I am also looking to buy and replace the TR Ultima 90 . How much did it cost you ?
Shripad said:Well I couldnt resist. I installed it on the test rig
And honestly so far, I am forced to wonder how the hell people review heatsinks. If HDT 1284 was suppose to be pathetic and CCF to be better than TRUE, I am not seeing it. This is giving me same and at times even marginally higher temps than my custom tweaked HDT 1284 :|
Testing with same Xigmatek fan that came with Achilles HDT cooler. Not impressed so far :|
Maybe your eyes are shot or you got a lemon. Has the "burn-in" for the thermal paste completed? What were the ambient temps when checking with the 1284?Shripad said:And honestly so far, I am forced to wonder how the hell people review heatsinks.

Shripad said:I just bent the legs of the HDT slightly up. This ensures that the the pressure with which the heatsink is held in its place is high enough.
I am gonna reset the CCF after lunch. Will report back. Its touching 74C in prime small FFT with CPU @ 4Ghz
1284 reaches 72-73. TRUE does 74-75.
Room temp maintained using A/C constant at 26C so thats not an issue.
I also ran into some issues while setting this cooler up.
The heatsink clip prevents me from mounting this cooler with fan blowing towards the back case fan. The clip hits the northbridge heatsink of Gigabyte X48 and BO both. So I had to install this with fan blowing up. Will post pics soon. This way also the clip comes right above the RAM slot. Swapping memory from 1st slot is PITA like this. Also if your RAM has ramsink, the fan clips hit the RAM module.
@ Bunnyboi : MX2 cough cough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too many small quirks with my test setup. Pics coming soon.....
