Tuniq tower offers best value for money, the True 120 Extreme been very good.

The Thermalright IFX is normally overlooked, good cooler.

Tuniq tower is awesome compared to other coolers I have used, price helps also.

Noctua NH-U12P is a very decent candidate - nicely-machined base for the win.

+1

Im currently using this cooler as well and it easily rivals any of the others, great cooling; it keeps my q6600 g0 @ 3.6 ~60o, which imo is quite good

Value for money then the Noctua or Turniq Tower... raw performance TRUE-120 and a high static pressure fan

Vendetta 2 is pretty good for the money

Just tried my new True 120 black edition with x2Noctua NF-P12 and it's worse than my Zalman CNPS9700. the base of the heatsink has a more than noticable concave profile and i wished I noted how large it is as I've had to remove the window fan to get the side panel on my antec 900. The Noctua NF-P12 fans are nice and neat silent though@1200rpm compared to the Antec fans. i wonder if the heatsink can be RMA after being used? Looks like I'll keep the fans for a water cooling upgrade though.

main problem with the true it should come with a warning "must be lapped"

 

[neoboy]

Yeah it's quite shocking, I need to get round to mine sometime.

 

[Michael.T]

[Acid_death69]

[Michael.T]

^ Yeah, what the hell is the TRUE 120?

Do you mean the Thermalright Ultra-120?

If yes, what has "True" got to do with anything?

 

[TheRedZealot]

True = Thermal Right Ultra Extreme

I found this "Thermalright's latest version of its Ultra-120 eXtreme cooler carries two changes; it's now black in colour, and it's now called the TRUE Black 120"

Guess it's just a marketing name change as it appears to be the same spec but with a new name and black nickel plating.

thanks

 

[Michael.T]
