thanks for the heads up. Ordered the ultra 120 last night from svc. Just called to change my order.

 

[Shimmishim]

thanks guys.

updated with SVC link.

links to reviews would be appreciated as well! 🙂

 

[bloodugly]

That thing looks like it'd be great if you lapped it. A lapping kit costs like....five bucks, If I recall correctly.

How is the tuniq tower at passive cooling? Better/worse than the scythe ninja?

 

[RallyMaster]

Worse than Scythe Ninja. Check the madshrimps article. They compared those two side by side. Ninja has more spaced out aluminum fins and therefore dissipates heat better. For fins that are close together, it's better to use a fan.

That's good to know. I was thinking of doing a passive heatsink

Installing this thing was a bear. I basically couldn't do it using the springs with the screws. Remove the springs and I was able to get it screwed down. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[Shimmishim]

what socket? 775? 939? 478?

 

[JoeyM]

Socket 939. You remove the standard MB HS retainer and screw a metal clip-that sits on the contact copper slab-into the MB.

Most of those places are now OOS. Please update as they come 🙂

 

[Phelanor]

You can find a few on EBay. They cost a little more than in a standard store, but I call that an I want it now tax.

 

[Shimmishim]

thanks. all places updated with new prices.

all are currently out of stock as well.

 

[Eska]

this hsf is so hard to find

 

[bushdiverq]

Epowerhousepc.com has them for 54.99

 

[Shimmishim]

thanks! thread updated

It's a royal pain in the ass to install, but keeps my cpu @ stock rather frigid (I've been too busy to o/c). It's fairly loud, though, even at very low fan settings.

 

[ThePhantom]

i installed one on a aw9d-max and it was no problem at all!

the bottom of the tuniq will come VERY VERY close to touching the NB heatsink but has just enough clearance.

This is in stock at SVC folks as of 12/8/2006..
