Which HS/F would be better for cooling an E6600 on a GA-P35C-DS3R?

I could get the ACFP7 for ~$20, and the Zalman for ~$30, so both are pretty close in price, so looking at performance difference.

How about the Scythe Infinity? Found that for $42 shipped NIB. I hear that it is very quite and pretty good. How does it stack against the Zalman, price taken into consideration?

Check the AT charts in the myriad of reviews for specifics. Personally I used a Scythe ninja and HATED the retention and was as big a pita Ive had in the computing world. The 9500 and the acfreezer may be about even in cooling. Check the charts.
