If you had to choose between a tuniq tower or a Ninja which would it be and why?

Thanks

While I do believe the Ninja is a better cooler, unfortunately I don't have any confidence in the mounting system they use fot LGA775.

S939/AM2: Ninja, LGA775: Tower.

tuniq is a great hs but not for spcr applications.
i'd still stick with ninja.

I agree with the above, however you can just use a bolt through kit with the ninja on 775.

I'll probably get the ninja. It does fit in the P182 case right? And this may sound dumb but it does cool better than the zalman 9500 right?

No personal experience but to my knowledge it's a safe YES on both those questions

If you take the higher-airflow-preferring Ultra-120 eXtreme out of the league, the Ninja is the best heatsink out there..low airflow or not.

And the push-pins are maybe not the best idea (screw that Intel-idea), but using the same bracket, with the push-pins ripped off, you can bolt-through perfectly. I've done it before.

I'd take Ninja, since Tuniq needs pretty high pressure fan to be effective, as fan is between two sets of tightly spaced fins, which make Tuniq very ineffective compeared to Ninja in low RPM fans.

I would get the 120 ultra but I've heard horror stories about installing that on an intel board. Is is really that hard to install compared to the ninja?
