slk 948u

I finally gave up on my xp-120. I took it off and installed an slk 948u. My idle temps went from 46C to 40C and load from 58C to 52C. I don't know what the deal was with that xp 120. I know I should have gotten better temps with it but it just didn't happen.

Are you sure you mounted the XP-120 correctly? There's no way an SLK-948u will outperform a XP-120, ever.

really , cuz the 120 looks like it has insufficient cooling capabilities , I said looks , as I didnt see any reviews yet , but I was leaning towards buying another 900u cuz I know how well tehy perform .I am going to look at some reviews and see for myself , but I dont think by the looks of it , the 120 will ever out perform my 900u

This should give you an idea of the XP-120's performance:
