire 90mm fan is UV reactive. It is held in place by wire retainers. There are anti-vibration bushings mounted on the fan to help prevent noise.
The TherMax Pro has three 8mm U-shaped heatpipes. They are buffed to a high shine. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first 90-92mm cooler with 8mm heatpipes. They cover a large area of the base.
The heatpipes directly touch the CPU heatspreader. Spire calls their version of this technology “Direct-Touch Heatpipe” (DTHP). The technology allows for using an aluminum base to cut cost and weight, but still have the superior heat transfer properties of copper.
The base has been lapped to a high shine. This is by far the shiniest exposed heatpipe base I’ve seen. Actually, most of them weren’t lapped at all.
Hardware is included for LGA 775, LGA 1366, LGA 1156, and AM3/AM2. Spire also thoughtfully included a fan controller for manual control of the TherMax Pro’s fan speed if you so desire.

Reminds me of the Core Contact heatsink 😉

i like the uv reactive fan, adds to the look of the case
I'd go with a regular LED fan instead.

nice fan but very expensive

“Ambient room temperature was 72F.” I think you should be consistent and report the temperatures all in the same unit. Kind of confusing, at first i misread and thought u tested at like extreme temperatures.

$35 isn't that bad but it would be price a little less.
Thats why he put a “F” symbol for Fahrenheit.
If it helps, 72°F is about 22°C.
No, i know how to convert from farenheit to celcius (Farehneit-32 * 5/9), just saying he should have put everything in celsius to stay consistent. If you look at his graphs they are celsius, and if you're skimming through, the 72F throws you off.

True however the value of the ambient temperature isn't what matters.
It does affect the temperatures of the cpu though, because if the ambient temperature is higher, less heat can be transferred from the sink to the environment and therefore, it will be less efficient.
It does matter, because the ambient temperature changes the efficiency of the heatsink to dissipate heat to the environment

What I meant to say is that it doesn't matter if the ambient temperature is in Fahrenheit or Celsius; that is irrelevant. The temperature results of the cooler is what matters most.
This isn't a review about whether or not the ambient temperature should be mentioned in Fahrenheit or Celsius LOL
There's not need to double post.

the website was glitching for me. my bad.

this is nice
thanks for this information

good fan
rated Speed: 2,700 RPM +/-10%
its good
