He aint heavy.... he's my cooler!

[Lee H]

Just a quick update to all the cooling affectionado's out there.

We've just had a nice white box dropped into the office with the following item inside



That's right - it's the Thermalright TRUE 120 Copper edition weighing in at a massive 1.8 Kg of pure copper to cool your CPU cooler.

We are just awaiting an ETA and of course pricing on these from Thermalright but I will update you once we have more information.

Best Regards,

Nice... but I doubt it will perform that much better than a standard one... And it will probably cost double!

[moogle]

Looks nice and shiny! I predict it'll be around £80
Gonna be some expensive buggers I hear.

Full of coppery goodness

[chuckskull]

Very pretty Wonder if it's any better than the normal one, the black one wasn't really.

Do you know how many are you getting? I heard they were only making a couple of thousand.

Oooo, how does it compare performance-wise to the OCZ Vendetta 2?

The Vendetta 2 is very competitive with the normal edition of this heatsink and makes it very good value at it's current price. In some reviews the TRUE is better and in others the Vendetta 2 is but the offset of the results are by a few degrees each time so I'm thinking this one will beat it, but at the price you'd pay for one of these unless this one gives really low temperatures the Vendetta would be best value for performance.

oooh i remember my XP-90C looking at that !

i can guesstimate a 40-50 price range, copper is expensive!

2kg hanging at 90' from your motherboard?

Get those cable strap squares that stick to the case, stick two to the top of your case, put some string or something of the sort and hook onto the heatpipes at the top of the heatsink. Should take the tension off the board. Sorted!

Or you could just get a decent cooler that does the job 99% as well for a fraction of the price and not have to worry about it breaking your mobo

People will buy it the same reason they buy DDR3 when DDR2 suits their needs or a QX cpu when a Q will do them good too.
