TT120 Advice please

KaBar · 30 Dec 2006 at 13:28

The Tuniq has been raved about for ages and seeing as it is on offer of the week I've decided to get one for the computer I'm building, but I had a couple of questions:

1. It going to be used to cool an E6300 on a DS3 board is it straight forward to fit to this board? (I'm sure there are some of you with this combination)

2. Is the thermal paste it comes with worth bothering with or should I order some artic silver?

3. Not picked a case yet (I'll be asking for advice on this in the appropriate forum once I've read a little more) but for now my question is what is the minimum case width I should be looking at for a DS3 TT120 combo?

Thanks in advance

I use a tt120 with a ds3 very easy to fit just dont over tighten the screws i would get some as5 if u can, as for cases the lian li pc7 plus is a very good case
and fits the tt120 in very easily.

The Lian Li case seems to come highly recommended and with a 210mm width does look like it will fit things with ease but by the time I add the cost of a PSU I will be spending more than I wanted.

Been looking at the Arctic Cooling T1 Pro Case (which includes a 500w PSU at only £61), but at only 180mm wide I wasn't certain the TT120 would fit. :confused:

Hi, a bit off topic, but do you have a way of removing the TT120 mobo mount plate?? I need to uninstall my TT.

If like me u used the sticky foam stuff on the backplate then it will come off with
quite a bit of force but the foam will stay on the back of the motherboard once its on its on for good :mad:

I need the foam thing gone. I want to install a water block.

Ideas anyone???
