--- Appearance, Specification and Compatibility

Appearance

Four nickel-plated dual heat-pipes support a mass of aluminium fins. The fins are shaped into a sort of wave, with the one side bent upwards and the other bent down.



This shape is intended to offer a well-distributed airflow through the fins and to reduce the noise when paired with a fan.



[advert]At 745g just for the passive heat-sink assembly, the Ultra-120 is certainly a substantial hunk of metal – and hunkier still after we added that Noctua NF-S12 fan, which added about 100g. The fan is 25mm deep bringing overall dimension of the Ultra-120 to 160(h) x 132(w) x 89(d) mm.

The Ultra-120 looks the part as a serious enthusiast's cooler. Okay, out-of-the-box functionality is very basic but that leaves the user to make decisions about mounting layout and fan configurations. However, that means, of course, that the extras you might want to add are not included in the price.
