thermolab BARAM vs ULTRA-120 eXtreme [LGA1366 Test]

When and where to get. I want one!

Seems that its about the same price as the Mugen II and about the same performance (maybe abit better) but which is easiets to mount? I hate having trouble with that :)

Was the TRUE lapped in this post ? Was it lapped in the other tests? makes a HUGE difference. My lapped TRUE is ICE cold with a Noctua 1200 attached.

Mugen 2 sucks to mount.

Have to mount the board to the HSF (i.e., screw in from the back).

Performs well though :cool:

The mugen 2 mounting is not that bad, took me about 20 minutes, and i was mounting it carefully on a 1366, if u're not using 1366 it'll be alot easier too.

Has anyone found a way to buy this thing yet? I really wanna give this thing a try since the idea spending $70 on a heatsink and having to lap it and pressure mod it, JUST to make it good drives me up the wall.

Not sure if this is pre-order or for sale since I can't read German, but here ya go.

Any news about the Baram being sold anywhere yet? it has been a while since the first benchmarks started popping up, the cooler should be for sale by now.

thanks Avan. i'm seriously considering this gem as my ultra 120 can't seem to handle my PII 940 well. $52 is not a bad price at all. i'll read up on it a bit more before ordering though.

And cooper edition?

I'm using BARAM with my PhII 940BE.

It serves me well.

I'm in Korea so this baby can be easily obtained. Although it's quite hard to buy one outside of Korea.

any update on this baby it looks great.

So what the best fans to use with this? Am currently using 2 X 1450 GT's and its doing good. Its quiet, but not the best for cooling performance...
