XP-120...was there really any question?

 

[toin7]

does the xp-120 fit on the msi neo2 platinum mobo? right now im considering the venus 12 from TT, but if the xp-120 fits i might go with that.

Thats easy the XP 120 or if it won't fit prolly the XP 90 (as long as you use a 120mm fan w/ the xp 90 it should fit w/ a little work

Thermalright XP 120, easy question

 

[Schnook121]

i've got the XP-90 with a 92mm panaflo - very nice. 44 degrees while funning folding@home, itunes, AIM, and Firefox on a winchester 3200 oc'd to 2519

i found out that the xp-120 doesnt fite the neo2 platinum, so now its between teh coolermaster hyper 6 and the vensu 12. which one is better?

 

[oldman420]

Yeah...it is, but I wear ear muffs when I wanna sleep. Kinda freaks out my dog, but at least I know she's there at 3am cause she's playing with the muffs.

How is the XP-120 loud? The heatsink is sold by itself, IIRC, and you choose the fan.

hyper6. also much easier to fit on, although it may be a bit heavy.

That's what I was thinking...

I'm pretty sure that Thermalright actually recommends a Panaflo M fan, which is not a very loud fan.
