I'm going to setup a second rig and use the X2 4200 on air, I have the xp90(not xp90c) and wondering what can I expect (performance wise) if I were to upgraded it to TT Big Typhoon? is it even worth it? and is there any benefit to upgrade the BT stock fan to 110cfm fan? thanks.
How does around 10C improvement from the XP-90C with a quiet fan sound?
I don't have a XP-90 but I am surprised how silent the BT is (and obviously it cools well). It is also good in not getting in the way with other motherboard components.
The mounting is a joke, though, I used leftover Zalman parts to mount :)
Also, it is very high so the heavy heatsink also has a lot of lever to pull on the mainboard. I wouldn't transport the PC with it mounted.

I never expected it myself. XP-90C does need a high airflow to perform, I guess.
120 versus 90 mm = 80% more surface. Subtract losses due to frame and promity to edge you will see that a 120mm construction has almost twice the surface for cooling,
Our review pitted the XP90 against the BT - the XP90 lost miserably.
