Down to two HSF's

[silverphoenix]

do you hav a link that you can provide that proves this? and the ninja directly exhausts the heat out the rear fan

well the reason why the exhaust going out the back is good is so the air doesn't just make a circle and go back through the heatsink, but Like I said air will be be fresh from side of case, so the ninja directing exhaust doesn't count anymore other than other components but there will be plent of case airflow anyways. The link to the si120 and xp120 I had the link to madshrimp but their site is down right now as it seems. The rest were the best seperate reviews I could find that used identical platforms to compare temps. Using the K8n neo2 the ninja wouldn't really sit inline with the rear exhaust anyways. If I could I would test out both situations but I'm not doing a direct HSF comparison I'm comparing both in different situations. I know the Ninja is the better performer if all conditions were the same but they aren't going to be.
