    looking to buy another heatink

    these are what I'm considering(feel free to recomend anything else, but as of right now I'm pissed with the infinity/mugen)
    TR ultima 90
    Tuniq Tower

    according to the anand review, both are on par, and I'm attracted to the ultima 90 due to the push-pull possibilities and reduced size

    any intake before I take the plunge

    and before anyone say TRu120e, those cost 50% more, are out of stock everywhere and benching means almost nothing to me.

    TRUe is $60ish vs. the others for $45ish so go figure
    not quite 50% but close enough

    25%...

    Oops..did my math wrong. It's 33%

    Anyway, I prefer the Tuniq of those two but either of them going to be fine and if you're wanting a smaller size then go for the Ultima.

    60 = 150% * 40 and that's where I got my math from.

    at the end of the day I'm cheap and for it's use it doesn't need to be extreme

    itll be a 60 dollars well spent, however

    anyways, get an ultima 90

    i read in a few reviews it performs about same as tuniq, maybe 1C higher, but its freaking tiny and convenient

    started looking around and found some TRU120s for $45(not extreme), I'm willing to spend $2-5 more as that's generally worth it seeing as it's around the same cost but with moderately better temps, but the extreme ehh not so much...

    just asked my mother(I need to get a credit card, at this point I'm basically paying cash up front to someone so I can use their card) to order the TRultra120HSF for me, so wish me luck

    thank you all so much for your time. Had been leaning towards the ultra-90 myself for the size, but when i can find 120 for the 90s price well...

    hope you have not ordered yet because iread the ultima 90 outperforms the ultra120 (nonextreme) because of extra heatpipes

    If I would choose between tuniq or Ultima, I would get the ultima, it is somewhat or slightly better and it is smaller lol and weight way less and looks better then a Tinuq, but I would still choose the TRUE 120 anytime over the 2 mentioned, the price difference isnt that big like u said 50%, come on lol

    TRUE120 is like 60ish and ultima 90 is like 41ish
    $42*1.5 =$63
    that's close enough to 50% for me...

    regardless I went with the ultima 90.
