OCIA -- Definitely nothing to block the airflow through the fins. The SI-97 is fairly large, but with its design, it will fit nearly all Athlon XP based motherboards. According to the Thermalright site, the only board at this time that has been determined not to accept the SI-97 is the Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2.

Pro-Clockers -- Just today Thermalright were friendly enough to send out their newest model in coolers, the Ultra-120. The Ultra falls into the same category as the very popular type of coolers known as towers types. They are both tall and fairly heavy and cool better than any previous cooler design of the past. Today we will see how the Ultra-120 stands up to our reigning champ, pitting it against the Scythe Infinity.
Hardware Logic -- With graphics cards becoming more and more power hungry, its only logical that they are going to generate more and more heat.

PC Modding Malaysia -- Overall the V1 Ultra brings a few improvements over the original V1 and it worked as advertised. The packaging is nothing fancy but it offers maximum protection to the heatsink, which should survive even the toughest shippers. The package comes with a lot of accessories including eight pieces of aluminium heatsinks and some thermal pads. The installation guide is good but it could be better. We were also very impressed with the overall build quality of the heatsink and the V1 Ultra is one of the sexiest looking GPU coolers out there...
OCIA -- Now we move on to the installation. As noted previously, the installation for the SP-94 is a little more involved than the SLK-947U. To install the SP-94, you must first remove the P4 retention bracket that most traditional P4 heatsinks use. With only a 20g increase in weight from the SLK-947U, I was really surprised it would require such a robust mounting system.
Techniz -- The Thermalright V-1 is a very good VGA cooler in terms of the
performance and the stylish look. The Thermalright V-1 VGA Cooler performs
very well during our testing. Moreover, it is made of fully aluminum with

this VGA Cooler is very stylish, nice, and light weight. It also support
dual 80mm cooling fan to mount in the top and bottom of the heatsink..
3D Game Man -- ThermalRight has always been partial on my heart. Ever since the days of my (still in use) AX-7, ThermalRight has impressed with its innovative products. Today we are looking at the all new Ultra-120, all aluminum, CPU heatsink. Just the name alone, Ultra-120, gives you a heads up that this will be one Godzilla-ish cooler. The size is only the first half. The performance put out by this unit is just as impressive!
