Package and Accessories

The shape and “design” of the package didn’t change, the color did. Now it is made of white cardboard instead of brown:

The heatsink sits in protective casing made of polyurethane foam. There is a small box with accessories next to it that contains the following:

• X-shaped steel retention plate for LGA 775 mainboards;
• Backplate for LGA 775 mainboards;
• Installation manual for supported socket types;
• Backplate for Socket Am2 mainboards;
• Steel retention plate for Socket AM2 mainboards;
• A set of spring-screws;
• Four wire clips for attaching fans to the heatsink;
• Thermalright logo sticker;
• Thermalright The Chill Factor 2 thermal compound;
• Four sticky silicone strips absorbing vibrations.

Unlike the common Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme, the copper model comes with twice as many wire clips for fans installation and twice as many silicone strips. Therefore, the owners of TRUE Copper Ultra-120 eXtreme will not need to invent ways of attaching an additional fan to it.

Besides that, the bundle also includes new Thermalright The Chill Factor 2 thermal compound in a 2g syringe:

Today we are not going to test the efficiency of the new Thermal compound. It will be part of our next thermal interfaces roundup (we have already collected 7 new samples for it).

I have to add that the recommended retail price of the new Thermalright TRU Copper Ultra-120 eXtreme is set at $99, although the very first announcements mentioned the price up to $150! The cooler is made in Taiwan in the amount of 1000 units only.
