The TMEIII is the next evolution of the hugely successful TherMax Eclipse CPU cooler series. The increased number of heat-pipes combined with a higher number and density of dimpled fins and crowned with two (2) high airflow, Nano Bearing DC fans for extreme cooling performance. Five (5) U-shaped 8 mm all-copper heat-pipes are in direct contact with the CPU heat-spreader (heat source), rapid heat transfer to the 45 aluminum dimpled fins providing a larger surface area for optimum heat dissipation.

The TME III is supplied with two (2) 12 cm BlackStar 7 blades, high quality precision Nano - Bearing DC fans, providing high airflow and sufficient cooling. These fans are PWM controlled to provide the best sound / cooling ratio possible. Compatibility is guaranteed with multi-platform mounting for all current Intel and AMD micro-processors. The TME III brings cooling power to an all-new level. Another amazing product from Spire - Powered by Innovation.





Main Features:

- Five (5) 8 mm all copper U-shaped sinter-powder heat-pipes
- Heat-pipe base direct contact with all of the processor area
- Straight lined heat-pipes allowing air to easily pass through
- Stamped aluminum wide fins for best surface rate
- Dimpled surface fin for increased heat transfer rate
- All black-Nickel coated heat-pipes to preserve killer looks from oxidation
- Two (2pcs) 120 mm BlackStar 7 blade DC fan included
- High Quality, Long MTBF precision Nano - Bearing
- Supports AM2/AM3 socket 939/940/ 775/1155/1156 & 1366/2011
- Best cooling performance on hot CPUs up to TDP 150 W
- PWM fan speed control, 4 Pin Mainboard Connector

Compatibility:

The TME III Cooler is compatible with the latest ATX and Micro ATX boards based on the Intel Micro-processors sockets 775/1155/1156/1366/2011 and for AMD Micro-processors AM2/AM3/940/939 for AMD (not G34 compatible).

MSRP:

USD 64.95 / EUR 48.99

Product Includes:

TME III Heat-sink, Two (2) 12 cm BlackStar 7 blades nano-bearing DC Fans, 8 Anti-Vibe rubber fan mounts, BlueFrost thermal interface compound, Intel universal mounting set, AMD universal mounting set, Motherboard back-plate, User installation manual, Warranty registration card.

looks to be a good cooler, Still seems like tower based air cooler are the most efficient but the dual radiator leads the way. since I'm in the market for a nice air cooler Ill be awaiting reviews on this one. I'm not sure that it would be necessary for a i5 2500k or an ivy bridge though.

Going to need a rather large CPU heatspreader to make decent use of all those heatpipes.

Looks like it could be a decent performer though.

I always wanted the eclipse II, but it was never in stock.


I got a TRUE instead.


This should be a monster performer.
