Thermalright has released a very large new CPU air cooler with an equally impressive name: Le Grande Macho RT.
The Le Grande Macho RT features no fewer than 7 heat pipes from its massive heatsink, and is paired with a quiet 140 mm fan (model TY-147B) that ranges from just 300 RPM to 1300 RPM. While large it is still smaller than the company's well-respected SilverArrow dual-tower cooler, and depending on performance could offer a compelling alternative for low-noise air cooling.

I spy with my eye,
I spy with my eye, “Specifications from Thermaltake:”
I believe that should be Thermalright :p
You are correct! I can’t type
You are correct! I can't type Thermal….without it ending in TAKE for some reason.
What a monstrosity… Are we
What a monstrosity… Are we in 2004??? Good catch on the Thermal take/Right thing as well. Maybe it is too difficult to copy/paste a press release?? Love those internet “journalists”. And after that they want to be treated seriously…
Bravely spoken, anonymous
Bravely spoken, anonymous commenter! Here are some fun facts: I wrote up this post using the product page on Thermalright's website as reference. I had no press release to refer to. I bone-headedly typed 'Thermaltake' at least two other times as I wrote, and then had to correct it to Thermalright as I read through the post before hitting "publish" (and still missed a couple more instances of this error).
These fun facts brought to you by Sebastian Peak, the author of this news post about a cooler that seems like an interesting product in a field I cover!

No you aren't; the best way to enjoy the idiocy is to imagine that they are all actually the same person.

this Sebastion PeaCOCK often
this Sebastion PeaCOCK often typo & bias towards certain brands. look how he criticized ViewSonic & what kinda monitor review u did.
when u can’t even do a proper calibration by using weird delta numbers. not a single review from peacock is legit.
stop review any shit. just copy jeremy style how he posted. try learn from him to be humble.
look how he criticized
look how he criticized ViewSonic & what kinda monitor review u did
Loosely citing one review of an ASUS monitor, for which I took a lot of criticism for inadequate testing, has what bearing on typing the wrong PC component brand beginning with "thermal"?
I have reviewed exactly 0 monitors since that ASUS review, by the way. I appreciate that I lack professional equipment and knowledge of advanced calibration that certain readers require. I incorrectly assumed I could review a monitor for the site, and I'm still hearing about it to this day!
when u can't even do a proper calibration by using weird delta numbers
You certainly can't please everyone.
By the way, I am impressed by all of the clever wordplay. I don't remember picking my last name as a child (memory has failed me), but for whatever reason I chose "Peak" so now I'm stuck with it – unless I want to investigate the legal proceedings to change it to something less offensive.

Sorry, won't stop reviewing things. But I will take your advice; from now on, I'm copying Jeremy. For everything!
Damn you Peak!
Damn you Peak!
What’s the link to your
What’s the link to your highly-rated, often-cited tech news website? I’d really like to see how it’s *supposed* to be done.
I mean, you must have one, right? You obviously know better than anyone who works for PCPer how things should be done. Clearly you must do it better than them.
Please share the link so that I and the other readers here can see what a proper hardware review looks like.
I’ll wait.
Sebastian, never mind these
Sebastian, never mind these ungrateful idiots. I enjoy you news posts and articles very much.
