Thermalright Unveils the Royal Pretor 130 Ultra Dual Fin-Stack CPU Cooler
Thermalright today unveiled the Royal Pretor 130 Ultra premium dual fin-stack CPU cooler. It comes in white and black color models. It features a traditional aluminium dual fin-stack (D-type) heatsink, with seven 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes passing through a C1100 copper baseplate to pull heat from the CPU and spreading it across the two fin-stacks, which are ventilated by a pair of fans in push-pull configuration.
The outer "push" fan is a Thermalright TL-K12 120 mm spinner, while the inner conveyor fan is the 130 mm TL-HD13-X28. Both fans come with fluid dynamic bearings. The TL-K12 turns at speeds of up to 2,150 RPM, pushing up to 69 CFM of airflow at 27 dBA of noise output and 2.87 mm H₂O static pressure; while the TL-HD13-X28 turns at up to 1,750 RPM, pushing up to 81.88 CFM of airflow at 2.38 mm H₂O static pressure, and 28.3 dBA maximum noise output. The cooler measures 130 mm x 135 mm x 158 mm (LxWxH) with the fans in place. The company didn't reveal weight.

Is there anyone here able to keep count of how many they make?
EDIT: Forgot about differing heatpipes count. And I certainly won't go searching for the info on what model has how many and of what thickness.
I guess the real Thermalright flagship was the friends we made along the way.
I wonder if/when it will be released new Silver Arrow with 8 heatpipes and I wonder what's the difference between new best Thelmalright model and old Silver Arrow Ivy Bridge-E.
I have a different mount, maybe I will try those old coolers with the new mount. But their new gen coolers did way better for me.
Edit:
I also have a TY-143.
'Might help explain some of the performance differences for otherwise similar mass and configuration TR coolers, over the years.
Just get the newest, they're all basically the same price ($35-40).
To check for newest: go to Thermalright's site & select "Heatsink": thermalright.com/product-category/heatsink/
And the products are listed in release order (newest first).
And if you have a certain size requirement, just do a tiny bit of research.
