CPU cooler advice...

[father-ted]

I was looking at a new cooler for my new build, and was going to go with the Tuniq Tower 120.

However I have a Zalman CPNS 9500 in my current system, so should I stick with that or invest in a newer one?

Is it worth the extra investment? Yes I will overclock.

Looking at getting a C2Q9550 with a DFI mobo and ATI 4870x2

Thanks

TT is not worth buying at the current price IMO.

What CPU will it be cooling? I went for the tuniq after reading many reviews and posts here and I can't say I'm even slightly dissapointed. It's keeping a q6600 at 3.4 without going above 62c. The fan can be a bit loud at full rpm but you don't ever really need to max it IMHO

q9550 most probably.

Would the Tuniq be a worthwile improvement from my Zalman 9500?

Tt is horrendously priced atm remember when a few sites were doin the blue LED one for £17.99 lol

thats why I opted for a TRUE, better cooling (if done properly) and cheaper Can be ahd for £35 if you look about.

If you want similar performance to the TT, consider the OCZ Vendetta 2, half the price and just as good
