Thermalright is back with their first high performance tower heatsink, designed to work with high speed fans it?s destined to keep your CPU running cool, let?s find out how it does.

Introduction, Specifications and Up Close

Thermalright Ultra-90:
Supplied by: Bacata

Our last Thermalright CPU heatsink review action at the site was at the beginning of this year when we tested the HR-01. At Cebit a month later we learned about two new products, the Ultra-90 and Ultra-120, while the HR-01 was designed for low airflow/passive cooling, the Ultra series with its tightly packed fins craves for strong airflow to perform well. Today we take a closer look at the Ultra-90 which supports 92mm fan size.

The base design is very similar to the HR-01 and is also made from copper (nickel plated); three U shaped heat pipes transfer the heat to the aluminum fins which are tightly packed in a tall tower design. If the XP-90 was the "monkey" generation, the Ultra-90 has learned to walk straight up.
