i saw this one for sale at svc.com's warehouse when i was picking up an order and omfg it is huge: any pictures dont do it justice
plus you can add a second fan to it

let me know what you guys think plus the blue matches my case

I have heard that the Thermalright XP-120 cools better. However I think it's bigger than the one you are looking at there.

ughh didnt really like the way it looks only one i would consider would be the blue led version in 92mm

Either way. I personally hate leds. I would definatley sacrifice a light for extra cooling where it counts...

zalman 7700cu are very good

an XP-120 would block dimm4 on an DFI lanparty (assuming you are getting that) unless you mount it a different way (forgot how you do it)

i believe that somewhere i read it said that the xp120 could be mounted in any direction ive seen the 7700cu and was not very impressed with it. I like the xp120 much better and how sick would it look with a 120mm blue led fan on it
