I can't speak for the si-128, but the xp90 is completely eclipsed in both noise and temperature levels.

XpLiCiTReaLiTyxX said:Yes, actually I did. The reason I posted was because I would like to know which is the best one. There are a few good ones up there, but none of them sound like the best. Each of them have their own advantage. If someone were to simply say, "X is the one that will help you out the most." That would make my decision making process a lot easier.
Thanks guys!

XpLiCiTReaLiTyxX said:I have been hearing a lot of good things about the VF900, but the question now is, "Is this going to fit my All in Wonder X800 AGP?"
quadnad said:After doing a little bit of googling I found that it's supposedly compatible with the entire X800 series. In fact, one of the people on the newegg link to your card said that he had installed a VF900 on it.

I'm about to get a decent sized order from http://www.sidewindercomputers.com. XP-90, 2 panaflos, and a 120mm scythe fan. Going to grab a coolermaster centurion 5 from NewEgg and replace the stock fans for a real quiet case.Jaunty Angle said:Where do you guys go to buy fans and HSFs? Newegg adds $5 shipping to each item. Is there another reputable source that's cheaper?
Thanks.
Scratch that, I've changed my mind. I'm going to buy from Jab-Tech. I'm going with an SI-120, 2 120mm Yate Loons, and a Scythe S-Flex F model. I'm grabbing an Antec SLK3000-B at NewEgg to put it all in. I like the Antec over the Coolermaster because the exhaust grille is less restrictive, it has a front 120 v. 80, and it has a removeable hard drive tray. After I mount the fans with rubber grommets and open up the bottom of the bezel a little bit the loudest thing in the case should be my PSU. This is still not final though.Oline61 said:I'm about to get a decent sized order from http://www.sidewindercomputers.com. XP-90, 2 panaflos, and a 120mm scythe fan.

I don't know how they are yet, but they have good prices.
I just got the XP-90 with a panaflo 92mm fan in a Lian-Li PC-60 plus case, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with it. using orthos on a nonoverclocked E6600 the temps max out at 57c. Thats well... horrible.
I'm going to be getting a big typhoon.
Anyone know of a low profile, passive chipset heatsink for sale anywhere? Something along the lines of what Gigabyte used on their Nforce 4 motherboards. Has to be low profile, as there is a PCI card that hangs over the chipset, and I'd rather go passive as this is an HTPC. TIA
The XP 90 is pretty poor to begin with. Even the four pipe AMD stock heatsink performs just as well as the XP90. Something like the Tuniq Tower, Scythe Ninja, Scythe Infinity, or TT Typhoon would fit the bill much better.
then why is it a recommended heatsink? I wasted my money.
