No argument, just 1 fin less by my count than yours. I even said all cool the same because extra fins are not fit to heatpipes thus are not radiating heat.You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I was trying to argue with you. Thanks for posting your resume though?
I was trying to say your post validates mine.
I was trying to say is your cropped Thermalright pics are photographic proof of what I was trying to show about the extra fins in Thermalright dimensional drawings.
I agree, Phantom Spirit 120 EVO and Phantom Spirit 120 top is more finished looking than Phantom Spirit 120 SE standard top showing heatpipe ends.I think the EVO looks better than the SE obviously.. but I like the fact that I can drop in my T30 no problem while using the stock clips. Try that on the SE. I saw the HWC review, and I do not agree with a few things they had to say, but I am not a reviewer so.. just another voice in the crowd
Edit:
Those extra fins are the difference between your 120 fan that is sitting on your G.Skills being flush with the top, or sticking out a quarter inch over the top.
I wonder is T30 could be squeezed into middle of EVO same as SE. My guess is with about same amount of tweaking it would fit.
