For the record I also have NexXxos XP Silver, since around 2005. Bought it with a laing pump, plexi, reservor and NexXxos Rev III 360 radiator
Oh man the cpus this block has cooled... Athlon 3200+, E8400, R5 2600 and now a R7 5800x.
I'm thinking of changing it for the XP³ after a lot of research, but would really like to know the micro channels surface area.
I know the XPX is better but I'm almost sure it has a smaller fin area, so the XP³ should outperform it in Ryzen cpu's, due to them having the hotspot on the lower part of the chip. If the micro channel area of the XP³ covers everything, I believe it should be better.
Can you confirm please?
Thank you
