Zalman vs Tuniq
 

I have a question about the cpu cooler.

I looked at both Zalman 9700 and Tuniq 120 and I can't decide on which one to get. I am building an AMD system. Please help me choose :)

tunique owns it
 

Hi
Zalman coolers arent good for overclocking, the tunique is
U can look for the new thermalright ultra 120+
I think thats the best cooler, but the tunique is good though.
On xtremesystems is a comparing test of a modded 9500 and a tunique, i want to give the link but xtremesystems.org doesnt work now.

grtz

was wrong

the scyte infinity is good 2.
the review was a ninja vs zalman 9500 nvm

he's asking about 9700 :) which is a step up from 9500 series.

Both coolers are high class grade, get the one you can buy the cheapest, as performance difference will be small.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help :)

9700 9500
 

I know the 9700 is a lil bit better than the 9500, the tunique tower is a lot better in my opinion especially at low fan speeds.

Cooling Results
The Zalman 9500 and 9700 are both excellent performers in CPU cooling at stock speeds. However, as overclocks were raised, neither cooler was particularly outstanding in the ability to cool the CPU under stress conditions.

maybe that this zalman is better (MAYBE, I dont believe it is) in performance, but if you looking price....so my choice wuld be tuniq
