Getting rid of a Zalman CNPS9500. Any suggestions? Leaning towards a Tuniq Tower.
 
thermalright ultra-120 extreme. barely fit in my antec 900 case though
 
Wise choice getting rid of that Zalman :p

Ultra-120 X seems to out perform the Tuniq from what I have seen (correct me if I'm wrong guys). For something a little smaller, have a look at the Ultima-90 (smaller version of the Ultra-120 X). I personally would go with one of the Thermalright's but its up to you.

Edit: Beat me to it Cleve :)
 
Seems like the Ultra 120 Extreme is the tried and true way to go. I should have just stuck with it the first time, but instead bought a Scythe Mini Ninja because it was on sale. I'm not really that happy with it, so I just bought an Ultra 120 Extreme and Noctura 120mm fan.

Hopefully the 120 will meet my expectations ;)
 
Hmm the Ultra 120 Extreme costs a little more and I have to get a fan separately :( And whats this I hear about having to lap the surface?
 
Hmmm the Ultima 90 is looking good. Seems like its a step up from the Tuniq in the same price range.
 
Ultra 120 Extreme is the way to go.

I just bought one myself. Hopefully i'll have some time to install it this week. I am moving up from a scythe ninja
 
I picked up my Tuniq Tower when it was on sale for $45 at NewEgg, which it happens to be on sale again.

For that price I think it's a great deal.

Yeah its what I was looking at. But I got an Ultima 90 for about the same price from Heatsink Factory. Well see how it goes!
 
Got it today. Mounting system not that great. The Zalman was better. The fan mounting system is pretty horrible I have to say. My 120mm fan only makes contact with like a couple of the lower fins on the heatsink... Another thing, with a 120mm fan I wouldnt be able to close the side panel - which I dont use anyway but its something to note. As for performance... Im having other problems so I havent actually been able to test anything... :(
