Mostly all of the CPU heat-sinks come in all shapes and definite crazy sizes; to think we can get the basic looks and styles of CPU cooling units, to at least do what is suppose to do rather than appeal to the naked eye as everybody likes it, doesn’t make any sense to me, giving an example with the thermaltake dual orb, exceptionally large to fit heat-sinks and impossible to be installed in a motherboard plus the lying impression of the two fans, that figures the signs of cooling solution in your ears; and then firing back with high levels of noise and the headache of having a crashing frenzy, blue screens or all out silicone meltdown. Still, with the upside of the crazy and the ugly CPU coolers in the market, there are still those clean cut nerd still prowling the CPU cooling market making down to earth designs with exceptional cooling. Thermalright for one brings the sanity to CPU cooling and with the TRUE solution from Thermalright gives one offers great cooling ability and prize.
The Ultra 120-Extreme is a rise up, as I would call it, CPU cooler; as it is a passive type of tower cooler, you can, with other review sites, make a number of ways getting a third party fan and stuck in either sides and to make even better buy to fans to efficiently push lots of air out of the cooler. TRUE as it goes by everybody, comes out really famous cooler that Bit-tech and tom’s hardware use for being my opinion, a performance cooler, just between the insane and the cheap box. For specs of the TRUE is a full aluminium fins with six heat-pipes that goes sky wards to dispense heat, plus the company being to say that they improved the cooling potential by having fully wield the heat-pipe to the individual fins gives a better surface area and, I like the different type of sockets you can install in, having only a square block touching the CPU top, can be customizable with the bundled socket connectors, plus the additional part that the TRUE can be installed to the newer Intel LGA1366 socket, you just need to pay little more for the attachment. The test being how fast the cooler keep the load temp in stable point, with the passive cooling, in stock settings Dual and quad cores can be detected to be at least 50 to 55 degrees, but with higher frequencies having to add a fan is necessary. With the plus of actually choosing your own ideal fan to cool and having the noise level at a minimum give it a great choice to modders that want full control on the active cooling solution.
