simple question, what is the difference? y is the 90c 10 quid more?>

Made out of copper, cools better but heaver.

one of them is copper

Runningkid · 25 Mar 2006 at 13:58

so i assume better one is copper therefore more expensive which is the 90C.

how much of a difference will i expect?

About 2-3c lower at idle and 3-5c lower at load.

depends what cpu

3700+ @ 2.8

depends on the volts, ambient temp, case temp and case flow. Generally it will lower your temps a couple od degrees thou

o i c, well in your own opinion is it worth that extra bit of money?

Get the XP-90c and a ZALMAN Fan adapter to hook up a 120mm fan. . .

The XP90-C doesn't fit on all motherboards because of the capcitors. Check with the Thermalright website before purchase.

I've recently purchased one and it does lower your load temps by 15 degrees. I have got a 92mm Vantec Tornado on the top though....and yes it does sound like a plane taking off!!!

The heatsink has got machining lines on the bottom but a tube of artic silver compound will solve that problem.
