ccokeman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Just in case anyone is considering upgrading your cpu cooling you may want to give the Tuniq Tower a try. Yes its big, Yes you have to remove the motherboard to install it but it is so worth it. My load temps with my Big Typhoon and Silverstone FM121 fan would be in the neighboorhood of 55 to 58c in my nice warm room. Now i have 42c with dual folding running with no change in ambient temps. I did install the same silverstone fan on the Tuniq tower so the comparison was valid between the two heatsinks. I'm impressed and decided to share the joy!!

romeo55 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I already ordered the Si-128 Let's see how this does... I'll probably end up getting the Tuniq Tower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verran Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 13c under stock cooling is one thing, but 13c under a Big Typhoon is VERY impressive! Congrats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) Im kicking myself right now (well after I type I will be), I saw that beast at radioshack just a few days ago. I should have picked it up! You peaked my interest and reviews on Google look really good. Edited December 31, 2006 by SMeeD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaveli Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 How much does the Tuniq Tower run? I was looking at Artic Freezer 7 Pro but depending on price I could be swayed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I think it was 54.95 US. Same as my Big Typhoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 if radioshack does sell the tower the that will prove my point of even a radio shack heatsink is better than anything TT can put on the market but congrats on the temp drop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMeeD Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) if radioshack does sell the tower the that will prove my point of even a radio shack heatsink is better than anything TT can put on the market but congrats on the temp drop I was mistaken, I think the Big Typhoon is what I saw. I was consumed by its size but didnt take too close of a look. IMO they look similar from an angle but I still feel dumb for missing the name. So it looks like a radio shack heatsink isnt better than TT. Now that I think about it, it had to be BT because that whole shelf of the store was TT products. The Tuniq Tower makes my XP-90 feel like its the stock cooler :| Edited December 31, 2006 by SMeeD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 The one you saw at radio shack was the TT Big Typhoon. They just started carrying the TT line there. I was amazed to see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
