i like the sp-97 and sp-94 better then the xp-120 styles myself.

i currently have a xp-120 and its just too big.

yhea true.

a frend of mine has the XP 120 and I must agree they feel oversized.

The SP 97 is a fine piece of work and cools like no other imho but the XP 120 is sooooo big and takes up a lot of space. I like the compactness and cooling capacity of my SP 97.

It doesn't have the best idle temps out there but my load temps rule :)

them XP 120's are good imo for cooling decently and quietly but even then.

they get into a lot of way

it's a very useful article, a must read!

Very nice article.

i dont even need to read the article, because the answer is easy:

1) XP-120 *if* it fits
2) XP-90 if XP-120 does *not* fit
3) Zalman 7000 AlCu if you dont plan extreme overclocking

Enough said :)
