A Stock Tuniq Tower, maybe with a lapped base, OR a scythe infinity with this mod and two Noctua 1200rpm fans (push/pull config). Can the tuniq really beat that? I know you would really have to test that but what does your gut tell you? lol

both are good setups, just different, at the noise levels of 2x120's i think the scythe will probably give you better performance. But the adjustable fan on the tuniq will probably give you colder temps with the fan at max speed.
but we are talking small differences here, what difference is 1 or 2c going to make? just go with whatever is cheaper/ more appealing.
Infinity probably edge it out... http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3218 and http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=3211
no Tuniq here to compare though

Just found this thing..

interesting don't seem to see where they mention what case they used for in case temps ? 18C ambient temps for setups was used though...

heres a quick diagram of my mod if I end up getting the infinity!
tell me what you guys think?

tuniq tower cooling a Core 2 Duo chip seems more appealing to me.

Go with a Tuniq,if you can find it...I am searching day and night for it..but Shipping from U$ to Bulgaria would cost...U$D 107...
isnt the fan loud at full speed?Originally Posted by Fixt00l

They say it is annoying,but it makes about 48,8 dBa,and my old Gigabyte 3D cooler was making about 60,and I was still able to work.
In that case the Infinity have gone the other way
The fan is spinning at 1128rpmand makes nearly no sound
IT cools an Amd Opteron 165 at 2,7ghz and the heatsink isent even warm
I love this Cooler
How much difference in temps would you get having 2 120mm's on each side of that infinity?
well a test was done at x-bit labs and two 1200rpm fans did better than one 2000rpm fan.
edit:
it beats all the coolers in that test (open case) so with the pressure mount mod, I would expect it to be about 5c better than that test?

Not more than 4C,I suppose.
yes, 4c isnt that much, but when you take into consideration that 2 1200mm fans equals about 24dba (two scythe s-flex 1200rpm) thats way less the the average 33-36dbz that is made by one 2000rpm fan.

How about 2 such fans on the Tiniq,then
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=126514
Soon to be :
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, Intel SB i7-2600k, G.Skill Rj-X F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH, MSI HD6950 2GB, Corsair 750AX, Intel 80GB G2 SSD, DELL U2410
Used to be: SaFrOuT
Forgive the n00b question...How about 2 such fans on the Tiniq,then
How would that work with only 2 flat sides on the Tuniq and it's orientation on the board?
and why not swap out the Tuniq fan for a <30db fan?
I've been trying to decide between the Infinity with mods vs. Tuniq for my sig build...Any thoughts?

I <3 a quiet pc so I went with the infinity with mods. It took a lot of work to finally get improvments over the stock performance if the cooler, but in the end, I have tuniq temps and a silent pc. After trying this out, I wouldnt say it beats the tuniq, but if the tuniq were turned down to the same noise level as my cooler, it would lose.
