Replacement for XP-90 - Ultra 120 or Ninja?

Not worth it. The XP90 is great still.

Also, make sure these new giant HSF fit your case. The Big Typhoon barely fits in mine, and I gotta take the fan out to take the mobo tray out lol.

There will be a difference if you change HS's but i doubt its worth the added cost, surely the XP-90 is no better than the SP-120 and the Ultra-120 or even the TT-BT but the temp drop could possibly be a little. maybe 2c ?

Your temps aren't that high, I don't think it's worth the 30-40$ unless you got money to burn. I just installed my XP-90 last week, had it sitting around as I could hit 2.6ghz on stock cooling. With summer and my move to a place that boils when i'm not home/ac not on I put the XP-90 on and temps dropped like 5C on average, not bad but amd64's are pretty cool chips to begin with.

Think I'll pass on the heatsink change-over until I need to. I can pick up a S775 bracket to use with my XP-90 if required.
