Thermalright V1 Ultra
Thermalright has always been known of making effective and high quality CPU coolers. This lifted the expectations high on how well the V1 will perform. Cooler itself differs radically from other tested coolers because of its design. The actual cooling fins sit on top of the VGA card with 80 mm fan mounted on top of the fins. Base part and fins are linked together with a help of three heatpipes. The base part also has mounting holes for 80 mm fan. Mounting another fan here increases the amount of cooling area. Copper parts are nickel plated and it fooled even me believing that the base was made out of aluminum.
Thermalright V1 Ultra
Like Sytrin's solution, this cooler also comes in two versions. Difference between Ultra and non Ultra versions is that the Ultra has three heatpipes instead non-Ultra's two. This extra heatpipe should make heat move faster to cooling fins, away from the GPU core, making it cooler. Unfortunately we couldn't test this in practice as we only had the Ultra model at hand. Like always, when talking about Thermalright, the package is just a brown box with manufacturer's name and product's model number printed on it. Package with details would be nicer for customer as one could check compatibilities and such before buying the cooler.
Compatibility information can be found from Thermalright's website.
The fan
While there is a possibility to mount two fans on to the heatsink, the V1 comes equipped with only one 80 mm fan. It's only 15 mm thick, but otherwise normal sized and can be easily changed to another 80 mm model if needed. Included mounting screws of the fan are so short it can only be mounted one side up. Thermalright has seemingly tested if it's more efficient to pull or push air throught the heat sink. Fan comes with normal three pin connector, which can be mounted directly to motherboard if there happens to be a fan connector close enough. Like Sytrin, Thermalright has also wanted to save on wire lengths.
Ramsinks
Both coolers came with ramsinks. Sytrin's heat sinks were memory chip shaped, but bit smaller in height. Thermalright's sinks are square shaped and bit taller. While memory chips don't usually need extra cooling; for example the 6600 card used in this review came with no ramsinks, there maybe times when that extra bit of cooling is needed to reach those few extra points in 3dmark. And even if you don't see the point on putting them on for extra cooling, think of them as eye candy.
