erkk is there an Ultra xp 120?i know Ultra 120 gotla?

9700LED = copper coloured, blue LED fan
9700 NT = nickle plated, green LED fan

reading some of the reviews, there seems to be conflicting results some ultra 120 tops, some infinity, some ninja, but diffrerence by few degrees only, anyone personally tried comparing all 3?

It's normal to have conflict result as different ambient temperature, casing structure and PC component ...

Anyone of the three cooler u mentioned equally perform well actually... the thing that u could look into is the noise level, easiness of installation and maintenance...

My vote goes to Thermalright Ultra 120...

erm.. how is the level for the noise and maintenance level?
i current only use stock fans.. it is very noisy and a lot of dust stuck in the sink.

Bro, look at zalman website, then look for the highest cfm level for the heatsink that you're pointing at...

Because u don't have to worry about thermalright though, u can choose any fan to u're liking, be it a noisy or silent fan...

That's why i love thermalright heatsinks, you can always choose the fan that u want to you're choice...

Totally agree with shawTY .... thermalright still the best when comes to maintenance ...

just throw it into soap water then wipe off with cloth ... shine like brand new .....

Nanee?
Can clean like that kaa?

All this time, i just use tooth brush and water to clean the heatsink...
[Not the tooth brush that i use for brushing my teeth... ]

that wan just small thingy la...

back to topic.
if u wanna use ultra 120 make sure u have a casing that wide enuff for it.also ur budget keep in mind ultra 120 is expensive and come with NO fan.But the best things doesnt come cheap

Does copper rust?

Anyway is the Zalman LED changeable?

oxidized also zalman LED changable? nope

Copper?
Rust?

I know it's very low in the reactivity table...but there's still copper oxide. So i just wondering if wash with water will it rust?

Most pure copper heatsink oxidises over time ler... like my old thermalrights and zalman VF700....now all black already. Fugly unless giving it the tomato sauce treatment

nope just oxidized only.like statue of liberty it wont rust just like green algae

using infinity now, in terms of temp dissipation, no regrets, only thing that bugs me is the clearance, only hv less than 1cm clearance due to my mobos nb heatsinks, anyone measured the height of the ultra 120 frm the base (bottom) to the first/lowest fins as they normally only publish overall dimensions?

L63.5 x W132 x H160.5 mm (heatsink only)--->ultra 120

bro, thats the overall, see the attachment
