Got my XP-120 Today

I got my Thermalright XP-120 today.

I am running a FX-51.

Temps were 40idle and 45 load


The heatsink is super light but it is huge. But just like the guide said it fit on my motherboard (Asus SK8N)

I put a 120mm panaflo on and it is now running at

25 idle and 31 load

This is using the thermal paste provided.
I am going to put some AS5 on this weekend to see if I can get anymore of a drop.

Awesome heatsink and worth the $40 I paid.

Nice. Yeah the X-120 are good performers however their size can cause problems with a variety of motherboards. Thats some good temps you got there. Is that with your Panaflo cranked up to max speed? Noise must be a bit of an issue?

man, I wish my ambient case temp was 25 idle

Asus lies to you.

Great heatsink, well worth the money.

Those temps seem too low. I'd check them out myself, forget the mobo readings

I am getting the temps from Motherboard Monitor 5. regardless if they are off, it was still a 10c improvement.
