Default anyone heard of this cpu cooler?
Tuniq - Tower 120 Cooler

it looks greatly improving over Ultra 120 extreme (non true black)


hard to believe?

i mean look at this result (this is best result that i can show for now...)

little different than what the site displays...


it cost 46.xx cdn at ncix... i think its very good value compare to U120 extreme



so do you agree... or disagree?

Tuniq is crap compared to the 120.

But gets overshadows by the newer coolers...it was good a couple years back but the TRUE took it's turf. Not worth it now.

Agree, but only if you are a hardcore OC-er and those 3-4-5°C in full-load matter.
But if you are a casual clocker and you want to keep some money in pocket then Tuniq is (still) a great option.

Agreed, while not the best it's still a good option. I've seen many people with it in their rigs. It was one of my main choices when I built my current rig. I ended up going with the TRUE though.

Yeah, I agree with most of you. The Tuniq is a great cooler but it just can't stack up to the newer and better coolers now. Just a few months ago, it was considered the 2nd best cooler out there behind the TRUE. But then came along the innovation of H.D.T...
