Thermalright TRUE all Copper at PPC's

[hoax]

mine has just arrived and after holding it I can safely say I will never try to mount it vertically. I will just keep it for a future bench style setup.

fishing lines might do the trick but I wouldn't dream of trying it without some sort of additional support.

[Slovnaft]

howabout tie them to the mobo side wall of the case, that way the tension pulls up and presses the block to the cpu.

[memolipd]

hmmm it would be clever if you could attach the bottem mounts THROUGH the mobo into the case. That way the case will be holding up/supporting it, you'll then have to find a way to press the cpu into the heatsink.

maybe bolt the thing through to the case and then have screws which lower the heatsink into the cpu nice and tight.

now that would be clever.

[pcaddict]

that fan look sooo MEAN!!

only thing i never liked about those monsters is the huge hub (dead-zone)






wonder what a "push push pull pull" set-up would do

That heatsink looks so small compared to those fans

[Achill3uS]

ive got mine today and made some fast test compared to my 24/7 water setup

photos






results, 86@4.2G 1.304v 10min prime95 loaded, used for both test OCZ Freeze thermal paste

TRUE Copper + big 120mm Delta fan @ 5v below 2000rpm



Watercooling (D-Tek Fuzion + Black Ice GTX 240 + X2O pump + 2*120mm 1500rpm AC fan)



my conclusion

no need to say anything, TRUE Copper beats my small water setup, costs ~ almost the same, but i think it worth every penny

[slugzkea]

Anybody test the TRUE Copper on really high volts? like 1.5+?

or compare it to the Vendetta 2?

[Oliver]

awesome ,thx for posting bro

looking forward to see some more testing of your new cpu pot

[BIKeINSTEIN]

Briilliant thread- i am loving it.
Especially the 120x76mm monsters on the side of the TRUECu- i think the latter looks a bit intimidated and scared.

[xsbb]

Wow, that thing is a beauty!!

I can't wait for the numbers to come in and see what the TRUE Copper can really do!!

[slim142]

Is there any review already?
Im really interested on Anandtech to include it in their heatsink reviews, but would like some pre-testing for now...

[Retro]

guess it will need lapping like every other true i installed

** yes im back after a long absense. that means the liver transplant went well and i can continue to poison myself with more swedish vodka

Welcome back
Yes, it would most likely benefit from a good lapping. Absolut-ly

[Andrew LB]

When my TRUEcu arrives, I'll be mounting it vertically. To solve the weight problem, what do you guys think if I used clear fishing wire to tie the heatpipe endpoints to the roof of my case?

I'd definitely figure out a way to use some steel wire or even fabricate a metal bracket that can be secured to an upper part of my case to prevent it from warping the crap out of my motherboard. Heck, i'm even worried about my standard TRUE bending my motherboard and it only weighs a fraction of this monster.

one of my fav etailers here has finally gotten it!

& I've ordered it! latest it should be here by is next week tuesday :-/

cant wait - ~2Kg of Copper

[xsbb]

Any updates ?

[Vapor]

I'll be done with the first major round of data tonight-ish....if I can graph it all quickly I'll post a new thread. Already shown a prelim graph to one person, so it's not that far fetched I suppose....the graphs are more intense than any of my fan reviews, IMO.

Tomorrow is a travel day for me, small planes though, so won't be able to work on it on a plane.

Probably up tomorrow night

Then next week I have a second round against something really cool

EDIT: Round 1 = TRUECu (unlapped, amateur lapped, mirror lapped + hi-pressure mounting) vs. TRUE (amateur lapped and mirror lapped + hi-pressure mounting + significant base removal) vs. IFX-14 (unlapped, amateur lapped, mirror lapped + hi-pressure mounting) vs. 1284EE (push-pin, hard mount, lapped + hard-mount, lapped + hi-pressure hard-mount). All done on an overheating E6700 (at TjMax quite a bit ) and a QX6700 (within a few C of TjMax on the weaker setups). Two mounts done on each config for improved data reliability. Will be showing average dT on sustained loads, peak dT during the sustained load, average dT on a short load, peak dT on a short load. Testing all setups with a P12, dual P12, S-Flex F, dual S-Flex F, Ultra Kaze 2000, dual Ultra Kaze 2000, Panaflo U1A, dual Panaflo U1A. Phew.

[tiro_uspsss]

I got mine! I GOT MINE!!

while I'm confident my TRUE-Cu will perform like any other, I am very unimpressed with its cosmetic appearance!

first up is 2-3 weird scratch like marks on the top (fin)
secondly, get this: RUST on the LGA775 hold-down bracket

pics later..

Did some testing as well, and I can tell you that there is no difference between regular TRUE- I would call it typical collectors item and this is Thermalrights point as they "stated" that this cooler will be produced in limited amount 3000pcs and definitely it wouldn't be smart to mount it vertically for 24/7 :p
In my testing Black ed. even achieved little better results, but you can probably write off it on mounting even though I run those tests twice with remounting Cu ed. and results had the same tendency! Used the same mounting for both coolers and contact were good and difference between cores were within 1-2C

You cant be serious Mine was clean & shiny like all the other TRUEs I have bought!

'fraid so

the scratch was there before I even unwrapped it from plastic

anyone got ideas on how to get rid of it?

& as for the RUST un-ing-believable
