In the quiet corners of the PC building world, where space is measured in millimeters and heat is the enemy of ambition, Thermalright has released a small cooler that punches well above its modest price. The SI-100, a top-down heatsink designed for compact systems, outperforms every rival in its class by a meaningful thermal margin — a reminder that thoughtful engineering need not be expensive. At a time when small-form-factor builds are growing in popularity, this cooler arrives as a practical answer to a persistent tension between size, silence, and performance.
