Scythe's the best. Personally a nice Amber Akasa would be good.

Yes as Jokester stated the Scythe is the best after reading comparative reviews of both.

do you have a link to that review comparing the two?

I saw a chart in a thread over on overclockers.com when I was researching into which HS to get. At the time it was pretty much a toss up between the Ninja or the Thermaltake Big Typhoon.

Ninja

I have the SI-120 but i wish i got the Scythe. It is better and it directs the air to the rear exhaust fan too.

Here's a review for the SI-120.

Here's one for the Ninja Plus.

Here's another for the Ninja.

Another for the SI-120.

The reviews arnt always that accurate and which coolers best will depend on case airflow to a certain extent but the ninja will destroy the si120 with similar fans. Sometimes the BT is better than the ninja and some reviews say BT and some say ninja - just comes down to case airflow. The ninja is more setup to have air being exhausted staight out back of case

Looking into the Ninja, anyone fitted one to my motherboard? Will the fan hit the RAM?
