Better choice for X2 cooling - Scythe Ninja or Mine?

[BlueWeasel]

I've currently got a overclocked X2 cooled with the Freezer64 Pro. The Freezer64 does fine and keeps the X2 below 55C, but it's about to get handed down to my parents.

I don't mind paying a little bit extra for a better performing HS. The Freezer64 worked great with my cool-running Sempron, but the temps I'm getting with an OC'ed X2 on 1.52v are roughly 10C higher.

Ninja Review
Mine Review

Most reviews I've seen put them about the same. However, the SPCR review shows the Ninja being several degrees better than the Mine.

Since the prices are about the same, which would you get? I'm leaning toward the Ninja.

I owned a Ninja..(even did water cooling)....went back to my XP-120. The Ninja was a fantastic 'low-cfm' performer. Has a quiet (NOT silent) 120mm fan as well. Kept my X2-3800+@2.4 at 36C idle and 47C double Prime load (ambient is 24Cand an 120mm Nexus@~750rpm). My XP-120 does roughly the same temps ~+1C (w/same fan). The reason I opted back to the XP120 ---> downward cfm's onto the mobo/chipset/mosfets/RAM. With the Ninja my mobo temps rose 4C and all in all I think cooler chipset/mosfet/RAM temps get you more stability/longevity...just my opinion. The Mine I know nothing about except what I have read. Looks to be a good performer. Have you gandered at the TR SI-128. I'm partial to TR and your budget will prob be the deciding factor. GL and you can't go wrong with any of these IMO.
