XP-120 hands down

 

[SquallRealm]

yeah i was recomended one of those too.. if u have k8n neo2 u can't take advantage of the dual channel ram because the heatsink blocks it...

XP-120 rocks me!

XP 120 blocks a memory slot? Why doo You have Dremel tool? If those are fins that are blocking just cut lower part off it leaving upper part in tackt. Doo not cut heat pipes
Then place modules in mobo and then place moded XP 120 over it. And there is Your free memory cooler

It blocks the memory slot only on certain boards. With my Epox 9NDA3+ it doesn't block them it just covers them, but I am able to get my ram in so it cools the ram and I still get to use all my slots.

The only issue I have with it, is that its so damn HUGE and a bit of a pain to install

Zalman CNPS7700-Cu anyone?
Nearly silent, EXCELLENT COOLING, and quite a bit of OC potential... Plus very flexible.

XP120 if you can, maybe a XP90....

 

[SquallRealm]

i'm not gonna cut the heatsink period. it blocks 1 ram slot, so i will prolly get xp-90

XP-120 if it fits, XP-90 if it doesn't.

Definately XP-120. Got my 3500+ at 2640 and it still only goes up to 42 degrees after many hours of Doom3.
