xp-90c or tt big typhoon
Which one better?

Why you didnt consider XP120 ? It lighter and cheaper then xp90c. But performence just behind them by a small margin which i consider negligible.

So actually xp-90c and tt big typhoon not much different in the performance rite?

tt big typhoon better value

yeap..agree..thking of gettint tat one too

scythe infinity ...

ThermalRight Ultra-120...

ini dua budak ah..mamang naughty! ppl ask xp90 and thypoonvx lu orang suggest lain...

nvr mind la..since they also give suggestion oni...But for me I prefer tt big typhoon...SO si fu got any comment on those two product?

TT big typhoon cant use varies of fan. But thermalright u can just put any fan you want that suit your need. Remember that. I am using XP120 with TT UFO green colour 80m. More then enough to calm a64 4200+ x2.

What u mean by varies of fan? Size or model?

u can put 80,90 or 120mm fan.some heatsink only compatible with certain fan size my fen.

my vote xp120 for value also very nice design

both perform almost same but my vote for thermalright~

As a die hard fan of Thermalright Heatsinks, i'll vote for Thermalright XP90C then...

wakakakakaka...

why not consider SI-120 but XP-120 ??

`

i have problem trying to install my XP 90c on gigabyte DQ-6 bought the lga 775 bracket but it seems that i cant remove the original dq-6 bracket

batter buy big typhoon or if u have extra buget... get XP120 ...

i never use big thyphoon... but u will never regret with xp-90c

If u got budget for XP-120 why not go for Ultra-120 then...
With ultra-120, it reduced my load temp up to 10C compare to XP-120.

Tt Big Typhoon user here...and ThermalRight XP-90 (Aluminium) user too

i must say, both is good, very good, IMO, Tt is quite big and not ideal on cute casing or small casing, while XP-90 is good in overall size, i mean suit in any size of casing. add to that, any standard fan can easily fit into XP-90 while BigTyphoon, maybe need some mod i think..., so i think...it's all depends on you

me vote for thermalright..if can,get xp120 instead of xp90

xp90c is not bad but then to fit it with a screamer fan. the noise is loud. xp120 and typhoon is good also. vortex is heavier than xp120 and xp120 has alu fins only. kinda hard to choose as i love si120 and xp120. but i find vortex's fin is a big too dense but if what the other forummers mentioned that it can only stick to its stock fan. then its not nice as you cannot pair with other fans than have enough pressure to push thru the dense dan.

If your TT Big typhoon fan spoil one day, it will be hard to find a replacement. And for performence/price ratio, i will definately vote for thermalright. Have bad experience with TT volcano series during S462.

TT BT can fit any 120mm fan as long as it's 25mm thick, those 38mm one have to find longer screws

vote ttbtvx.......

hehe get this say ur bye bye

thermalright xp-90c
xp-120 also not bad, but might be too bulky for your pc depending on your setup.

if u have a good casing like TT u shud be able to use xp120.IMO get this very good since xp ultra 120 is really tall if not sycthe ninja shud be enuff

Haih, ko ni, tak abis abis tersalah...

XP 120 and Ultra 120 is two different heatsink liao...

There is no XP Ultra 120...

what casing is the TS using anyway??
well, two type : either those fan blowing downwards like xp-90c, xp-120, ttbt or those blowing sidewards like xp-120 ultra or ninja. i prefer the ones blowing downwards. cools the mosfets, and also my chipset which is nearby

Paiseh, one more mistake, it is not XP-120 ultra liao...

It's Ultra 120...

About you're opinion on blowing downwards, yes, i also agree in that, as i don't just want to cool my processor, i want to cool down everything that is near the processor socket...

thermalright XP-90C user here.. good.& Xp120 also not bad.. . . TT Big typhoon too big... scare mobo KO.. >_<

err ya .. for my opinion , tt product for cooling not that good la ..
most of my tech buddies said dun get TT ..
anyway , i got myself a scythe infinity .. XD !!!!
so big yet so nice .. can dry ur hair .. hahaha !!!

wahaha, who say tt no good?
xp-90c, put on a tt ufo fan and u get instant bling. hehe...

Because some of their products are just made to get some profits, not for the goodness of their customers...

For example, Thermaltake Bigwater SE, that sucks so much...

4 me, i'll choose either XP-90C or TT MiniTypo (both r full copper)
i cant bear a huge heatsink in my casing

sum1 used MiniTypo? how bout its performance?

sorila im a noob

XP120 is already out of the market, Thermalright has stopped producing XP120 for a long time edi...

It's a phase out model...

maybe can get 2nd hand just a suggestion.i'll go for g power pro its light bundle with good fan but hellish to assemble.

who said that?
i use Big Typhoon and max load never reach 40 deg.

Thermaltake Air Cooling heatsinks are good...

The thing that brings Thermaltake Products to lower quality and bad name for Thermaltake is their Watercooling Parts...

what wrong with their parts? cepat rosak ka?

It's not that it's "cepat rosak"...
It's about it's performance...

All their watercooling system can be beaten by any high end air cooling heatsink...

my gigabyte G-power Pro
the "smart fan controller" burn at the first day i install (after used 6 hours)

Gigabye tech support reply me this is 1st case
and the shop keeper said
it never happen

so i ask them 1 to 1 exchange to me

ok, bro this thread has been going on four bout 5 months di, iirc both companies have realeased their new lines of heat sinks... ok, if u havent bought ur heatsink, let me recomend u a comprehensive list (available in malaysia) of the best performing heatsinks and bang for buck heatsinks.

firstly, if u want pure performance with money no object, theres definately the ultra 120 extreme, seems like the tr engineers heard our story when we did the hsf roundup bout the base problems, n made an even beter one.

secondly, best performance for the money, u got two choices, theres the ttbtvx, or an artic colling freezer pro (depends on wat socket u use, amd would be freezer 64 pro, intel would be freezer 7 pro)

thirdly, xp90c and xp120 have been hased out by way beter designs, n its hard to find, no doubt if i could i would buy an xp120 ( its still one of teh sexiest hsf around) , the si-120 is a much beter option and well designed heat sink, but even that has been replaced by the si-128, but as u can see form me and superflys comparisons tests, the si-120 is the beter all round hsf, as the si-128 has teh same base dsign as the hr-01 and ultra 120, meaning it might have some problems on intel sistems, an from my personal observation, the base design on the hr-01 is more towards amd side of things, n will have somtimes dificulty in an intel processor hsf. this is only my personal observantion, and in no way is it officially proven. but if u see these three hsfs side by side, u will c wat imean.

as u can se i have left out the other brands like zalman and cooler master, and noctua and etc. firstly i think zalmans coolers are overpriced , no doubt revolutionary and inovative( cnps9500 & 9700 hsfs) its is expensive when a similar or beter performing hsf can be had for less ( come on 210 for a cnps9500 is way too much when even the tuniq tower 120(imo the best aircooler now days but availability is low) can be had for a liitlle more form online stores.) secondly cooler master is not consistent with their quality, u can heard storuies of hsfs performing well , then anotehr of the samee hsf performing under expetation, btm so far tehir Geminii AKA Fujin heatsink looks good, but its beter for heavy overclockers as its quite big and heavy. lastly noctua coolers are complicated to fit, trust me i have done one and i did the mounting bracket wrong even folowing the instructuions as most of teh parts for amd and intel look similar. not to say noctua is bad, ( sorry irangan ) i mean i would hapily own one of them, but to me mounting systems must be easy to use and simple in design,( artic cooling has as far as i know teh easiest to fit coolers around, excluding thermalright as their hsfs can sometimes be dificult.

p/s i left scythe out of this coz im not a believer in more size equalls more performance, look at hr-01, comapre the teh ninja, its absolutely tiny, yet it performes similar.

Nothing to sorry about. Hehe. I do admit that mounting a Noctua U12F is not a easy task especially to someone that new in third party heatsink installation. But it is tedious for a reason. I did emailed Noctua regarding this matters and they told me that the mounting design is neccessary because from their R&D, that is the best method to mount in order to provide the required pressure on the processor.

Lack pressure = Lack contact = Higher temp

phew lucky u not coming after me with a parang wanting to chop my head coz i say noctua bad...lol....somemore u know where i live lol...neway yeah i got a similar reply from them, adn it does provide good pressure....so function over form i guess

LOLZ... Dont worry, I will come to find you one.. But for yam cha.. need to ask you about WC stuff. Hehe..

Back to Noctua stuff, I just studied the manual book and found that the instruction there is quite straight forward wor. I am quite sure most ppl wont have problem mounting. I mounts it even without looking at the manual.

Yup, it is function over form for sure. But seriously why someone will get something that expensive if its performance not up to the mark but it is real nice.. haha.
