Check out anand's review of Thermalright's new cpu cooler. What a monster!

 

[Statross]

yeah, i read that...definitely would be my first choice now. anandtech seem do be doing alot of good reviews lately

They have taken a strong position as my 2nd favorite review site. The forums over there suck though.

hmm.

That is impressive!! 8O 8O 8O

Some of those temps are down right awesome!!

 

[ches111]

I either missed it or it is not there at all...

Was there a projected price for the extreme?

I didn't see one either, it looks like we will have to wait till it hits shelves.

Hum. I might buy this just to OC my Pentium 60. Think I can get 2.4ghz?

Anyway, website shows problems installing this with Gigabyte Mobos... dang i have an S3.

I know right, I was reading it several days ago. Thanks to the massive amount of heatpipes the Ultra 120+ is a great improvement from the first version. I'm waiting for Frostytech to test these new cpu cooler for themselves.

Really! Thats surprising, what's the problem?

 

[Statross]

its probably not gigabyte boards, probably ones with the back-plate...probably (anadtech is down for me so i cant check)

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

a back plate riser that gigabyte uses. it goes in to detail on their website.

 

[SEALBoy]

Wow those are some crazy temps... almost 4GHz on air and still less than 50C under load...

I was wondering how Anandtech got 36C with their Tuniq at load. When I did my load temps measurement, I used TAT, which gave me 46C. Anandtech doesn't use TAT, they use a game

The stress test simulates running a demanding contemporary game. The Far Cry River demo is looped for 30 minutes and the CPU temperature is captured at 4 second intervals with the NVIDIA monitor "logging" option. The highest temperature during the load test is then reported

I thought I didn't seat my Tuniq properly (which was weird because I have a similar idle temp as Anandtech's review.

In gaming, I get 38C, very similar to Anandtech's results.

Yeah that new Ultra 120 is cool! It's nice to see that the performance curve keeps improving!

Didnt i post this like 2 days ago?

It is an awesome hsf, but I dont think the thing would fit in my case, too tall.

Quite possibly, I was out of town earlier this week and probably missed it. My apologies if this is the case.

Still, a great cooler, no?

 

[lazyvenki]

the thermalright makes me very slightly want to return my tuniq(i haven't installed it yet). but both coolers are really a cut above the rest.

Yeah, if you've already got the tuniq in hand, I don't think the performance difference is worth the drive back to the store.

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

What about compounding both heat syncs? Wouldn't that double the amount of cooling?


use this equation where t(u) and t(h) are each heat syncs.


dG = -SdT + VdP + ∑µdN(sub i) x (t(u)/t(h))/∑α


works out to a factor of 1.4 which would be worth it.

 

[stefx]

huh....only one heat sink fits on a cpu...

 

[warezme]

very good scores but how does that compare to water seeing as how good they are?

 

[stefx]

water cooling costs more and cools more

 

[CompTIA_Rep]

huh....only one heat sink fits on a cpu...

you dont say "huh" to the mathematics of thermal dynamics, you say "huh" to combining both heat syncs... funny!

 

[slim142]

I would like to first see the price, $60 should be good for it.

why's that funny?:/ i dont think i get the combination of heatsinks either:/
