Sticking with air for now, what works best?

Thanks!

The Thermalright XP 120.

I have a Hyper6, works very well.

Xp-120

or the XP-90.

EDIT: probably should be moved to the air cooling section....

I just noticed that... you're probably right too.

I was thinking for overclocking sakes, so I thought this forum would make sense.

Anyhow, thanks to you all for the info... I'll probably go XP-120.

Best? Thermalright XP-120 if it's compatable. Also very good, that fits mobos is Thermalright XP-90 and Coolermaster Hyper 6. Oh, and also the Zalman CNPS7700 is good and quiet, but again you need to check if it fits your mobo.

I'm using a swifty MCX-6400V and absolutely love it :)

Swifty MCX-6400V & Coolermaster 20cfm blower (Higher air pressure (10.7mm H2O) than a Tt SmartFan 2 at max 70cfm (8.3mm H2O))

Easier to remove than a XP-90/120 also

Coolermaster Hyper6

does the hyper6 have any compatilbilty problems at all?

XP-120 gets more air where I need it (back of vidcard is biggest issue) + FETs and some mem.
The hyper6 is a good 2nd choice, though the clips can be a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: to get on. Temps were not noticably different . May also depend on what you are willing to do to mod it to work the way you want it (lapping, etc) (I added 92mm panaflo M to hyper6 w/ adapter in draw mode) and are you leaving on the heatspreader?
Fiddled extensively w/ both, see sig for rigs. Both chips are topless :slobber:

Swiftech MCX6400V is what I have, I'm absolutely satisfied.
