Thermalright Ultra 120 Cu Limited Edition up for Grabs Next Month
Famous for their fin-array based air cooling, Thermalright had earlier announced that they would be releasing a full-copper version of their popular Ultra 120 CPU cooler. Reports suggest that the cooler indeed will make it to the market next month, just that the company would be making only 3,000 of these coolers making it a limited-edition product. The cooler uses copper in all its parts, starting from the CPU contact base, the six heatpipes, and the 50+ fins. With copper being a heavier metal than aluminum, the heatsink tips the scales at a whole 3 kilograms (roughly 6 lbs). The thermal properties of copper along with an element of aesthetic appeal would sell this product, which will be priced at US $99 when it releases next month.

@DrPepper:
wow . . . you just quoted the entire post with all the pictures just to say you have one of those fans? total waste of space on the page :shadedshuyay, you fixed it :)As for bong(Tower Coolers from now on) they are capable of bring temps down to the dew point which at times can be as much as 30*F cooler than ambient. Also they work much better in dry climatesso if you live on a coastline they won't work as well as one in the desert.............(yes I'm am quite fluent in Tower cooling)
infact i thinkg if they came up with a way to bond alum and copper in the fins it would lead to better disapation, have a copper "rail" down the center of each fin with alum making of the bulk of the fins, that would allow the alum to dissapate heat fast and copper to transfer it to the alum ;)
