Tuniq Tower UK sales

[Concorde Rules]

Any ideas to where I can buy a Tuniq Tower?

Want one to cool a E6600 in september, I've got a month to get one I just need places where I can get them as I know they are in short supply atm.

So any ideas? :)

Thanks Conc :)

[goreblast]

KustomPCs have them.

[goreblast]

Although the base on the one I got was badly finished spent a hour this afternoon lapping it to a nice shine.

[Pyr0]

out of stock :(

[Moonraker™]

Concorde, check your PM's :)

[Concorde Rules]

Thx Moonracker, but thats ok :)

Im not in a rush for one as my Xp-120 will do until I can get my hands on one :)

KustomPCs will be getting some in this week as i pre ordered mine from them,got a email saying there coming in.

[zakelwe]

I used to have a BT but I spent a while getting the thing to fit my DFI motherboard so this time I decided on a nice Scythe Ninja or Infinity but at the last minute looked at the Tuniq tower 120 attachment and it is everything the BT was not. Spring loaded screws are excellent to make sure the sucker is at the right tightness.

The design and finish of the Scythe looks better but you cannot argue with the results of the Tuniq .. bit of wet and dry and the bottom should be ok.

No cpu to put it on yet .. nor motherboard , RAM or power supply. I am missing a hard drive as well. Keyboard and mouse and CD-ROM is not a problem though :D At least when conroe finally arrives it'll have something nice sitting on it's head.

ive been looking for a tuniq and i cant find them even in the US.

[Rickster_64]

Ordered one yesterday from NCIX.com. They are Canadian, but I should at least get one! I have beenusing my new gaming laptop a lot so the desktop being out of commish until the new Tuniq arrives isn't a big deal. I got an X2 4400+ decapped waiting for it. Hits 2800 dual prime @ 1.65V

[Shift]

The Tuniqe seems no where to be found on U.S. soil. Checked the only places that have them; Xoxide, FrozenCPU, and Performance-PCs have them all out of stock:(

[Moonraker™]

Highly doubtful. They had a batch last week which went in 2 days, so me thinks that was only a couple maybe less than 100.

I had 2 from Japan. 1 spare.

Some guy from the US brought it off me on this forum (he may not wish to be named!)... he was anxious to get it, so indeed... It seems they are Ãœber scarce in the US.

[kempez815]

I am in contact with a company who have been asked if they want to be the UK disty...only if we get enough people who want one...

They also ship abroad

All who want one please post.

I'll take one if the price is decent.:)

[kempez815]

It should be if I can prove that we have enough people willing to get them in.

[lawrywild]

I'm still waiting for delivery of mine... coming from Germany..

there's a guy on ebay selling them shipped to UK. You need to change the location to europe or worldwide before his auction will show.

[Pyr0]

in stock at Kustom PC's now :banana:
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2604.html
just ordered mine :)

[couppi]

Looks like Kustom PC's ships worldwide... too bad the total would be 50 pounds, or $95.

I hate the weak dollar. I remember when 1 pound=like $1.4 or something.

Told ya i had mine on pre order for about a week now,good old Kustompcs :)
Cant wait to get it.

[adfinni]

Kustompcs are the best online company out there. My order will hopefully be here tomorrow along with my new PC7+.

:banana: :woot: :banana: :woot:

[leejsmith]

got mine this morning just running some test at work againts a ninja cooler.
so far with a E6600 at stock and under dual prime 95 it's 4C cooler than the ninja using the same fan but it should improve a little after the as5 has had time to cure.

[clone38]

Woot just got mine 5mins ago,need more beer time so i`ll do it tomorrow :P

[leejsmith]

i think the base needs a good lapping you can feel the ridges not very flat at all.

[TheMeatFrog]

It's a shame these haven't made it back to the states yet. :(

[zakelwe]

It came really well packed and everything very well organized .. good work by the manufacturer. The base is ridged but a few minutes with wet and dry will give a nice multidirectional non ridged lightly scratched surface which will accept the thermal paste well. I am not a great believer in perfect mirror finishes as you have nowhere for the paste to go to reduce the overall thickness of paste ( if you see what I mean ).

Compared to the Big Tornado initial impressions are very favourable.

I'm thinking of ordering this from kustom aswell. Can someone post pics of the base and the actual heatsink please. Thanks :)

Don't say that, I'm loving it. I've been buying half priced stuff from the US for months! :D.

if no one does it before me i will take some pics after work.

[lawrywild]

This is so annoying..

The german shop I ordered from said they had stock (ebay) and I emailed them (using freetranslation.com :p: ) and they said something about the supplier not supplying the heatsinks. So it's been 15 days and hasn't been posted FFS. Now I need to try and tell them in German to give me a refund so I can buy it from Kustompcs...

ARGH, also Kustompcs has the lian li pc7 se+ that I want to buy...

[Rickster_64]

Has anyone mounted one of these on a bare X2 core? i am wondering if the preset spring tension would still be usable to mount to the die alone. I suppose I can AS5 and remount my cap, but I would rather straight surface mount to the bottom of a lapped tower 120 if possible.

[leejsmith]

if no one does it before me i will take some pics after work.

first all the parts

http://www.ljsnet.co.uk/tuniq/all.jpg

then the cooler it self

the base needs a good lapping. The finish of the ninja base is very good compared to the tuniq.

[Rickster_64]

did you guys order them from Kustompc's?

[leejsmith]

yes

[Revv23]

anyone feel like group buying into america?

[WesM63]

Yea no crap lol, i want one badly.

[Moonraker™]

You know, if you email Graeme from KPCs, he's a cool guy. You guys should ask him to send a batch over. He'll reply anyways. Dunno what the answer will be.

But watch it! - They're running low!

[Revv23]

Yeah that would be cool, anyone interested? If we could get a number, like 10 or something we might be able to get the shipping down to something reasonable.

[WesM63]

revv,
I'd be in.

[XenatR]

just ordered mine this morning YAY :D

is the thermal paste they supply with it better than AS5 or Ceramique? or should i use the supplied one

[Moonraker™]

Yeah that would be cool, anyone interested? If we could get a number, like 10 or something we might be able to get the shipping down to something reasonable.

If you brought 10 yourself, you'd sell them easy. Only bad thing is that we have to pay stupid VAT which is extortionate, then P&P over to you guys is gonna be stupidly expensive.

If only it was as cheap as things coming in the other direction.

I swear, if a vendor in the US shipped to the UK. 1) They'd be rich 2) UK places would probably go out of business!

[QUOTE]

Unfortunatly i dont have the funds to outright buy 10 of them.

We've got two people, the ball is rolling lol.

I emailed newegg about stocking them ill let you guys know if they reply.

[smids]

I'm pretty sure you guys can claim VAT back form our government because you are outside the European Union - though don't quote me on that.

[XenatR]

"I'm sorry to say, we have run out of stock of the Tuniq Coolers. Would
you be willing to wait for new stock arriving, or would you prefer a
refund?"

BASTARDS

[Revv23]

looks like that idea is out the window.

[clone38]

Stock light is still green on Kustompcs.

[XenatR]

yea.. thats why i bloody ordered one

SIGH @ THEM

[Supertim0r]

Heres mine fitted in my P180

Just waiting on my videocard arriving:toast:

[zakelwe]

I tested my Tuniq tower yesterday with a 70w Pelter and my 200cfm Papst 6212nm fan. In the past when I have tried to air cool the Peltier the inefficient nature of air cooling would mean that it would cool down and then heat soak would mean temps would rise.

The Tuniq actually managed to keep the Peltier 5C down under ambient which is not bad going at all and shows how heatsinks have come on over the years with more surface area and heatpipes. However of course there is no cpu involved with my test, I do not fancy it's chances with 70w plus 50-100w as well, never mind a "proper" 200+w Peltier. To me Peltiers are only good with chilled water cooling and if you have that then why bother ?

But the Tuniq did the business.. now I just need a Conroe to stick it on. I have the feeling it's going to do pretty well.

Regards

Andy

[Death^Dread]

peltier+liquid nitrogen anyone?
let's drop it another handful of degrees below zero. ROFL!

now I just need a Conroe to stick it on.
isn't that really the problem for many of us though? ;)
i'm wondering if the e6300 will hit $150 anytime soon lol

[Vengure]

I spoke with Paul from Sunbeam they'll be in the states on the 15th of september . An Aussie reseller is claiming to get new stock on the 8th or 9th but to me isnt worth the hassle of international shipping and jsut wait for the new US shipment. Plus I see from mounting pics the tuniq is mounted horizontally I'd liek to mount it vertically so it would benefit from my case fans.

[etherealrhythm]

Yeah, as it stands i think its kinda silly. Alot of air is getting re-circulated that could possibly just be blown right out of the rear exhaust fan. But a few questions...

*When i get mine soon how would everyone suggest facing the fan, pushing downwards or upwards? How is everyone facing theirs?

*Has anyone swapped out the stock fan for something different/better? How does the stock fan perform/sound?

Cheers.

[Pyr0]

i have my Tuniq facing upwards, so the fan blows the air towards my rear case fan

the stock fan performs quite well, not much in the way of vibrations or whiny motor noise, i only really notice the sound of the air blowing thru the fins

[etherealrhythm]

And is there anyone that can answer Rickster's question? Im curious about this myself, with being about to buy an X2 and after hearing all the stories of poor IHS contact and resulting limitation of the one core.

Thanks.

[Timmay]

Looks like theres gonna be stock in New Zealand early next month:banana: :banana:

[adfinni]

Well the UK shortage will be fixed soon as OcuK should be getting them in asap :woot:

Now start spending, and pushing your cpu's to their limits :D

[NO1B4ME]

Where can we get one in the states. i want one too :( .

[Shift]

I'm wondering when the Tuniq will arrive on U.S. shores.
I would join the group buy and get a Tuniq.

[Timmay]

The delivery for New Zealand is sitting on the docks in China... So you may find that There is one for the US also.

[etherealrhythm]

Calling all UK Tuniq lovers - expect stock in the UK in two weeks time! (ocuk)

[Jimbo]

I am looking for something better than my Arctic freezer 7 pro, at the mo im about 60c load on it. Will a Tunic tower be better? and quiet?

[Revv23]

Yes and Yes.

Tuniq is the best air cooler out there... fan isnt quiet at full speed but it is at lower rpm's and still cools quite well.

[Jimbo]

I'll probally go for one of these then, I was gonna get that new Titan amanda but some say its not worth it over the Tunic. Why do ocuk allways charge more though the gits.

[kempez815]

I heard on the Grapevine that the Tuniq Tower 120 is EOL :eek:

[Jimbo]

What does EOL mean?

[smids]

End of Life.

[deeznuts]

I spoke with Paul from Sunbeam they'll be in the states on the 15th of september . .

I hope you are right cuz I'ma be surfing the usual sites on Friday!

[Shift]

I hope you are right cuz I'ma be surfing the usual sites on Friday!

Yea seriously me to. I was about to jump on the Scythe Infinity deal on Newegg, but the Tuniq Tower is just way better.

Can someone name me a few sites where you can get a Tuniq in the states.. I only know that Performance PC, and Frozen CPU sells them.

[gregog]

"Paul from Sunbeam"'s auto email reply now says Sept 30th for the US.

[etherealrhythm]

Disaster - ocuk isn't expecting stock now until early October. I wont be able to get one :(.

[deeznuts]

"Paul from Sunbeam"'s auto email reply now says Sept 30th for the US.

Aw screw it. I'ma get an Ultra-120. This is just too much lol.

[Shift]

OMFG Sept.30, jeez. If Sunbeam sold the Tuniq here, they would make so much money that they wouldn't have to sell anywhere else. I'm seriously hoping it will arrive on the 15th, b/c if it doesn't I'm taking the Infinity route. Waited months for this damn cooler.
