Sunbeamtech Tuniq Tower 120 CPU Cooler

The overall size no doubt plays a significant role in the Tuniq Tower's performance, but I think it may actually be too big. It overhangs the CPU socket on all sides, and there are a number of things that could interfere with this beast. On the test system, it only had a problem with the chipset cooler, but that is problem enough. I can foresee issues on other boards where it may be too close to the memory, power supply, chipset, OTES type cooling, or maybe even the video card.

There is a preceived notion that wider tyres make the car go faster or bigger radiator makes the engine run cooler.

A 2.6C northwood at stock speed could easily be fitted with the stock all alum sink with below 2,000 fan and run forever.
