thermalright venemous-x reviews?

[jeff4952]

I can't seem to find any reviews on thermalrights replacement for the ultra 120. Can anyone comment on its performance?

I've heard that it has been beating the TRUE 120, Prolimatech Megahalems/MegaShadow by about 5 celsius.

i was hoping for a review with bench marks, all i can find are basically press releases about it..... well until now. i found someone on a forum that did one. It looks like he did a pretty thourgh job.

Note to mods: I don't know if you get angry about people posting links to other forums, i apologise in avdance if this is against the rules.

and by the edit i'll assume that is the case, no problem.

At the end of the day it is still air cooling and it WONT beat megahalems by 5c, 1-2c at best. There is some much error in testing process that the difference will not be noticeable. And as it is 70 pounds imo it isn't worth the premium unless you have money to burn. The Megahalems has a very nice ali mount bracket, but this new thermalright only has a pressed piece of steel. I really don't know why they think they can charge as much as they are. If I was there sales person I would price it just above the TRUE and gain more market share.

Edit: Just realised that you can buy the cooler for 46 pounds, therefore my views have changed dramatically. If it is really better than the current air cooling kings then go for it. Everyone wants some of the newest and greatest.
