PHYSICAL DETAILS
The Thermalright Shaman consists of a stack of 55 aluminum fins, eight nickel-plated 6mm thick copper heatpipes and a large base of the same composition. We weighed it at approximately 510 grams bare, and 680 grams with the fan and mounting clips — a little bit more than the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus.

Like most video card coolers the Shaman sits underneath the GPU hanging down off the PCB in a typical ATX tower, a precarious setup for a cooler that weighs 680 grams. Thankfully the heatpipes are strong and numerous, holding the rest of the heatsink in place fairly well.
|
|
On average, the 55 fins are 0.42 mm thick and spaced 1.80 mm apart.

The base is almost perfectly flat with a mirror finish. Very light machine marks can be seen upon closer inspection.
|
|
The Shaman ships with six very thin ramsinks and 12 large ones (16 x 14 x 7 mm). Also included are six long VRM heatsinks (23 x 11 x 6 mm).
|
|
The extra heatsinks provided by most third party VGA coolers are usually mounted with the help of a paper-thin thermal adhesive film. Thermalright utilizes a rather thick white thermal pad that adheres easily and securely.
