Yeah I had a tough time picking between the two, but I chose the Thermalright over the Tuniq because I've heard of lotsa ppl complaining about the finnicky screws to mount the Tuniq on the CPU, and the 120-Extreme did a bit better in the anandtech review (although different fan so who knows...

Hey all, I'm just about to place an order for the following: -Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 -DFI Infinity P965-S -Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB 2X1GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL4-4-4-12 -Antec P182 case -BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 550MHZ 640MB -Thermalright ULTRA-120 Extreme 6 Heatpipe Cooler...

Only problem with those is that they are CAS5 I believe. Isn't CAS4 supposed to be much better timings?

Bump...just to get more information about the RAM. Anyone have any experience with the Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220144 I read somewhere that they're not using D9s for them anymore? Anyone else have any other RAM...

Thanks everyone for all your answers/suggestions. I really appreciate it! You guys from the US are lucky as things always seem to be so much cheaper there than here. Like the G.skill RAM which Phantomaniac recommended are only 160 at newegg, but in Canada at ncix.com (where things are...

Thanks for the info. So if I'm putting just 1 GeForce 8800GTS in on a DFI 965 board in an Antec P182, the regular HR-05 is what I wanna go for then? Thanks.

Solofly, where did you order yours from? I usually get stuff from ncix but they don't have any instock, and I'm looking for the Ultra-120 Extreme or the IFX-14 somewhere...anywhere, in Canada! Thanks.

Pretty much as the topic says, what's the difference between the two coolers? Basically what I want to do is replace the NB cooler on the DFI 965 board (if I can ever find one in Canada!) with one of those, and I'm not sure which one I should use :) I'm never going to go SLI w/ video cards, if...

Hi and thanks for reading this! I'm going to be building a new system asap and I'm really stuck on what kind of RAM to purchase for it. Here are the specs of what I'm looking to get: Core 2 Duo E6600 DFI Infinity P965-S (please come in stock soon!) 2 gigs of ram of some kind (but what?)...

VinDSL. I probably wasn't specific enough in my original post, and a little exaggerated when I said "replacement for the TT". What I meant was that the performances are very similar, however the Ultra 120 is actually available in stores (I can't find the TT anywhere in stock here in Canada!) and...

Just let me clarify on my post...I didn't mean that anandtech was the first to do a review of the Ultra 120, I've seen most of the other reviews, but just that the anandtech was the first review I've seen that directly compares both heatsinks under similar conditions (specs, setups, etc) in an...

Finally anandtech did a review of this wonderful heatsink confirming what many have been wondering about. It is just as good, if not better than the Tuniq Tower in every case, however what they don't explicitly say about it I think puts it over the top. I've been reading everywhere that the...
