Nice to finally see Joe's review of the heatsink. It's insensitivity to airflow is rather amazing. Considering how heavy the heatsink is already I'd say we've reached the pinnacle of what air cooling can bring, and this sink can do it on the quiet side.

Competition for H2O in the noise department? I think so.

shoot...that's a great HS! I wonder what fan he used on there,or if ANY variable speed Fan will do a decent cooling job.

Joe uses a Vantec Tornado and varies the rpms.

SPCR will probably slap a Nexus fan on it. I'd expect the results to be similar to Joe's.

great heatsink if you don't already have a xp-90 or xp-120....... prices are coming down too as you can get them now at SVC.com for $39.99..... before long the prices will be lower and this will be proven as the best heatsink on the market for P4 & K8 systems.

Great so see a review for the xp90c. Doesnt look like there is much of a difference from the regular 90.

wow, that C/W performance is great. Does anyone know how many CFM the tornado does at 2000rpm? if it is under 40, I think I will go that route instead of an xp-120.

Well, it's 120cfm at 5000 rpm, so if the flow curve was linear (it's not) it would be around 48cfm.
