Guys, I am finally jumping onto the A64 bandwagon.

Got myself:
A64 3200+ Venice Core
DFI ULTRA-D
2x 512MB OCZ PC4000 VX RAM
OCZ Powerstream 520W
Sapphire X800 GTO2 (Easily modded into X850XL PE with a Bios flash)

But I haven't decided which CPU HS to get, pretty much narrowed down to TT Typhoon or the Scythe Ninja. Give me some suggestions :)

They are both the same price from SVC here:
TT Typhoon (http://www.svc.com/cl-p0114-14.html)
Scythe Ninja (http://www.svc.com/scnj-1000.html)
*I will be using a 120mm fan with the Ninja if I get that.

Also does Ninja fit the DFI Ultra-D board? (I do not plan on doing any customized mod to mount it)

And lots of thanks in advance! :)

P.S. Does anyone have one of these puppies and how does it compare to the 2 HS mentioned above?
Scythe Shogun (http://www.svc.com/shogun.html)

I actually found that thread after posting mine, it seems like most ppl here at XS suggests BT, but the lack of supporter for Ninja is caused (from my observations) by the limited number of people actually using the HS.

At EOC, more people are recommanding the Ninja, and since the previous thread you posted did not provide any statistics comparing the two HS in question here, I went ahead and ordered the Ninja, simply because I don't want to mess with the custom mounting procedures required by the BT on the DFI mobo.
