hmm... that is expensive. you can get it for like RM140 - 145

Its sure can cool down the whole mobo but dont you guys ever think those 'air' from the heatsink is a hot air? Personally I think that those hot air will only make your mobo more warmer and dont forget more dust on the mobo.
*
this really depends on the case that u use.
if the airflow is bad, then yes, maybe this hsf will not perform too well. for for those bigger cases, this hsf will definitely perform well.

I dont think it would be fair comparison as those two cooler has only single surface for mounting the fan and the size of the fins are uncomparable ..

I hold it in hand as well but didn't buy it also .. the size is just annoying to me...
I bet Ultra-120 would loose as i am using it now and based on Uncle Ianho review.. .this baby works better around 8c at least. Single fan mounting VS dual fan mounting is not a fair comparison.

the only thing that concern me is the size, weight and compaitbility issue.
*
to be honest, i dont think so. the ultra should still outperform this hsf under load based on the various reviews that ive read online. if beat also not more than 2 degrees smile.gif
u can refer to XS to lsee more

i've been thinking, it's going to be hassle to change rams........ now with tr u-120 also i find it difficult to plug in the 12V cable adi
*
but look at it this way. its cheap, good and passes to be effective plus it cools down the pwm area and ur rams. sounds fairly good to me biggrin.gif
