Page 7 of 8 Testing: The following was used during the testing of the Thermalright Ultra-120 cooler:
Enclosure: Ultra Aluminus Power Supply: Ultra X-Connect X2 550watt Processor: AMD 3000+ Sempron (Socket AM2) and AMD 3800+ X2 (Socket AM2) Motherboard: ECS C51GM-M Memory: Crucial Ballistix 2gig (2 x 1gig) DDR2 PC2-6400 
 Sorry for the bad pictures, my lighting died. :( But forging on, you can see in the second picture above, that when installed in the Ultra Aluminus case, the side air port that sits above the CPU, barely clears the Cooler Master Mars cooler! Putting the side panel back on can be a bit of a hassle if you don’t have the sleeve all the way back. With an ambient temperature of around 22°C, let’s take a look at the temperatures of the Mars cooler at Silent, Performance and PWM modes.  |
