The Thermalright AXP series of low-profile tower coolers are specifically designed for compact computer cases with limited internal space (such as HTPC, Desktop and Cube Case). These coolers provide a solution for those looking for efficient cooling in tight spaces without sacrificing performance. In most cases, they are less efficient than full-size tower coolers, so the manufacturer recommends using them with mid-range processors that operate primarily at moderate thermal loads.


Most models feature a single fan with PWM speed control, allowing users to fine-tune the balance between noise level and system cooling capacity. Representatives of the AXP family are compatible with most modern Intel and AMD processor sockets, making them a universal solution for a variety of platforms.

If you compare Thermalright AXP coolers with other low-profile cooling systems, you will immediately notice a more serious approach from Thermalright. While most low-profile systems are entry-level and do not stand out for their high build quality, this series includes models such as the AXP-200R, with a massive flattened radiator and an array of six heat-conducting tubes. Plus, the AXP-200R is equipped with a massive backplate and supports replacing the stock fan.
