That thing is huge lol... Big freaking brick. It also costs $50 where as the Ninja costs $35.

It definitely has the lowest temps though. I wanna see some others do some reviews on it.

Thanks for thread lifeguard 1999.

I'm using a Ninja on a A8N32 in a P180 and am having trouble getting airflow to the chipset(s) heatpipe.

The Tuniq Tower looks interesting. I might have to become a guinnea pig. The way the fan sticks out the bottom it looks like it would be simple to direct the some of the air down the board. Hmm...

Do you guys think the XP-90C is worth the extra bucks over the XP-90?

Edit: After more research I don't think the XP-90C is worth the extra bucks so I will be getting an XP-90

jmke · Feb 22, 2006

depends if you want silent operation and good cooling; the XP-90C is able to offer that, the XP-90 has more difficulty.

Tuniq Tower review at Xbit gives wrong performance pictures, not the same fan used on all heatsinks in their test.

We'll just keep bumping it...

That Tuniq Tower looks scary. I'll never touch it...afraid it might bend the board too much.

atybimf · Feb 27, 2006

Yes commendable work, makes deciding on a heatsink a little easier. Now how about a similar thread on water cooling, I know I'm aiming for one one of those fanless water tower's.

No I am not but I'm sweet on one of the lady Mods:heart:

I subscribe to this thread, so my PM lock alerts me when there is a post. Coming into this
thread to find a bump is not what it's about.

lifeguard has done a fine job. This thread is about posting reviews...Not discussing them.

Do we really need 20+ reviews of a single HS/F? I think this list would be better served if you focused on the better more comprehensive reviews and leave out the fan-boy sites.
