XP-90C. It's just as good as the 120 but it's a lot more compatible.

The xp-90c would perform a bit better. But i wouldn't get the xp-90c over the xp-120 if it costs a lot more. As stated in your sig, you want to achieve around 2.5, IMO, you should just save the money and get a xp-90, there isn't much difference between the three and you would still be able to oc the same amount.

Forget the C. You don't need it. The XP-90 does just fine and weighs a whole lot less. And try www.jab-tech.com for it and the Panaflo to put on it. Great prices, great service, fast shipping. You can package it up with fan, and AS5 for a slight discount too.

Neither. Just get the XP-90.

Definitely. SPCR recently did a review, and it outperformed the XP-90. If you have the money, go for it. Be sure to get a low-speed fan to clip on as well. Two fans if you want.

Lacking in quantity of reviews, but not quality (though I hope they update the Ninja review with some direct comparisons).

I'd suggest a low speed panaflo fan, the L1A or the M1A if you don't mind noise. The L's quieter.

i am all about quiet...and can i use a case fan on the scythe ninja

 

[Unkno]

or the nexus fan...


but really now, you don't really even need the ninja, just get the regular xp-90 and it'll be fine. Your just wasting money

Yup. As long as it's 120mm.

XP-90.

It's better than both the XP-90C and the XP-120.

I agree!!! Personally I would use an Excabre Super Nitrous cooled heatpipe fan!!
