I agree...If the XP120 fits on your board and in your case...Oh Yeah !!!!

XP120, better option of fans in both silent and monstrous fans

I think so, but you will not be able to go to sleep if you put that on your Heatsink .

Get a panaflo.

I have and use both the XP-120 and the XP-90. As others have said, go with the XP-120 if you have the space for it.

The noise level will be determined by the fan you use on either cooler, so you can choose a fan accordingly. The Thermalright fan that you can buy with either cooler is not very quiet. I run Vantec Stealth fans on my two coolers and I'm very satisfied with the low noise levels.

Do some research on different fan makes and models, comparing airflow (CFM) with noise levels (dBa) and base your fan decision on that. Panaflo fans are excellent, but they have a noisy model also.

Per thermalright, yes it will, but:

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D First PCI-e slot blocked by Heatpiples
