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.
As most experts would expect, TRUE Copper will be a limited edition to the eXtreme lineup due to the high cost of copper. If you pass up this chance, you may never see another TRUE work of art again so don't wait anymore and grab one for the collection.
TRUE Copper Ultra-120 eXtreme now comes stock with LGA 1366 support!
*Note: LGA 1156 and Xeons require the optional Bolt-thru-kit in options below!!

This cooler is extremely efficient and has the looks of a classic sports car. I added two fans in a push/pull setup. The reality is this is still just an air cooler and the minimum tems at idle are about average for me. This cooler really shines under load and gives only slightly higher temps than mediocre water coolers. This monster keeps my i7 920 (@3.8ghz) at a steady 71c running 8 instances of Prime95 for 12 hours. And with 120mm fans, it''s quieter than my c2d was at 3.4ghz. GREAT piece of hardware.
It does it''s job well. Extremely well.

This is more then just a heatsink, it''s a work of art. Copper is a attractive metal, which adds to a already elegant design. But looks aren''t everything, it''s also the most efficient air-cooled heatsink on the market, bar none. I see what Thermalright means about mounting it on a horizontal platform. It''s so heavy, it could easily snap a older style socket right off the board. Even with the backplate, there is a possibility you will warp your board over time in a vertical setup. But if you have a desktop case or don''t mind the risk of mounting it in a tower, you will be hard pressed to find a better heat extractor. Cost is a little high, but if you are like me, then you are getting this particular heatsink for a reason.

I bought this because it looked cool. I was stunned how well it works. My i7 EE stays at 38deg with no fan and just +2 ambient with fan.
Too Cool for school

Keeps my phenom II x3720 (oc 3.72) at 28c idle and 35c full load. I have a 120mm pushing air and its amazing.
