Thermalright is an elite design house that manufactures cooling products for computer components for the best quality and performance your money can buy. In 2002, AMD released its first generation Thunderbird CPU and since then we have been there every step of the way to counter high voltage and high heat with innovative design and highly acclaimed cooling solutions not only for AMD but for Intel as well. One of early well known solutions was the SK-6. With many positive and rave reviews under its belt Thermalright bolted to the top as the heat sink manufacturer mostly preferred by Overclockers and enthusiasts around the World. To this day, innovation never left our vocabulary as we keep coming up with leading edge designs staying ahead of the competition

This is the complete installation guide for the Venomous-X taken from Thermalright official website.
http://www.thermalright.com/new_a_page/pro...venomous-x.html

It's time to show off a completely installed Venomous-X in the test bed.
I resized to bigger size to provide clearer view



Test Rig:
Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.4GHz
Asus Rampage II Extreme
3x2GB Kingston Value RAM @ 7-8-7 1600MHz
Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1000W
Asus Xonar D2X
Western D 1TB Black RAID 0
Cooler Master Cosmos S
Tuniq TX-3

Softwares:
Core Temp
CPU-Z
Prime 95

Test Method:
Tuniq TX-3
Ceiling fan on
Case closed
3 exhaust on top, 1 exhaust at rear, 1 intake at front ( basically a negative airflow setup )
Prime 95 for 2 hours, then turn off for 30 minutes for cool down and run for another 2 hours Prime 95, minimum and maximum reading will be divided into 2.


Coolers:
Corsair H50 Custom Intake Fitting ( Push & Pull with Cooler Master 90CFM )
Thermalright Venomous-X ( Push & Pull with Cooler Master 90CFM )
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme ( Push & Pull with Cooler Master 90CFM )
Prolimatech MegaShadow Deluxe ( Push & Pull with Cooler Master 90CFM )

All cooler will be applied with Tuniq TX-3.

Result is here

The H50 using custom fitting and dual fan setup, so the result might be far too good than other reviews

Pros:
Superb cooling
Very good built quality
Improved packaging
New mounting system giving xtra pressure
Push Pull is an ultimate setup for it

Cons:
No fans bundle
Backplate is not same as TRUE
Quite pricey

Overall I give personal rating of 9.8/10 for this cooler, definitely is a must for case show off and overclocking

Where to find this cooler in Malaysia?

Open for discussion
Stay tuned for the final result tomorrow night.

Sweet stuff, but can the images be thumbnailed? Have to do a lot scrolling

Just scroll la
Hosting is easier for me

And the winner is.....

woww ace mei mei .. is it you're grabbing another good batch of i7 this time? hahahha most normal batch of i7 920 cannot do that with air cooling solution man.. the temperature is damn high using air cooler solution

Stunning, i'm looking forward to see the result mei mei =_="

Now still headache to go MSD or VX keke

impressive stuff, cant wait to see the performance...

by the way.. ace is female??

is there a close-up view of the base of the heatsink without that sticker on? is it really smooth and shiny? or maybe can be improved by lapping a bit?

Yup, this is good batch but still, inside a negative air flow casing, it goes up to 90c

VX is much better than TRUE and MSD.

It's 100% mirror finishing and the base contact is real good

i wonder what will it look like after 6months of usage....any idea how to polish bare alluminium like the VX ?

how many kilo will this thing weight....

such a thing always worries me...

no LinX?? aw... I'm disappointed..... u better put in your naked pic at the end of the review to please me.

btw, is it in-place large FFTs mode that ur gonna be using for the prime95?

@ace

put spoiler & warning la......
