Opinions please

[Claw5]

Forgive me for starting a thread on a topic that has probably been beat to death but after too many 'adult beverages' I guess I'm just stupid-
I would just like opinions / experiences with the Thermalright line of heatsinks.
In particular- just wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade from an SLK-947U to an SP94, or the newer XP-90. My current temps are approx. 41 idle, and Prime95 breaks 60.
I saw the XP-120 but I am worried about capacitor and chipset fan interference.

Thanks.

You already have a nice HS, i dont think you would gain anything by swapping. You could always add a more powerful fan or switch to AS5 if you dont use that already. You may just be at the point where its time to switch to water cooling!

Im quite happy with my 948 though, i dont think i'll be changing for a long time.

Right now I'm using AsII. I did consider water cooling, but I'm a bit of a p***y- I keep hearing it's not a question of if it will leak, but when. I guess my temps are 'ok', but I'm just wanting to get that extra few degrees cooler.

Thanks.

On the fan-
you're right- at present I'm using an Enermax adjustable fan ( set on high ), would probably do better with a more 'butch' fan.
