Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme: A worthy contender?

douglatins · Sep 9, 2009

Just found this cooler and remember the days when tuniq ruled the HSF world, now is this one comparable to TRUE and Mega?

It looks great too

review in link above thanks to pantherx12

Noctua NH-U12P (NF-P12 fan) Idle 25 Load 45
CM V8 (Stock fan) Idle 25 Load 46
CM V10 (Stock fan) Idle 24 Load 39
Tuniq Extreme 120 (Stock fan min rpm) Idle 24 Load 40
Tuniq Extreme 120 (Stock fan medium rpm) Idle 24 Load 36
Tuniq Extreme 120 (Stock fan max rpm) Idle 23.5 Load 34

This is from the xtreme forum topic below, im thinking holy shit, i want to see it compared to a Mega with a 2K fan ASAP!

I don't think anybody knows yet unless there are reviews out already.

Edit: It looks like a massive HDT cooler.

LittleLizard · Sep 9, 2009

Actually i indented to buy a megashadow, but 5 HDT should be a nice setup

Tuniq has always been a competitor in my book. They had some great early quality equipment, but the one you mentioned looks great. I'd venture to say this is on par with the Coolermaster V8 or Hyper600.

But the V8 lags behind quite a bit from TRUE

OMG it owns a V10

goldfries · Sep 9, 2009

i just got my unit yesterday, i haven't open it for photoshoot.

i just hope it'll work with my i5 setup (if not, back to LGA775 unit).......... gonna install them once i collect the hard disk and motherboard today, I'll probably start to setup the rig Friday or weekend.

It would be nice some comparisons

Kain XS on XtremeSystems is working on a review, but from what he's leaked so far it beats the V10 by a few degrees.

Here it is!

Anath · Sep 11, 2009

Just bought one today, should have my i7 system up by next week...i will personally let you know how mine performs

pantherx12 · Sep 11, 2009

Will be buying one ( eventually) for my next rig, probably X-mas time!

Anath · Sep 11, 2009

i have the original 120 and so i am pretty partial to tuniq...i was looking for a new cooler and this one is both sexy and a great performer. im very excite

trt740 · Sep 11, 2009

it won't be a contender, it will be good but not that good wait and see.

facepunch · Sep 11, 2009

facepunch · Sep 16, 2009

Anath · Sep 16, 2009

yea i saw that one i wish they would include more coolers...

douglatins · Sep 16, 2009

Well i´ve got ahead and purchased a Megashadow, though i dont like the Tuniq barely matching the zalman, that cooler isnt that great.

pantherx12 · Sep 16, 2009

I'm going to wait for frostytech to review it.

Or TPU obviously.

nearly bought it a minute ago but then decided I should measure my case first ha ha

I dont like frostytech, the reviewd the TRUE better than the TRUEX.

pantherx12 · Sep 16, 2009

What is a true x?

I can't find it on their site.

facepunch · Sep 16, 2009

got it set up so far lowest idle is 33 highest load is 53 with my amd 965 i could only get to 3.9ghz i could post to 4.0ghz but when i try prime 95 it blue screens at 42.c :cry:

but so far im really happy with this cooler i think i could get the temps down alot more if i get a bigger fan that could move more air even at max you could barely hear the fan and if your using a amd motherboard i could only use 2 of my corsair dominator in slot 3&4 on my croshair lll it covers my first 2 ram slots if your running low profile you might be ok with 4 but dont quote me on that i dont have low profile ram to try
