Yup, only downside is that the fan clips can only fit the 25mm thick fans and you don't get any airflow on the ram or PWM area unlike the XP-120. The mounting for the Ninja is WAY better than the mounting for the XP-120 though..

But SI-120 mounting is better than Scythe Ninja
IMHO anyway.

SI-120 vs Noctua NH-U12. Stay tuned...preliminary results next week.

It's the same mounting as the XP-120.

I dunno, I just think that it's a pain not being able to access all of the tabs and also my experience with the XP-120 in regards to unmounting it is pretty bad (AS5 + XP-120 = CPU pins bent coz it got stuck to the base of the cooler And NO, I did not use the same amount of TIM as the Apple macbook builders )

Well the clips are easier to access because of the gap between the fin mass and the base of the SI-120..
And I think the CPU getting stuck can happen with any heatsink

If yours got stuck, it meant that you put too much thermal paste.

I put a really thin layer. I spend a long time spreading a little bead of AS5 all over the IHS. AAY saw it... LOL! Even putting on a really thin layer, the XP-120 and Ninja still manage to squeeze a lot out... o_0

Really great mounting force on both.

You don't have to apply the whole core, because only middle portion is actually the core, and the IHS is not really acting like a IHS as anyway, with our much more efficient heatsink.
