Hello. Just to be sure, the ultra 120 has beaten the tuniq off the top spot yes? it is the best thing to keep an e6600 cool without liquid or ice yes?

Most people would agree that the current top dawg is the Ultra 120 Extreme. Take a look at this review at Anandtech.com

Marvelous. Exactly what I needed to know. Things just move so fast I can't keep up.

From what I have read, pretty much everyone agrees that it's one hell of a good cooler. I don't know what the availability is like right now since it's a new product.

It is sold out EVERYWHERE!!!!!!

Just noticed there's only one retailer in denmark, and indeed there are 5-10 days delay. But on the other hand, the memory modules I want won't arrive till next month anyway

How much better is it than the tuniq in reallife performance ? I'm asking, because it costs 30% more than the tuniq (which is in stock)

I have an ultra 120 extreme on an e6600 overclocked to 3.4 on a current build and it idles at 30C and Load (using TAT) 48C with 25C ambient. The stock cooler at stock speeds idled at 44C and Load (using TAT) 77C.

I bought mine from heatsinkfactory but they are currently out of stock. You should email them and ask when new stock is expected. They are very helpful and a great e-vendor.

Partner it with a Scythe S-Flex 63 CFM fan as in the Anandtech report and you won't be disappointed for either noise or cooling.

I second that fan (I have one and it is silent).

Neiro: Here is a link to an Anandtech review that has stats for them together. It doesn't start to really outshine the Tuniq Tower until you compare them OC'd at 3.8Ghz or higher. My concern with the TT would be fitting it inside the case/on the motherboard. You would need to research its dimensions vs your motherboard. You could also check on the Tuniq website to see if it is specified to be compatible with your mobo.

I have been watching this topic with interest. I would like to pick up a better HSF when I go home next time. The reason I did not pick up a tuniq was that i did not know if it would fit in my case.

Sure would like to reach 3.6 GHz at reasonable temperatures and voltages.

Hey, Rugger. I am in Dhahran. Where are you at?

Jubail - only an hours drive. Amazing how small the world is...

What voltage are you running for 3.3? I'm assuming you're talking about the e6600.
