True Copper shows the great performance

October 29th, 2008 by Qing Hardware, REVIEW

Thermalright’s Ultra-120 True Copper hits the shelf now and we took one already. Now we take a test on it.

True Copper, True Black and the Ultra 120E have the same configuration except the material. You can check here for the parameters of True Copper.

True Copper is as heavy as 1.890kg and has better performance.

True Copper take the most attention while it was announced. How good it is?  We’ve just tested it, compared to U120E.

Test platform：

Intel Core2 Extreme QX9770（OC，3.6GHz，400*9）

ASUS Maximus Extreme

Kingston DDR3 1006 1GB*2

Galaxy GeForce 260-216

The QX9770 OC to 3.6GHz，and the core voltage was 1.35V. We use four SP2004 at the same time，making it in fullloaded.  After 10min, let it on idle mode and read the temperature with “Core Temp” .

True Copper shows the great performance that we can see. By the way, the True Copper only have 3000 PCs available, and the price is 100USD.

    I hope you remembered to set fan speed to MANUAL and FIXED for an identical setup between tests. I would hate to think the temperature controlled fanspeed is at 60% until 70C than kicks up to 100%.

    Arrrg, just looking at that makes my motherboard’s back hurt. And while it may be almost 2kg in weight, the mounting stress could be more because of the right angle stress it gives when mounted upright. Might be best for flat lying systems though.

    first the weight is too much for an air cooler & second u can get a better water cooler in that price!
