Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme CPU Cooler Review

Final Thoughts

While all the coolers perform admirably, with the exception of the stock cooler, the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme CPU Cooler comes out on top. This is ultimate evidence that the Core Contact heat pipe base is doing its job. In fact, it’s doing a very good job. That’s because the heat pipes literally sit right down top of the CPU, transferring heat away directly from the CPU into the large fins where they can be properly dealt with. The N620’s heat pipes pass through its base instead revealing to be the weaker of the thermal beasts.

We’re hoping that both the small issues we noted in our installation notes are limited or have already been corrected in later production units. Again, these are small enough issues that we adapted to easily. Tuniq is a pretty resourceful group so it wouldn’t surprise me to see a modification of some fashion made. If these little issues are corrected immediately and I see them properly implemented in another cooler down the road, I would have no reservations giving it my Editor’s Choice, providing that it still gave the killer performance that this cooler does.

Simply put, the Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme CPU Cooler kicks thermal a$$, literally. If you don’t like the blue LED effect, grab the standard Tower 120 model for about $49.99. Otherwise, the T-120-LFB’s blue LED fan looks quite nice and isn’t too bright at $54.99. The cooler’s all black facade and LED create a really clean, slick contrast. If CPU temps have you fired up, the Tuniq Tower 120 series will cool you and your CPU off very nicely.
