Tuniq Tower 120 OR . . . ?

[kyle2020]

Im looking at a tuniq tower 120 to replace my AC, however i thought id ask on here to see if anyone else has any other suggestions as to a decent CPU cooler.

DO NOT RECOMMEND THE XIGMATEK! its damn fugly haha.

Cheers! The flashy-er the better!

The TRUE 120 is the best I think and flashiest

Damn expensive though in the UK

Like I always say, anything with "direct touch" layout where heatpipes come into contact with CPU IHS directly is a winner. I personally use OCZ Vendetta 2, but you probably won't like that one since it kind of looks like Xigmatek S1283.

I had a scythe ninja and hated it. It wasnt even that amazing at cooling tbh.

With a tuniq, would i notice much of a temperature difference over my freezer? im idling at about 30 - 34 degrees, and at load mid 60's?
