I am debating between these 2 coolers and I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of temp advantage there is with the copper version (please use celsius).

If anyone knows of a link comparing these 2 I'd appreciate it (or any cu vs. alcu from the same model e.g. 7700-cu vs. 7700-alcu)

What's your budget and why are you only choosing between those two?

My budget is about 30$-35$ but I also want something quiet cause I sleep right next to my computer.
The reason I chose between those 2 is because those seem to be my best options but I'm very open to suggestions!
 
I've been running the 7000b-alcu for around 2 years now and it has been great so far. The basic differences between the alcu and cu is weight mostly. The CU is a few hundred grams heavier and i believe cools about 2-3C better from the complete copper design. This can be evened out though by using arctic silver 5 on the alcu version to drop temps a bit more. When using the fan controller with it, you can make it run silent.
