thermalright ultra 120 or turing tower?

[rocco]

i was on newegg reading the reviews on the TR ultra 120 and it has bad reviews on the mounting problems and the bottom not being flat and even!
should i go for the tuning tower or the ultra 120?

I personally have the ThermalRight Ultra-120 heatsink on my P5W DH right now and it has worked perfectly with no problems and excellent temps. Recently I picked up a 680i (reference model) and I am aware the 120 doesnt fit those because of little transistors (i think?) on the back of the board behind the CPU. As far as mounting the HSF I have also heard of problems with the tuniq tower just simply because of its size. The tuniq gets a few degrees lower but it nearly twice as wide.. with the fan on high but it is also loud, but it does come with a fan controller. Id do some research and make sure the tuniq can fit in your case. There are a few different factors so its all about what you are looking for, lowest temps? noise? size?

best mounting of any heatsink and its as good if not better than the thermalright
