XP-120
XP-90
I thought they would be copper. I have seen some as huge towers too.

Copper version of the XP90 just came out-- XP-90C. Check Thermalright's website on it.

HTH.

Just an FYI.....the XP90c was less than 1 degree cooler in all tests compared to the regular XP90 AL considering idle and load temps.. For all practical purposes, the regular AL XP90 is a much better buy.

And a hell of a lot lighter!

actually, they supposedly weigh about the same. from what I've heard, the xp-90 is mostly copper anyway, it's just the fins that are aluminum, and the rest of it is aluminum plated.

nope..

650grams plus compared to <365 for the AL

I believe the fins are aluminum they have a nickle plated copper base, the copper XP-90 weighs a good bit more, but doesn't cool much better than the aluminum ones.

 

[kcbass]

must've been a typo on their site...when i last checked it, both said they weighed 650 grams.

 

[kcbass]

oh, and they coolerguys website has the best prices I've seen for this kind of stuff.

I'm thinking of OCing my system a little. Would an XP-90 be the way to go, or would something like a zalman CNPS7000B-Cu be better? I have a 3200+ on an asus A8N-SLI.

Both are great. The zalman is really quite while the XP-90 performs slightly better. You could get a quite fan with the XP-90 anyway though. Search google fort some comparisons. I bet the difference is not big. It most likely will come down to cost and personal preference. I would probably go with the XP-90 though.

I've had the nexus fans recommended to me for performance/silence. They're orange, which I'm not too fond of (whatever happened to just a regular black fan, anyway?) but they're pretty good. you can find them here: www.coolerguys.com

if you're talking uber oc's then go with the xp-90. i like the 7000 al/cu because the design allows the fan to blow air over the mobo, in particular my dimms and the pwmic area on my dfi nf4.
