The last time Thermalright released a hybrid cooler, they had no idea it was destined to become one of the most popular and revered heat sinks of all time. The excellent price/performance ratio of the AX7 allowed it to develop an almost cult following that continues to this day, in spite of the release of newer and better-performing models. Improving on this showing is something that Thermalright didn’t take lightly, and it took until now for them to perfect their next-generation aluminum/copper cooler, the ALX-800.
