Intel has announced the next generation of their processors to be codenamed Conroe.  The target of the Conroe core is to reduce power consumption and heighten energy efficiency.  The new CPU model is called the Core 2 Duo.  The new Conroe core utilizes 65nm technology and retains the LGA775 socket style from before.  The CPU can contain two cores while dropping the power consumption down to 65W.  By greatly decreasing the power consumption of the computer system, it is the main driving force of Intel’s future.

Thermaltake Technology has also responded to Intel’s announcement of the next generation CPU.  The new cooling solutions from Thermaltake Technology are models CL-P0336 and the A4026 TR2 D1.

The CL-P0336 heatsink utilizes the special 9025 hanging fan design while spinning the fan at 4500rpm. The fan takes advantage of the PWM design of the motherboard so that the system can adjust than fan speed to as low as 500rpm if necessary. The heatsink main body utilizes a hollow copper core to greatly enhance thermal efficiency while reducing production cost. The CL-P0336 is mounted on the motherboard using the push pin used by the stock Intel cooler. As a result, the CL-P-0336 is a cooler that is easy to mount, inexpensive, quiet, and certified by Intel.

The other solution for the new Conroe core is the A4026 TR2 D1. The unit is constructed of an all-aluminum body with a 92mm fan cooling the unit. The fan itself spins at 2500rpm for a perfect balance between cooling performance and quiet environment. The A4026 utilizes the back-mounting mechanism that is no longer a stranger to the cooling community today. The backplate of the unit ensures a tight contact of the heatsink with the CPU core. Thermaltake offers these two solutions as two different mounting types while achieving excellent cooling results.
