This makes the Tuniq Tower look tiny

I want one but i think it Euro only.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Yeah, that thing is one huge beast. Talk about a whole new approach to dual 120mm fans!

 

[Painman]

:Q

 

[LittleNemoNES]

Hmmm looks big but doesn't seem to have as much surface area as other coolers...
About equal to others?

Im sure it performs great, though

 

[Pens1566]

Holy crap! Can you say compatibility issues?

 

[thilanliyan]

Jeez that's huge. I wonder if it fits in an Antec P180.

 

[Pyrokinetic]

Definitely the sledgehammer approach to cooling. Not an elegant design either. Will be interesting to see how it performs against the competition. I like big heatsinks and all, but that thing is a bit much.

 

[LouPoir]

OMG

 

[aigomorla]

DUDE, even the weight of the tower alone would make me think twice b4 i strapped that in the computer. This thing, OMG, i can hear cases where the MOBO would snap due to the sheer weight of this thing.

 

[Banzai042]

At that point you may as well just go water, probably safer than risking having your mobo torn in half every time you touch your box.

I think I saw the prototype of that beast on a behind the scenes look at an 80's music video. Man, whitesnake's hair looked good being blown around by that thing.

why is weight an issue? the Tuniq Tower weights in @ 798g, only 50g less than this thing and I havent heard anything about it snapping mobos.

Heat sink only weight. Then tack on two 120mm fans... Although I'd just as soon install some fans on the side panel to blow across it. Wow.

Most processors have recommended HSF weights somewhere between 200 to 300 grams. This is so that it could be safely mounted with the standard fittings. You definitely need extra support for that gigantic absurdity...

.bh.

good point, forgot about that.

But on a related note, i read somewhere that this HSF can cool conroe passively.

 

[SparkyJJO]

Well with that you wouldn't need any extra ram cooling, it would take care of it all

 

[Canai]

WOW.... to fvcking big, and off center to boot.

Makes my Scythe Infinity looks small haha.

But still.... It'll be interesting to see how it performs.

edit: you can *see* the motherboard bending... http://img.hexus.net/v2/cooling/CMGii/6.jpg

Already did because i dont like heavy torque on my board

Glad i did because you cant get these temps on GPU and CPU on air.

 

[RallyMaster]

I wouldn't touch that with a 40 foot pole

Nice temps!!

speedfan has my proc idling at 30-31 in antec 900 case. Ambient temp in my office is around 68F. But the tuniq tower I'm using has me paranoid that I'm gonna damage my mobo lol.


Also- I bet this dual 120mm fan cooler doesn't perform as well as a cooler its size should. I gurantee that the tuniq or thermalright ultra 120 out perform it.
