XP-90 VS Evercool WC-202?

[mybrainisawaffle]

So right now I have a XP-90 on my +3500, it gets the job done well, but I have the chance to buy a Evercool WC-202 kit. Would this be a step up at all?

Personally I'd go with high quality air like a BT (needs side breathing hole and fan for optimum performance), Scythe Ninja, or Tuniq Tower

I think the XP-90 IS high quality if paired with a good fan...

O it's solid true, but not in the league of those above mentioned.

How does it compare to the XP-90 I have?

It weighs half and costs half. IMO its a better buy

I never said it wasn't a good a buy (though when you think about it, the stock Opty hsf performs just as well and you can get those pretty cheap). It just doesn't perform as well as those mentioned. As for weight, I haven't had any problems with my BT, had it for like 4 months now, did an in case install & uninstall too.

actually ur totally right about those stock heatpipes that come w/ the newer retail cpus. They perform on par w/ xp-90s. So yea, if ur feeling cheap, go w/ the stock heatpipes, i believe they're 15 dollars somewhere. At most you'll c 2-3 difference in either direction.

I went ahead and bought it. I'll be doing alot of mods to it, I'll compare them VS. stock.
