thermalright ultra-120 TRUE copper?

ragingbull47 · 12-31-2008, 12:35 AM

looks like the i7 needs good cooling, and i'd rather stick with air. is this the be-all/end-all to get?
and is the p6t board sturdy enough to hold it in midtower setting?

"Since the release of Ultra-120 eXtreme, it has become the standard, or as the one to beat in a lot of major CPU cooler comparisons. At Computex 2008, Thermalright displayed three versions of the Ultra-120 eXtreme; original (aluminum), black, and copper. Not surprisingly, the copper version was the one most well received. Many hardcore Overclockers saw it to be the ultimate air cooling device. Inheriting from its predecessor, TRUE Copper has six highly efficient heatpipes with every vital part soldered to them to ensure the highest rate of heat transfer and durability. This is one of the features that you will see in each and every Thermalright heatsink.

TRUE Copper's weight exceeds all of Thermalright's previous heatsinks. Due to this reason, we strongly suggest installing it on a horizontal platform. Even though in Thermalright's test lab, TRUE Copper was taken out for a test drive on a vertical platform and ran without a glitch and the motherboard came out unscathed. But since not all motherboards are manufactured the same way in terms of thickness and degree of stress, Thermalright cannot guarantee the condition of your motherboard after TRUE Copper is installed for a certainly amount of time. If you insist installing on a vertical platform, please check to make sure your motherboard is sturdy enough."

I can vouch for the TRue Black 120, I have the lowest temps I have ever seen with any CPU that I've owned and I now have a 3.0GHz quad with 12MB cache. One of my cores runs 6-8degF below room temp. and I've checked my temps with HWM, Core Temp, and Real Temp. I'ts real!

I have the regular Al TRUE, and it works great. Occasionally I get the itch to go back to water, but this is just so much easier...
