We are again pleased to bring you one of the first, if not the first, review of yet another new "AMD Socket A" cooler from the stables of Thermalright, the SK-7. Even with the tremendous success of their two 80mm coolers; first the AX-7 and then the high performance SLK-800, there was still a gap that needed filling. To some, the high performance SLK-800 was too expensive while others were uncomfortable with the narrow base and loud fan required to achieve maximum performance. The AX-7 on the other hand, became an instant favorite with those who wanted great performance with the ability to use a lower noise producing fan. The only problem with the AX-7 was that it did not fit all "Socket A" motherboards.
