Oh, I'm not saying that Tuniq Tower is bad, it has already proven itself to be one of the reference HSFs on the market. No objection there.
My 'sweet' remark was about the size and weight of the Ultima-90. It weighs almost the half of what Ultra-120 weighs and it's smaller. It surely will save some space. And I bet with a 'decen't fan, it could be made both efficiently cool and silent

Also read where it says Test #. It says exactly what was done. This is one heck of a heatsink.
Thermy FTW

Ah, yes! Sometimes one, sometimes two 120mm S-Flex "
F's! Really noted for its quietness, isn't it? Make that
their quietness! Naturally, everybody will mount 120mm fans - or two of them - on the U-90! A remarkably fair review of the U-90, which was tested exactly as most users would deploy it.

I'm sure with a Vmod to the fan or a YAte mod it will do as well.

Will this monster fit in a P150/SOLO case? I'm wondering if I have 160mm of clearance opposite the motherboard side of the case, lol.

It could be a very tight fit, since the specs on the official site says 160.5mm for height.

The new extreme is as tall as the original U120, and that fits in a Solo, someone posted a shot of that setup some days ago. It's a tight fit, that's true, there's not much space left in my Stacker which is 14 mm wider than the Solo.

cool, thanks guys
I would aim for the new 90mm if that reviews well but I have more 120mm fans lying around so I may end up sticking with the plan to grab an ultra 120 Extreme
