A small heatsink above the base to dissipate extra heat away
Common with the Nordwand and the Tower 120 Extreme is the small heatsink on top of the base to help dissipate any extra heat. It's nickel coated to match the rest of the heat sink. This has proved useful with the two other cooler so hopefully that winning pedigree is still present here.


The base of the cooler
The base is also familiar using the Core Contact Technology that Tuniq has pioneered. The base is fairly flat for maximum contact with the CPU and the heat pipes cover the surface area of the CPU well. Pre-installed to the base is the mounting bracket with holes supporting all modern motherboard sockets.


The fan emits a subtle glow for an excellent finish
Bundled with the Propeller is the excellent 1000-2000 RPM blue LED fan that can be controlled using the fan controller. The fan gives off a nice subtle glow that helps illuminate the computer without being over the top.


The heatsink with the fan attached
Altogether the Tuniq Propeller is a very attractive cooler that is somewhat lacking in size and yet is taller than its main rival the Noctua NH-C12P SE14. The fan uses a clear wire so you don't end up with a foray of multi coloured wires everywhere. The fan is oriented to push air through the radiators, thereby cooling adjacent components on the motherboard.


The rubber grommets used to secure the fan
To install the fan, you simply have to place it on top and insert the rubber grommets into each corner. No fiddly wire clips are required and the rubber acts as an anti-vibration medium. This mounting system was used on the Alpenföhn Nordwand and proved very successful.
