Default Thermalright SI-120 CPU Cooler Review!

It may be a lightweight, compared to the monster coolers that have been popping up, but it sure performs like a champion! Like a thoroughbred horse, the Thermalright SI-120 CPU cooler certainly shows its distinguished lineage. Find out why we love this cooler so much!

The fan pictured on the right was a Spire 120mm, and apparently Papst fans have the same problem.
Sorry to say, but this is definitely wrong for Papst Fans. All of them fit the Thermalright perfectly fine.

I have the SI-120 since March of this year and use a Papst F2GLL 120mm fan (1200 rpm -> extremely silent and still more efficient than any solution I have ever had before). For users with more demanding setups the F2GL with 1600rpm might be the better solution.

Maybe you should correct that in the review.

Just as a bit of a follow-up...indeed I was mistaken about the Papst fans, my apologies.
Here's an article by Madshrimps comparing several 120mm fans:

The ones identified in the article as having the Thermalright-incompatible "rib type" construction include fans from GlobalWin, mCubed, as well as Yate Loon/Nexus.
