Thermalright Ultra-120 - AM2 Compatible?

arty · 25 Jun 2006 at 14:49

Does anyone know if the Thermalright Ultra-120 heatsink currently being sold at OcUK is Socket AM2 compatible? I'm in the market for a new, decent AM2 heatsink but there seems to be a lack of them. It's either that or the Zalman, and I'd prefer the option to use my own 120mm fan as with the Ultra-120

Any info gratefully received!

Small bump as I've still not managed to find a definitive answer and could do with knowing tonight. Any high-performance alternatives for AM2 will also be considered

Ultra-120 is designed to fit most of AMD socket AM2 motherboards. If you find any that is not compatible, we would appreciate if you could report them to here.

Thermalright said:
** For AM2 platform, a special custom retention bracket for Ultra-120 will be made available in July.

So no until the retention bracket comes out...

You can always go for the new Zalman, it looks so nice, Grey and Green theme - very Nividia~

Funnily enough, it also says

For those who have the newest AMD platform, AM2, Thermalright will have you covered come end of June, 2006. It will have its customized retention bracket for mounting Ultra-120 on an AM2 socket.

As it's now the end of June, I thought I'd see if anyone here had the Ultra-120 and could tell me whether it came with this new bracket yet

Thanks for the replies. I'll probably hold of getting it until I know for certain that it'll come with the bracket.

Id see if any US shops like Newegg have it in first (or offical UK distributors for Thermalright), gonna be a week or 2 delay before it hits these shores probably...

Unsure if its an added extra or comes with the cooler - probably the former...
