Feature

Larger surface area than any other heatsinks (140mm x 120mm) with option to install one or even two 140mm fans
Designed for better air flow management to work with the heatsink fans* and the air inside your computer case
Four large 8mm heatpipes to distribute massive amount of heat fast and efficiently
Optional to rotate the heatsink 90 degrees to best fit your system configuration
Multi-platform compatible backplate for installation on vast number and type of motherboard. No need for complicated tools to convert

with how good the Ultra 120 + is doing, I wonder how they can possibly improve on the design.

Perhaps they already have sent some sample to Anandtech:D

When's this supposed to come out? O_o Looks freaking awesome. Do you put a fan in the middle of it?

Obviously by sticking TWO of them together :D

Wow, goodbye every other heatsink. The coolermaster gemini never even had a chance.

IFX-14 = Ultra120 X 2
Cant wait for it
when it would be Ready?

i'll take one of these and a cheap Q6600 please, I wonder what this back-side heatsink looks like...

*Checks paints* BRB...

Damn wet myself on that one, fricken huge. Definatly when does this beast come out, while my heatsink does work great, hey cooler and higher OC I don't mind that one bit that thing is a beast!

I remembered someone in the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme thread mentioned that they should have thicker heatpipes. Well there goes your wish:D

GG to every other heatsink, Thermalright wins.

those are the only 140 mm fans I know of, and they definatly dont impress me...

Performance PCs has some 140mm fans, including a Yate Loon.

finally a decent CFM 1400 fan...

yep, but look at the CFM...

even low end 120mm fans will move more air, then these typical 140mm fans I am seeing.
they seem to be built for extremely low noise.

me, If I get a heatsink like this, I want all the cooling I can get.
the max CFM at around 32-34 db is what I would aim for.

whats most interesting to me so far is...

"Includes a back-side dual heatpipe heatsink (patent pending), which not only additionally cools your CPU but also takes care of the heat coming from the back of the motherboard to extend the life expectancy and stability of your motherboard"

that I definatly want to see :D

cantankerous

I'm sure you don't need 140mm 100%. With the heatsink being as beefy as it is I am sure zip tying a high powered 120mm fan will do just fine.
03-09-2007, 01:36 PM
Super strokey

I think 33 DB might be still to high, id like something in the mid 20s for dB myself. OF course im not sure of the pitch that 140mm fans put out.

I agree with kuunaak, I really don't see how this is going to top up the ultra 120+ especially when it has even less heat pipes.

That back side heat pipe thing sounds VERY interesting tho.
I hope they sell it seperately so i can put it along with an ultra 120+ or something.

in terms of fans I personally think you just can't beat SilenX all the way up to 120mm
2x This one would be PERFECT for example:
90CFM @ 18dBA

Oooo...indeed, very eager to see how this works and what impact it makes.

Silenx don't bring that stuff. These fans are known for being underated in terms of noise. As goes for air movement not much different than any other high end fans.

this is what happens when you bread a sonic tower and a Ultra-120

The sound of the moving air leaving the fan, no matter how efficient/quiet the blades are would exceed 18 dba, thats basically a lie right there.

Oh damn that is a nice sink :banana: I agree with Kunnak, I wonder what the reverse of that sink looks like.

SilenX ALWAYS lies blatantly about CFM to dBA ratios. No surprise there.

when Thermalright posts the install instructions on their site they will show the rear heatsink. Until they we get to wait.

that using a 14cm fan on front of case, 14cm fan on back of case, and one very good duct mod.... mmmmmmm

I will say the Silenx fans work great. Slightly over rated and when you pay $20+ for a fan you're bound to be disappointed unless it's giving out BJ's.

thatll be one painful bj... nice heatsink!

i never liked the tower design, besides it looks similiar to Scythe Mine. Looks like Scythe copied the SI-128 with the Andy and TR got some inspiration from the Mine. whatever... tower heatsinks are just too huge imo

As long as it fits, I look at it as bigger the better.

I don't think it will need high cfm fans as it's divided into two parts and a 140mm fan at low speed should give enough pressure to push through the short distance of the first set of fins. But a ducted case fan will probably be needed to pull the air through the second part of fins.

They also probably made it with the P190 in mind as it has 140mm fans and has more room to spare and has two top fans so two of these might actually be a great 4x4 setup.

Nice to see this 140mm trend anyway.
