Tuniq Tower 120 Cooler:
High-rise for high temperature

CPUs are hot in the literal sense. That is why a well-made heatsink with a reliable cooling fan is necessary in every desktop computer setup. And more often than, size matters in this category. In most cases, the bigger the heatsink and the larger the fan, the better the cooling it provides a red-hot chip.

The Tuniq Tower 120 CPU cooler is one example of a really big CPU heatsink and fan (HSF). This HSF has a unique 9 blade 120mm fan that spins up to 2000rpm with a 34db low-noise operation. Even at a lower 1000rpm, where fan noise goes down up to 20db, the Tuniq Tower gives perfect cooling to the large aluminum fins. The integrated three copper heatpipes add superb heat dissipation. A front-panel fan controller is also included in the package for easy adjustment of the fan speed.

The Tuniq Tower 120 is compatible with most desktop computer cases as well as most motherboards available in the market (the heatsink tower height is 15.5cm, while its weight comes at 798g).      Specially designed clips make the high-rise cooler compatible with a variety of CPUs from AMD (K8 and AM2) and Intel (S478 and LGA775) with speed of up to 3.6GHz.

So, don’t let heat slow down your computer. A good HSF, like the Tuniq Tower 120, is best inside a hot CPU environment.
