Here's a look at the Ultra-120 eXtreme installed. Hard to do a direct comparison with the Tuniq Tower because I'm using different fans. Attached to the heatsink is a Scythe S-Flex 120mm fan. Seems quieter than the Tuniq's internal fan. Temps are reasonable. In a hot room (temp probably around 90F), I was getting 57-58C temps with 100% load on my quad-core. Board is the Asus P5B Deluxe. I have a Jing-Ting chipset cooler on the northbridge. Have to move the graphics card to the second slot. But this is a folding rig, so I'm not too concerned about video quality.
The only real negative is the cooler can be wiggled around, even after the screws are tightened down. I have the board set up on my metal benching platform. A clamp puts downward pressure on the heatsink. I think this helps a little.
