What to buy at the same price? Tuniq Tower 120 LFB or Noctua NH-U12F ???

[crespo80]

I have the opportunity to buy one of these hetsinks, at 50€ shipped each (I'm in Italy).
Which is the best of two with their stock fans? I have an Asus P5k and an Intel E2160 I want to heavily overclock.
And if I might want to upgrade the stock fan whith a more powerful one (regardless of noise), which of them is more efficient with the increased air flow?
I could not find any helpful comparison on-line
Thanks in advance

Nice review, where the Tuniq is considered better than the Noctua but, not the best of all ;)

[crespo80]

I had missed it, thanks, but results seem a little strange!
I thought Tuniq tower and noctua nh-12 were close and this review states the tuniq is better by a large amount (10° in full load), but more weird is the fact that the noctua is only 4° under intel stock cooler, when all other review say it is at least 20° under!!!
I'm a bit confused

I agree with you, when you say the results are a bit "ambiguous". :confused:

It´s a review and the results must be carefully analysed and compared with others at our disposal.

I dont have any of these coolers, but if you ask for my opinion, i will recommend the Tuniq Tower,

as long you have the space and the patience to mount it.

I'll take in account your opinion, I am oriented to the Tuniq, and I think I'll buy it, tthey are both excellent heatsinks, but i have a weakness for the massive ones :p:

tuniq tower wont let you down .
i used to have one and they cool pretty good.
not like the TRUE but still good.

Just curious, is the Thermalright Ultra-120 X available there for a similar price?
That would be a better heatsink than the Tuniq or Noctua and you have many options for fans:cool:
And it is massive:D

Gotta agree, go with the TRUE if you can, unless you are getting the Tuniq for a really good deal.
