Tuniq Tower 120-LFB Heatsink Review @ OCIA

I have a renewed interest in heatsinks these days but only to find out why they are getting to be so f'in big!. Back in the early days most heatsinks were a slab of metal (usually ALU or CU) with fins either attached or skivved out of them. Well it would seem with the quest to have better cooling with less sound many mfgs are looking to laptop design for the answer, ie heatpipes.

Sadly one of the drawbacks to heatpipe design is for them to be effective they also have to be big, meaning big fans, more weight, and less space in your case.
When I think of high-end air cooling, a few coolers quickly come to mind. In no particular order, those beasts include the Thermalright Ultra-120, the Scythe Infinity and the Noctua NH-U12F. Not to be forgotten though, is today’s review sample: the Tuniq Tower. Tuniq (a subsidiary of Sunbeamtech) first introduced the Tower a long time ago, and it since has gone through revisions to become the Tower 120-LFB
