--- Mounting System and Fitment Time

Mounting System

The Tuniq 120 uses a motherboard back-plate for mounting, so the motherboard needs to be removed for installation.

With that plate in position, it's then necessary to fit a mounting plate onto the cooler.

That involves pushing the fan upwards, sliding the plate over a notch in the top of the cooler block, then lowering the fan back into position and securing it to the top of the cooler using four small screws.

After applying thermal paste to the CPU, the cooler can be secured in place with four long bolts that use mini-springs to ensure even pressure. The bolts have large, knurled finger-grips and screw directly into holes in the back plate. They're easy to put in place, since there is ample space available beneath the cooler.

Fitment Time

With a fitting time of 924 seconds (15 minutes 24 seconds), the Tower 120 came in 24th. The cooler wasn't actually hard to fit, just a bit too fiddly. Quite a lot of preparation was required before the cooler could finally be mounted, what with the need for a bottom plate, motherboard removal and the use of a plate holding the fan.
