Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU Cooler Review

**MIG-31** · Mar 2, 2008, 10:33 AM

Thermalright added two extra heatpipes to their successfully Ultra-120 CPU heatsink, in order to further improve performance on the high end scale. We compare this CPU cooling beast to the best out there to see what it can offer eXtra.

Hot on the heels of our previous CPU cooler reviews we bring you our long awaited coverage of the most high end CPU cooler out there, the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme. When Thermalright introduced their vanilla early [COLOR=#f5abb4]Ultra-120[/COLOR] in 2006 the AMD Athlon 64 systems were quite popular as the Intel Conroe had not launched yet. We tested this new cooler on our reference Athlon 64 system and found the results to be less than impressive.

I use the TRU 120 extreme when not running water, their a good cooler. Big so check the room in the system before you buy.

Probably the best air coolers out right now. I want to see something new on top now though!
