Whats the top 3 best AMD 939 heat sinks?

[myth]

a) cost too much
b) To dangerous
c) no place in or out of case for a pump...

the XP90 is VERY close in performance compared to the XP120 and much better suited to use with an AMD rig

it is also much cheaper by about ~ 1/3 and with an 92mm Papst you get near total silence + exceptional cooling

BTW i use an XP120 that keeps my 2.8c M0 @ 3.8 VERY cool

Honestly, Myth, given how much you clearly spend (regularly) on your rig, neither a) nor c) really hold water...

But I keep telling my self "this will be my last upgrade!" But it never is!

and b) can be fixed using that inertx or whatever it's called liquid..

You got to be kiding me!

Well I was going to get one of these till I found out its 5.5 inches wide, and weighs 2 pounds!

[Thorsson]

Yeah, it's a big mutha. I got one coming (so to speak). Hope it fits...

well the thermalright 120 wont fit! Any other ideas? How about this?

Edit: Does any one know if the XP-90 will fit on my mobo in sig? There site doesnt say...

Both will fit, both are heavy, both are expensive! Any ideas or recomendations?

Got a XP120 on my MSI KN8 Neo2 Wi-fi

I think it had the lowest c/w of all the heatsinks out at the mo

It fits just... Take's a bit of know how to mount it depending on the machine and obstructions and one of the caps has to bend slighty but not enough to do harm.

I've seen pics on the web of people getting the XP120 mounted wrong so anyone getting one take care reading the instructions

deffo excellent heat sink, have had my A64 running 1.84v and its handled it.

XP-90 fits. Personally I worry about the torsion put on the motherboard by the "high-rise" heatsinks, so that seems a good choice if a 120 won't fit.

The Coolermaster Hyper 48 fits. I have the that hsf and the same mobo as yours, idle ~36, full load ~46, quite a big margin, anybody try the StarIce yet? Ppl says it pretty good, never had a chance to test though.

Thermalright XP-120, ASUS Star Ice or Arctic Cooling Freezer64 atm I would hypothesize. In general though the lower the pressure of the fan you you the smaller the gap between the XP-120 and XP-90, Hyper 6 coolers.

OK - I've had an Asus Star Ice and it went back to OCUK and was swapped for the XP-90 as the Asus wouldn't fit on my board without hitting the ram in the first DIMM slot.

The XP-90 was a piece of piss to fit and mine is fitted with a Blackfire 92mm UV fan which looks the dogs. The heatsink is designed so that the heatpipes take all the heat up to the aluminium fins which overhang above the pots next to the CPU and so cool those down as well.
