Mikhailtech take a look at Thermalright's hybrid XP-90 heatsink.



As you can probably guess, the XP-90 is anything but small. Measuring in at 116 mm (length) x 96 mm (width) x 75 mm (height), it's taller without a fan than a stock Intel cooler with one. It accepts both 80mm and 92mm fans, though there's absolutely no reason to go with an 80mm model when 92mm will provide you with just as much (if not more) airflow at a reduced noise level. While the base is nickel-plated copper, the rest is aluminum which leads to the biggest shocker: it weights only 360 grams! This fits in with their "Light 'N Easy" campaign as it's well below the official limit of 450 grams. And if that's not enough, even more amazing is the fact that it's only 10 grams lighter than the much larger XP-120.
