Final words
Enzotech is very new to Indian customers like us. Specially the market is filled with low performing coolers from ASUS, Cooler Master and few other brands in the gray market. Ultra-X gives a great performance over stock coolers. India is relatively hot country and so, the stock intel cooler doesn't perform very good when we perform CPU intensive jobs like Office Server, Image Processing or extensive Gaming without a A.C. environment.
Ultra-X gives two opportunities.
First of all, for those who wants better cooling performance than the stock Intel heatsink. Just swap it with the Ultra-X, set the fan speed to low or mid. You will get a immediate drop of 10 °C without any increase in noise.
For moderate overclockers, you can easily overclock your processor and still maintain acceptable temperatures.
It turns out to be speed-noise ration that a overclocker have to decide.
The Positives:
- Good cooling performance.
- Easy to install. Perfect fitting and doesn't move a bit.
- Can be installed in any orientation if you are using big cabinet.
- Fan speed can be controlled, virtually silent upto 1800RPM.
- Good branded thermal paste included in the package.
- As its a down facing cooler, it cools the surrounding components like
northbridge, memory, PWM and maybe the back of your graphics card.The Negatives:
- Had to remove the mobo for installation.
- Noisy when the fan is at its full speed.
- Weight, 835g with the fan. Have to be careful while moving your cabby with the cooler installed.
- Not compatable with all motherboards.
- Not available in Indian market. Have to import.
