CPU Cooler, Intel LGA 775/1156/1366/1155/2011/1150/2011-3/1151, AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/FM2+, 120mm PWM fan, 300 – 1300 rpm, 94.8m³/h, 5x 6mm high-end copper heatpipes
The Macho 120 SBM is a compact version of our popular Macho 120 Rev. A. Due to the narrower design it is perfectly suited as powerful CPU-cooler for Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX systems.
With dimensions of 130 x 101 x 150 mm (LxWxH) the Macho 120 SBM is significantly more compact than the Macho 120 Rev. A. It is aimed at users with systems for which even the Macho 120 Rev. A is too big. Thanks to its five heatpipes and the newly designed TY-127 PWM fan the Macho 120 SBM offers an outstanding cooling performance, despite its compact dimensions.
In terms of the design the Macho 120 SBM is obviously part of its family: The copper heat pipes are nickel plated and offer in combination with the black anodized top fin a probably unique elegant appearance.
The outstanding cooling performance of the Macho 120 SBM is based on the innovative design of the 30 cooling fins in combination with the use of five 6 mm high-end copper heatpipes. The cooling fins are perforated by a plurality of air holes, which counteract air accumulation between the cooling fins and guarantee optimal air exchange. An oval air duct in the middle of the cooler provides controlled air turbulence within the heat sink, whereby the heat can be dissipated more effectively. The special design of the heatsinks aluminum fins allows for a particularly low air resistance and has been optimized for low-rpm fans.
The heat sink is aligned to the rear of the PC case, which ensures that even when using ram modules with high-rising heat spreaders no incompatibilities will arise despite the impressive dimensions of the heat sink.
A new temperature-controlled 120 mm PWM fan is included, the TY-127. With an improved air flow, the high end fan has a speed range of 300 – 1.300 rpm (+/- 15%), producing a maximum air flow rate of about 94.8 m³/h. Due to the temperature-dependent control of the fan by the motherboard (if supported), the optimal ratio between volume and cooling capacity is achieved at all times, without the need of manual intervention.
The fan is mounted with the included fan clips on the cooler, a second pair of fan clips is also part of the package.
The Macho 120 SBM is multiplatform-compatible and includes mounting material for all common CPU-sockets. The cooler can be used on Intel LGA 775/1156/1366/1155/2011/1150/2011-3/1151* as well as on AMD AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/FM2+ boards.
Included are eight pieces of rubber tubes for the decoupled mounting of the fan, as well as the Thermalright screwdriver. With this extra-long screwdriver, which has a magnetic tip, it is very easy to install the cooler, even if the motherboard has already been mounted in the case (given that an appropriate mounting hole for the installation of the back plate is available in the motherboard tray).
*We strongly recommend to use our specially designed 1151 Support Spacer when mounting the cooler on LGA11 “Skylake” CPUs.
