SI-128 vs Ninja in an Armor case w/25cm (a lot of airflow)

[thebeatfiend]

Here is a link to the case, and I have drawn arrows to show the airflow orientation. Blue - air entering, Red - air leaving.

I hoping to still keep the system pretty low noise by using lower rpm fans.

I will be adding another HDD cage where the top blue arrow is, and It will have a fan in the front.

Now the question is which heat sink would work best?

This is what I think the SI-128 will keep the CPU cooler because it will get cool air from the big fan, and of course i will add a 120mm fan on top of SI-128.

Please give me your opinions and tell me what you think if you have any other heatsink in mind thatwould work better please let me know. perhaps the scythe mine.

BTW, the mobo i going to be a P5W DH w/ e6600.

If it where me, I'd go for either the SI-128 or a [Thermalright] Ultra-120

Crushage:

Ninja vs Ultra-120

And keep in mind that's with a relatively low CFM fan at 12V (1000 RPM). With something running at 1500+ RPM, the gap will widen.

i'd go with the thermalright ultra 120 or the scythe ninja.
Those work will(better than the SI-128)in a case with good airflow like urs.
And the ultra 120 cools better than the ninja under the same conditions.And its about the same price.
So i suggest u get the thermalright ultra 120.

 

[thebeatfiend]

would you still recommend the si-128 over the noctua nh-12?

 

[hardwareking]

i would recommend the thermalright ultra 120 over both of them.
But out of the 2 i'd go with the noctua nh-12.

I'd get the SI 128, should make sure you don't have any problems with RAM and the location of the fan for the ninja (my fan sits on top of the RAM, which isn't good).

thanks guys for your input
