Testing and Results

• ASUS A8N-SLI Premium

• ASUS N6600GT

• AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (socket 939)

• 2GB Corsair DDR

   During the tests I ran 2 programs separately: Prime95 and BurnInTest ver4.0. Each test ran for 1 hour with a 30 minute break in between tests. The results for these tests were very similar, and are displayed below:

Conclusion

   The Tuniq Tower 120 is a beast of a cooler. With the midship mounted fan the cooler looks to be fanless, unless you throw in a LED fan, then I think it will give it a very unique look.

   Speaking of unique, the design shape of the fins offer more surface area versus a cooler with straight sides.

   One thing I wasn't pleased with was the bottom of the copper plate; it was a bit rough to the touch. If I were a betting man, I'd say if you lapped the copper base plate you may be able to drop 1 or 2 degrees Celsius.

   For the people who have cases with side mounted fans over your CPU, you may have a problem getting the CPU cooler to fit since this unit is so tall. If your side mount fan is removable, I say go for it. 

   So overall the Tuniq Tower 120 was a very well thought out and designed unit. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a fan based CPU cooler as it performs well and is rock solid.

Pros:

• Unique design

• Midship fan placement (almost looks fanless)

• 120mm fan

• Fan is interchangeable

Cons:

• Weight

• Tricky P4 installation

• Thermal grease difficult to spread
