I've found this sweetie on newegg and quite impressed.

I'm now using an amd 955 CPU at stock (with its hell loud stock cooler).
So do you guys think this new cooler would be able to keep my CPU oced to 3.8Ghz (or possibly 4Ghz) stable under 60 celcius degree at load?

I think your concerns should be more about whether or not the fan will fit. What's your case and mobo?

Mobo: asus crosshair III
Case: CM Storm Sniper

I tried to measure the dimensions for each and I dont think fitting is a problem.

The Coolermaster Storm Sniper can easily accomodate 160mm tall cpu heatsinks. The case is wider than normal. No problem.

Well, I check that ranking for almost everyday, but could not find my tuniq there
Please show me some benchmarks if you could find some about this baby
It looks great and comes with everything needed, fan controller, thermal compound TX-3 and yea, LED also

As an original Tuniq Tower 120 owner, the extreme does look better, the problem with the Tuniq besides filleting you if you brush against it installing it, and you will, is the fan is inside, not outside, having its intake obstructed.

This is a superb cooler.

However this is going to be my next cooler with 2 120mm fans

After looking that TT120Extreme over real good, it may be seriously worth getting they've gone from 3 heat pipes to 5 and gone with the HDT [Heatpipe Direct Touch] base, and the contact base is finished better too.

So go for it man and let us know how well it performs.

Thanks for your infos, guys, really appreciate them.
Well, Xigmatek Dark Knight was my top priority before this TT120Ex, I also knew the True and Megahalems are doing big time out there, but they are out of my budget (esp. when you need to spend more for 2 120mm fans, and 1 fan controller panel, perhaps)

Here are some benchmarks that include the original Tuniq Tower 120:

I have not seen any technical reviews for the new version yet.

I still use my original Thermalright Ultra 120. It's still produces excellent results.

I am using a Megahalems cooler with push-pull (2 x 120mm fans), the temperature of my i7 stays 30 degree Celsius range with this cooler. The TT 120 Extreme also performs similarly and it definitely looks cooler than my Megahalems.

Awesome
Can't wait to get this baby

Keep us updated on your experience with the TT 120 Extreme, if you will?

 

[goldbranch]

Sure I will, however, I'm quite concerned looking at feedbacks on newegg. One more thing, I'm kind of afraid this tuniq will block my dominator's fan
My mate suggests me to go for corsair h50, just like him.
Oh man, I'm so confused

I recently installed a Scythe Samurai Zz on my AM3 710x3. The temp drops have been astounding, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a price-effective CPU cooler. I got it on sale for $22, but it normally retails for just over 30.

I also like the top down design for keeping air blowing over my Mobo.
