Tuniq Propeller 120 CPU Cooler Review

Feature and Specifications
Their own overview of the cooler:

The Tuniq Propeller 120 CPU cooler took its visual inspiration from the mighty aircraft carriers. The four specially designed smooth-curving heatpipes are both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. The 120mm MFDB fan blows downward and is one of the best performing fans on the market; and when matched with the four specially designed heatpipes, the Propeller 120 is able to achieve the same top level performance of competing designs with eight heatpipes. We have also included the top performing TX-3 thermal compound and a fan controller to maximize performance and flexibility.

The propeller moniker instigates a professionally engineered design accustomed to that of battleships and aeroplanes which we hope to see with this product.



•Silent 120mm MFDB FAN (Magnetic Fluid Dynamic Bearing)

One thing to take notice of is the height, which is 11mm taller than the Noctua NH-C12P. This may restrict its usage in some m-atx cases and judging from that, Tuniq may be targeting this as an alternative to its Extreme cooler rather than for smaller cases.
