Super cooler! IT IS really very BIG!!! super for overclocking
I overclocked from 3.4ghz to 4.5ghz and just 42degrees!!!
If you have enough space, I can only recommend it.Pro
- Gross
- Cools well
- Super for overclocking
Huge and quiet
Very Good
PS: Watch out for installation height, this thing is really big!Pro
- Huge
- Quiet
- Holds well
- Solts for working memory are not hindered!
- Beautiful magnetised screwdriver included
Contra
- Assembly in many individual parts, but simple and understandable
- Supplied thermal paste unfortunately a little cumbersome
Unbeatable in the price range, absolutely recommendable.
Inexpensive, but extremely good cooler. Practically unbeatable in this price range. My i7-4790K overclocked to 4.4 GHz barely gets above 65-70°C at full load, which is impressive for an air cooler, and the included fan remains almost inaudible (in a Fractal Define R5).
However, one should be careful as the heat sink is really big. Memory with high heatspreaders should be avoided, and installation in a "normal" LGA 2011-v3 system is probably almost impossible.Pro
- Cools well
- Quiet
- Comparatively uncomplicated assembly
- Price/Performance
Contra
- Supplied thermal paste usable for a start, but not really good
Quiet and cools a Ryzen 7 2700X superbly
The cooler has been around for a while, but if you don't want any blink-blink fuss, this is an excellent choice - I highly recommend it. Cools the overclocked Ryzen 7 2700X very well.
There are many tests on the internet in which the Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev.B always performs excellently, even compared to much newer CPU coolers.Pro
- Quiet
- Good cooling capacity
- easy assembly
Contra
- nothing
recommendable
works perfectly so far (up to now CPU temperature up to max 29°C).
Perhaps a few hints:
- Thermal compound is included (so you don't need to buy it).
- Before you install the motherboard, you should attach the fastener to the back (a description of how to do this is included and is easy to understand). Otherwise you have to remove it again ;-) ...
- A Phillips screwdriver is also included.Pro
- quiet cooling
- Fan is easy to replace if it should ever break down
- All necessary tools included, incl. heat-conducting paste
Contra
- quite large (so first check whether there is enough space above the CPU [LBH 13x6x18 cm])
good animals
quiet easy to assemble solid
Pro
- easy to install
- good performance
Contra
- slightly shitty fixation of the ventillo
Son of a bitch
I have installed the Rev. B version in three computers. The springs for mounting the radiator constantly drive me up the wall. Every time I plug in a GPU or something, the damn thing jumps off Venti. Then I have to swear for half an hour until the fan is back in place. And of course it can only be mounted when the GPU is out again. I wanted to have a mount printed, but the dimensions of the TY-147 fan are more than proper. The fan has 152x140mm, with 105mm hole spacing. Jesus Christ, who thinks up something like that? I really have to tie the fans down with cable ties so that the machos are suitable for my lab.
Pro
- Cools well
Contra
- Fan assembly (grrrrr)
- Fan more than properitary mass
Also very suitable for semipassive
I use the cooler to semi-passively cool my i7 4th generation in the home server. It does this with temperatures within an absolutely acceptable range. An intake and an exhaust fan rotate slowly in the otherwise closed Fractal Define Fractal Define S.
There is a version of the Macho that is even better suited for this purpose, but it was not available here. At this price, a top cooler that can also compete with various AIOs at a very good price.
Size would have to be considered because of compatibility with the case, but I would not describe it as a negative point.Pro
- Good cooling capacity
- Compatible with all common sockets
- Supplied fans are usable

Super cooling performance and very quiet.

Price-performance winner
Buy!
Pro
- Very quiet
- Beautiful and large
- Good fan
- My R5 1600 gets to max. 55-60°C so far
Contra
- Mounting the fan with anti-vibration pads extremely fiddly
- Supplied thermal paste
Quiet and affordable giant
The cooler is huge, but does exactly what it should. So pay attention to your installation dimensions - also to the RAM! If someone needed it, a second fan could be attached to the back of the heat sink.
Pro
- Good cooling capacity
- Quiet
- A very good magnetic screwdriver is included - which is also needed
- AM4 ready
Contra
- Size and weight (which it needs for the cooling capacity, of course. But caution is advised)
- Cooling paste in the "little bag" a bit frumpy to apply

Recommended if there is enough space.
Good product, assembly takes longer than with push-pin coolers, but the cooler also holds. Unfortunately, only the Chill Factor (not 2 or 3) thermal paste is included in a sachet.

- Good stable mounting
- Good cooling capacity
Contra
- Gross
Large and cools well
This is a very large cooler, which is very suitable for overclocking above 4.0 GHz.
Pro
- Large
- Cools very well
Good cooler
Interesting and lush cooler. I previously had the "be quiet! Dark Rock Advanced". The Macho doesn't cool as well as its predecessor when idle, but it's way ahead in terms of performance.
Pro
- Simple assembly (without MB removal, if given)
- Enough space for large ram modules
- Thermalright Screwdriver with magnetic tip
- Quiet
Contra
- Loud background noise here and there
Clear buy recommendation
This cooler is really great. With an i7-2600 overclocked to 4.3Ghz, I barely exceed 60°C at full load with Prime95. The PC is also only imperceptibly louder. I'm really thrilled, even with the price. Comparable coolers that I have looked at cost at least 20.- more. However, the size should not be underestimated. There is no room for the large 200mm side fan in my NZXT Phantom Case. The installation accessories including screwdriver are also great.
Note 3.03.2017: With the release of the new AM4 socket Thermalright offers all buyers a free upgrade kit to make the cooler compatible with it. Great service!Pro
- Good cooling capacity
- Quiet
- Price/Performance
- All RAM/PCIe slots unobstructed (Asus P8P67)
Contra
- Supplied thermal paste not recommended
- Installation height
I think this fan is great. you have to watch videos to see exactly how it is installed but that is no problem. however, you only have to do this if you have never installed one before.
easy to install with video instructions. I've never had one of these before and was a beginner, but I was able to install this fan with the help of a video tutorial. The booklet that came with it didn't really help, so I ran a video alongside where you can see what you have to do.
Pro
- pleasant and quiet
Contra
- not exactly a lightweight
Hammer Fan!!!
I use the fan to cool my custom-built home server, and this thermalright replaced the intel cpu cooler that originally came with it,
before old fan => standby, cpu 60°C, environment 24°C
after new fan thermalright => standby, cpu 35°C, environment 24°CPro
- high cooling
- cool design
- good guidance
- beautiful screwdriver
- Price/performance ratio
- super quiet, I can't hear it at 100%,
- ring can be extended with 2nd ventilator
Contra
- long assemble
Great fan
The installation requires a little time, also because of the many parts.
The description is well done and understandable.
It is very good that the screwdriver is included, because it is necessary.
The cooling unit is large.
Pay attention to the installation depth!Pro
- Large part
- Quiet
- good workmanship
- Fan can be replaced without having to remove the cooling section
- Many individual parts, various CPU sockets
- Screwdriver provided

Buy recommendation
Very good cooler, instructions for installation above the cut. Fan did not turn at first - only because the cable was not plugged in correctly. Be sure to remove the foil from the contact surface to the CPU before installation and clean with a little cleaning alcohol if necessary (glue residue). It is particularly positive that the delivery includes some spare material (1 additional screw, additional set of anti-vibration pads). Before buying, please clarify (measure if necessary) whether the cooler fits in the case, it is relatively large and only suitable for ATX cases. Overall, a clear 5-star.
Pro
- Scope of delivery
- Instructions
- Price-performance ratio
Large and efficient cooler
Very quiet and robust cooler. But you have to be careful that it fits into the case and does not cover the Ram.
Pro
- Quiet
- Robust
- Good cooling performance
- Screwdriver supplied
Contra
- somewhat complicated to set up
- massive
very good
Installation in small enclosure somewhat fiddly
