Although this cooler performed well and offered good performance, I did have a little bit of a gripe with the installation process. For one thing, the positive stop method of holding the heatsink used on the original Tuniq tower was abandoned on this refresh. It could have been because of the bad reputation of the brass screws that would strip or break outright. Even so, a positive stop type of mount would have been better. I still wonder why there is a slot for a screwdriver on top of the thumbscrews, considering that there is only about a half an inch above them before the bottom end of the heatsink begins.

Looks like the 120 Extreme is a worthy upgrade from its predecessor.

The design of this cooler has always intrigued me, i love how the fins form like diagonals, and seems like it provides an adaquet surface area.

I like that fact that Tuniq went with a direct heatpipe design.

The direct heatpipe designs aren't that effective from the few reviews i've seen.

Its provides a good price vs. performance compare to more expensive coolers.
It's actually about the same as most coolers ~$65
