fantastic cooler

check that your case is big enough to fit it though

Good cooler, PITA to mount though - don't even think about trying to mount it in the case and it's not easy outside the case either!

The tuniq is an excellent cooler, as prosser13 recommends mount the cooler o/s the case.

Tip: dont remove the adhesive backing strip (on the bck plate mount) leave it intact. If you remove the strip and use the adhesive backing to mount the back plate it can be extremely troublesome to remove the back plate from the motherboard if need be.

If you find your student loan is getting slim, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro is an excellent budget choice:

im pretty sure my case will be big enough its a Antec P182 Super Midi Tower Case and there seems to be a lot of space kicking about in there

Mine was fine in a Centurion 530 so I doubt you'll have any problems!
