Default Ultima 90 vs Tuniq 120

Review from anandtech is contradicting. review said that Ultima matches or outperforms Tuniq 120 but clearlly the full-load chart from the review shows that Tuniq beats Ultima 90
Is there any marketing involved in this site review?

There was another guy who did a review "Ultima 90 vs Tuniq" months ago and he claimed that Ultima 90 beats Tuniq by 5 degree. why there are so many false/contradict claim? or it is just hype?

talking about performance price ratio:
Ultima: $45 + $20 (Flex fan)=$65
Tuniq:$45

you decide which one has better performance/price

Trust no one (insofar as advertising).

Use scientific theory and product quality.
  • Mass
  • Surface area
  • Soldered joints
  • Fan size and cfm
  • case intake and venting.

Thermodynamics is a science that lies outside of human bias'.

Don't let the advertisers fleece you...

I love my Tuniq Tower 120, it dropped 7-10 cel from my zalman 9500 (which isn't a bad cooler and is handling my Brisbane x2 3600 @ 2612 mhz easily)

Both those coolers performed practically the same in proper benchmarking. Honestly go with what ever fits in your price range. The Tuniq is proven true but the Ultima is New and untested.

The tuniq isi not better than the Ultima, theyare equal in performance. The tuniq is much larger, heavier and noisier. So there is no doubt what I'll be getting.

All in all, they're about equal, but the tuniq's heavier and quite a bit taller.

As I'm kinda height-limited in my case, I have to go with the Ultima or a bottom-facer when I upgrade.
