It was way back in March 2007 when Thermaltake debuted its rather peculiar-looking V1 CPU cooler, featuring its dual-VTM design. Today, the Taiwan-based manufacturer of occasionally-strange coolers has literally blown up the V1 design and named it the V14Pro.
The giant V14Pro, pictured below, houses a 140mm fan in the midst of its array of fins and promises to deliver ideal air-cooling for the gaming enthusiast. It might look reasonably small when out of context, but remember that this big-v measures 171mm x 100mm x 161mm.
It provides an all-copper construction consisting of of six copper heatpipes, 98 extended copper fins and a mirror-coated copper base. The side-flow design is said to utilise existing system air flow to improve cooling efficiency without having to ramp up the fans speed - which, at its minimum setting of 1,000RPM has a noise output of 16dBA.
It's compatible with Intel's LGA775 and AMD's AM2/AM2+. No word on pricing just yet, but expect availability soon. In the meantime, here's Thermaltake's obligatory promo video:
