Thermalright Ultima 90I CPU Cooler Review

**Capper** · January 14th, 2008

Masters of heatpipes and large, sexy coolers, to not have at least heard of Thermalright is akin to failing to notice the sun on a hot mid-afternoon. As well seasoned veterans in the battlefield of computer cooling, any die hard enthusiast can immediately point to Thermalright's Ultra-120, IFX-10, or HR-03 Plus as prime examples of the company's effective and colossal cooling solutions. While most of the coolers we see come from their mysterious laboratories generate their own gravitational field, with Thermalright's newest offering goes to show perhaps bigger isn't always better.

Nice review! Just wondering, what camera are you using for the pics in the review?

I have the Ultima 90 with a 92mm panaflow 56.8 CFM fan cooling my C2Q Q6600. Works great!

Computer has been on for six hours of just surfing and doing light photo and scanning with the fan on low (as in barely turning.)

Very nice results Bob, welcome to HardwareLogic! :wavey:

But the real test of a cooler is the temps after an extended load when overclocked. Say after six hours of Prime95 while clocked at 3040 MHz.
