Don't like how Tuniq Tower clips in, alternatives?

[jonjon0nline]

I don't feel the mounting clip is as secure as it should be. I went to the Tuniq from a Scythe Mugen, which secured rock solid.

My question is-- what HSF, besides the TRUE120, will get the best cooling and secures better? I was pretty mad that my old Mugen cooled better than the TT.

Unless I'm missing something, I'm just not a fan of the single cross clip that some HSF's are using.

Noctura NH12-U is in the top 5 coolers. The fan used being the determining factor

Almost everyone is going for the Xigmatek S1283, it secures very nicely.

I <3 my OCZ Vandetta 2, mounted it with a Scythe S-flex and it cool ridiculously well

Love my True 120

Love my True 120

Agreed !

I recommend OCZ Hydrojet!! And if you can not get that, get the worlds biggest HSF from Scythe (I think it was, but I forgot the model) You will need big cases for both of em' ^

The Scythe Shogun Heatlane looks pretty good:

Or Maybe this?

Thanks for the link. Don't really follow heatsinks much because I am a cheapo and I usually stick with the stock cooler. Though being a cheapo I do read the hot deals forums a lot

Yep, friend of mine just picked one of those up for his ATX case. I like my mATX so I couldn't get one

He's running a C2D OC'd to 3.6 @ like 35idle/50load

He must have some kind of a effective wind tunnel blowing through to get those temps with such "a" HSF.
