XP-90C or XP-120?

[Vegitto]

See the topic title. Which one should I get? I'm talking about raw cooling performance here, so don't come up with "Go with the XP-90, the XP-120 is more expensive". I'm going for one of these two, so don't try to recommend something else, either.

Thanks in advance and all...

XP-120 if it will fit your mobo. 120mm fan - lots of fans and push more cfm/dba than a 92mm fan.

Thermalright has motherboard compatibility info on their website
just look it up
XP-120 if it does fit

XP 90C is better then 120 I think
I will suggest get XP90c with SilenX 92mm 14dba with 2K RPM which push 36CFM

The XP-120 won't fit on your board. I would go with the XP-90 over the XP-90c. A lot less weight and torque on your cpu/motherboard. Half the cost and only a 1 to 2 degree difference in performance.

Half the cost in the USA? In the Netherlands, the difference is ?7,50. The XP-90 is ?42,50 and the XP-90C is ?50.

Yep, the XP-90 can be found in the U.S. [online] for about $25. Whereas the XP-90C & XP-120 hovers around the $50 mark.

Go figure...

Wow! But then, imagine what shipping'd cost.

Overseas? probably not worth it. To me (in U.S.), same price either or. 😀

I just wanted to say the XP-120 is great. I have a Thermaltake fan with the 3 speed control options and blue led (the clear led ones were rated at a lower db I believe). Motherboard is set to control the fan and it never ever has to raise the speed. But it does shut it off sometimes (cool & quiet).
