To buy the Tuniq Tower or not?

[The_Blood_Raven]

I need a great CPU cooler that sitts very high since I have a 680i LT. I want great cooling and I am not willing to pay over $50. Noise is absolutely no problem. I was think about the Tuniq Tower, and wanted other opinions or experiences. What do you think I should buy? Normally I would not ask this on a forum, but it is urgent since my CPU cooler is broken and overheats when the CPU goes over 40%. Thank you.

Well, I've already posted in the other one but the Zerotherm Nirvana is it. It's better (or equal) than the Tuniq and comes quite cheap. Noisy when fan full speed.

Yeah, I've been reading the Xigmatek recently. Guess it's now on my top list of recommendations.

i have the tuniq, it keeps my 6400+ (@3.45ghz) around 35c idle and 45c load, seems quiet, the only thing id complain about is the size, but thats kind of expected with the cooling.

but if i were you id go with the zigmatek
