Default Tuniq Tower 120

I've heard good things about this cooler, and it's rarity.

Well, www.overclockers.co.uk will be getting some stock in October and will be selling at around £41.

Is it worth this money? Better than the BT?

Isn't £41 a lot? How much does stuff cost over there? Yeah, I would not pay $77 for an air cooler, even if it is the best one.

Alternatively, you can get the BT and put in a higher CFM fan and get the same cooling results.

Max 60 bucks on an air cooler, anything else is insane. It is the best air cooler out there, but not 80 bucks good. Save 35 bucks and get a typhoon. Lap it, better fan, and you outdo the TT

Off topic:

You Yanks and Canadians do realise that you cant just convert GBP into USD and go jesus thats expensive.

Thats like us going blimey m8 buy it from USA and we only spending 20quid.

Economy + Strength of currency guys...

Anyways back on topic:


45Quid is a bit much for an air cooler but its gonna do the job do it well and its cheaper than a WC setup.

The 3 to go for are...

Arctic Freezer 7
Thermaltake BT
Tuniq Tower 120

No paticular order there but those 3 are the best to get... Just depends on how much you want to spend.

There within a few degrees of each other in performance... So anyone is a winner.

What really helps the Tuniq Tower is the large surface area it has.....although I like my heatsink as I can add 2 fans to it instead of just the one like the Tower....although it is doing an awesome job with just one right now.
