Thermalright XP-90 or XP-120? (K8N NEO2)

[Hombre]

Hi,

Lately I saw that my idle/load temps are higher than normal and I reached a conclusion that I need to upgrade my HSF.

So, I have a 3200+ Winchester, K8N Neo2, 2x512Mb... And I know that the XP90 will fit perfectly while i'll need to bend one of the caps to mount the XP-120.

After all I wanted to know what are the differences cooling wise between the XP90 and 120. If they're big i'll bend some caps...!

Also, which fan goes best with the XP90? Vantec's Tornado92mm?

PS. little thermal compound question: :)
What are the differences between AS5 and AS Ceramique?

Thanks in advance. :banana:

Best regards,
Swing.

I'm not on my computer currently, but IIRC my winnie @ 2400mhz 1.5v(=1.45v) is idling around 50-+c, and load never goes beyond 58c!

Shouldn't be like that. And I should improve my case airflow and ass some LED fans anyways :D

Regards.

AS5 is slightly conductive and the Ceramique is not
