Best cooling when Thermalright 120 won't fit...?

[lordsegan]

I am debating the Big Typhoon VX and the Thermalright Ultima-90.

Does anyone have opinions on these units? I do not have the vertical room in my Enermax Uber Chakra case because of the 250mm side fan which extends into the case.

Ultima-90 performs way better than the Typhoon, especially under load.

Of course you need to purchase a seperate fan.

Which of these fans is good?

Panaflo is good yes?

Panaflow, Sythe S-Flex and Silverstone I hear make the best fans.
Yate Loon is good I guess if you need chap fans.

The Ultima-90 fits 120mm fans, does it not?


If you have the space, consider a 38mm thick fan.

Unfortunately, my case is not "wide" enough to fit it. It will hit the side panel AFAIK.

Zalman CNPS9700LED, does it fit into your case?

Dunno why you would want to go with a bigger, heavier HSF when the Ultima-90 + an S-flex beats the CNPS9700 by like 7C.

The Zalman is listed as 3 mm higher than the Ultima. I think that *if* the Ultima fits, it will only clear my side fan by about 5mm... ugh..... it's gonna be close.

running an ultima 90 atm, its great, stuck a 92 mm panflow on, couldnt be happier.
