Mikhailtech -- After the fall of the old king of air cooling, the TRUE, some manufacturers have succeeded to make better and better heatsinks, with different shapes and sizes. All concurrence was ripped apart when Noctua have presented their NH-D14 heatsink. Thermalright, which developed one of the best heatsinks for a really long time had to catch up. In this review we will see if we will have a new king of air cooling or a huge dissapointment.

 

Frosty Tech -- The Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme heatsink is a continuation of the Ultra-120 series, only with a little more muscle and a couple extra heatpipes. It's predecessor has remained at the top of Frostytech thermal test results for both AMD and Intel platforms basically since we tested it, so we're especially interested to see how the Ultra-120 Extreme model handles. Like the Ultra-120 that came before it, the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme applies fairly simple concepts to yield a well performing tower heatsink that doesn't have to generate much noise to get the job done.

OCIA -- At first glance we can't help but compare the looks of the V-1 with other recent Thermalright offerings such as the XP-120 and XP-90. Aluminum construction using heatpipe technology is a design feature shared by all three. These are not new ideas for GPU coolers however, there are many other companies who manufacture similar products, and have for years. Can the V-1's functionality and performance live up to the Thermalright name? Being that this is their first venture into the VGA cooling market I'm sure expectations are high.

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!

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 nickel plated which is a very good material for cooling. The design of 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..

OCIA -- The first step is pretty simple; lay down the included plastic bracket, and screw it in place -- if your backplate is glued on like mine, you don't even have to remove your motherboard for this. Then of course you would apply a thin layer of thermal grease to the CPU.

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.

MetkuMods -- hile overclocking, proper cooling of memory can make the difference between the computer being stable or not. Manufacturers of high performance memories have added cooling to their higher end memory modules for long time now, but there are also some after market solutions available. This time we'll take a closer look at Thermalright's HR-07 Memory Module Cooler.
