    Worth upgrading from xp90 to Big Typhoon?

    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.

    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,
