AC Freezer 7 pro or Scythe Katana Cu?

[jamori]

It seems both can be had for about the same price ... is there a clear winner? I'm wanting to stick with these smaller hsf's so I won't need to be concerned about moving the case around a lot.

I intend to overclock with an e6400 or e4300.

My Katana Cu is coming in and I'll be ocing a 4300. I chose it coz the Katana (regular) seems to have good reviews so I expect the Cu to be a bit better and lighter than the tower coolers such as the NINJA/INFINITY/TUNIQ. I also need it to be light for mobility

If you haven't received any other answer I'll reply again once I OC with it and get the temps.

Anyone else?

The AC 7 Pro comes with a quiet, ceramic bearing fan.
Look over the 100+ HSF comparison tests at madshrimps.be. It can be found in the stickied thread at the top of this forum.

Where can you find Freezer 7 pros in stock and at normal price? What happened to them.. they are sold out every where, discontinued?

Froogle has them for $20.
