"Green" marketing is overall a boon to the environmental movement i guess i mostly agree with that, although i have my reservations. when an idea is marketed and "packaged", often the essense of what the idea was before it was packaged is lost. ideas can be marketed-to-death. buzzwords can lose all...

thermalright si-128 or xp-120 vs si-97
has anyone done a head-to-head comparison of one of thermalright's 120mm heat sinks and their si-97 heat sink?
if you have personal experience with these products, assuming quiet 120mm and 90mm fans respectively, what's the ballpark temperature diff?

Spec is correct. However, it isn't a horizontal obstruction. The two support bars run from front to back, and the SI97 probably sits somewhere close to the middle of those two. The space / clearance between the two support bars is 84mm the last time I measured. So, you can just pop a 80mm fan into ...
