Tuniq Tower Price WTF!

Awesome · 15 Sep 2008 at 22:54

Ever so slightly O.T.

Is it worth while changing the fan on the Tuniq tower in the interest of silence? The stock one is good but I'm tempted to try a "Quiet" fan.

I would say no as i have my fan running at the slowest speed possible with the fan controller and notice nothing more than -1ºC change if i turn it up to full. Give that a try, if u notice running at slowest speed means u get too hot, then replace the fan.

I have a Noctua in my TT and the fan is virtually silent at full RPM... temperature dropped a couple of degrees as well.

£14 for 2ºC not worth it imho.

Thanks for the Comments on the fan guys

I'm thinking about going the watercooled route, If I don't then I'll change it.

That price for a Twinky - You can get an Ultra 120 Extreme for that price!

I was able to get the new black version of the TRUE120 for a lot less than that.

If you had owned a TT you would know that the stock fan is seriously loud - £14 is a bargain for silence.

the ocuk price of the true and tuniq isn't far off double what i paid (the true that is) from a competitor!

If you had read my post you would know that I have. Turning the fan down to low using the control that comes with the TT makes it silent...

Overclockers need to start stocking Xigmatek

Totally agree with you,they are an excellent cooler & even better if you use the crossbow mounting kit.

Does anybody know why have they suddenly shot up in price?

Because there was a huge trend in everyone buying the Tuniq and OCUK probably realized there was profit to be made in it.

Well we bought 10 a little while ago but then the price went silly and we bought elsewhere...

To be honest tho you will be seeing components shoot up in price over the following few months... We have been quoted 10-15% increase on Antec chassis, 15% Increase on Chieftec and 10% Increase on Corsair PSUS thats before you stat even looking at components. Poor pound vs Dollar rate as well as metal being a lot more expensive as well as a lot higher transportation costs are to blame really.

The average built PC will probably be £100 more expensive by christmas than it is now...

I ordered my new system around a month back from OCUK, total was around £850, checked out the price to see if anything had gone down and the overall price was up over £900 total :eek:

Bought at the right time for once I think!

ZXSpectrum · 17 Sep 2008 at 09:20

Yep things are on the up considerably...

2StepSteve · 17 Sep 2008 at 09:21

£60? Someone is having a laugh.. surely.

Roeg1 · 17 Sep 2008 at 09:45

Got Mine xmas paid £30 for it and was well worth it. Keeps my OCed quad very cool.

I wouldn't pay £60 it not in a million years
