Thermalright True Copper Ultra-120 Extreme
A little introduction written over at Tom's Hardware
Quote: | The heatsink is made entirely of copper and there are both advantages and disadvantages to this. A copper heatsink has much better thermal conductivity than an aluminum heatsink. However, it is also more expensive to produce and much heavier than an equally sized aluminum heatsink. For the latter two reasons, Thermalright is only producing 2,000 units, as the overall demand will likely be lower than the rest of Thermalright’s product line. If you want to purchase one of these coolers, you may need to get in fast. While price may not be an obstacle for the air cooling enthusiast, the mass of this heatsink is a significant issue when transporting the computer around. Weighing in at in incredible 1.9 kg, compared to the 790 g of the original Extreme, the motherboard will be under substantial strain even with a backplate. Therefore, the cooler will be more suited to stationary PCs. |
Who would be such a fool to pay for something like this....I mean
seriously  
BUT if I were a fool then the least I could do is show you guys some in house pics 
 
could not leave the pic out of it in all it's glory
It's hilarious how heavy this thing is. When I picked up the box off the front step I was in disbelief that it was only a heatsink inside.
I don't care what anybody says, this should NOT be put on motherboards that are in a vertical position. It would definitely do damage in the long run. I am starting doubt it even needs a bracket it is so heavy. If anybody is interested I can test this against some other aftermarket heatsinks using a digital thermometer to see how it stacks up. btw, there is a 1366 socket bracket on the way
