I'm about to order a computer with an X2 4400 cooled by a Zalman 7700-alcu with AS5 (would go with 7700-cu but I move the case around occasionally and just don't want to risk hanging 900g+ on the mobo). And yes, it will fit on the motherboard I'm getting, so don't waste your time telling me to make sure. I'm thinking it shold be good enough cooling (right?), but I couldn't help and be curious:
Seeing how the X2 has two cores, both sitting next to each other...
Seeing how the 7700-alcu has a strip of copper on the base surrounded by aluminum...
Seeing how copper takes care of heat better than aluminum...
Does that copper strip on the zalman line up with the two cores of the X2?
Although it's probably impossible to reposition the zalman to do this, would it make a signifigant difference in cooling to situate the copper strip to line up with the cores?
