Introduction
The Gigabyte 3D Cooler-Ultra GT is the highest in the range of all the 3D Coolers available from Gigabyte. The Ultra GT version comes with all the frills and it maintains to be one of the highest spec'd 3D Cooler around. Compared with the 3D Cooler and 3D Cooler-PRO, the 3D Cooler-Ultra GT comes with a fully designed copper heatsink which further enhances its heat conductivity. Besides that, it is also equipped with an expensive Shin-Etsu thermal compound which further enhances the cooler's heat dissipating capabilities by improving the thermal conductivity at the interface between the CPU and the heatsink.
Here's a quick rundown of the various 3D Coolers offered by Gigabyte :-

As you can see in the table above, both the 3D Cooler and 3D Cooler-Ultra comes with fixed fan speeds, although the Ultra version has copper fins and is also bundled with the Shin-Etsu thermal compound. If you want the flexibility in controlling fan speeds, then either the 3D Cooler-PRO or 3D Cooler-Ultra GT should fit your requirements.
